Fantastic! Are you able to share any tips on how you managed to do the deep engraving? without leaving the material burnt black? Maybe I am running it too hot. I am using stainless and dont have access to the machine for long so trying to learn as quickly as possible

Wow, this is a nice channel to follow

Good job on the laser video I was wondering if you have a video out for setting up the rotation device l have the 50 watt laser engraver and I really want to get to use the rotisserie but I am having trouble setting it up I do get it to turn but the image on the object and screen does not match up even double checked the dia Hope you can give some advice or a step by step setup video for beginners would be great

Awesome videos

Great video - now that Lightburn works for fiber lasers - do you have a link for settings for Lightburn for metal engraving like the link you included for Ezcad?

Keep it up, thanks :)

Inspired on your video I bought the Fiber Laser 50w from OMTech but I can't make it work the EZCAD2 keep saying demo version and do not get comunication with the laser machine. Do you have any Idea what could be wrong? Thank for your help. You have amazing videos!

Once you focus the laser / lens once and create a focus jig, do you just always use the jig to focus?

What settings you using? I’m having to do multiple passes to get similar results.

Great video! I've had my eye on this exact model for a long time! I know sometimes imported hardware like is is finicky and buggy, and support is usually non-existant... How has your experience been learning the ropes and working with omtech? Is there any long term maintenance that needs to be planned to keep it running well?

learning the ropes is basically go in blindfolded :P No maintenance at all as far as I'm aware. It just works!

First off, amazing video. It has really helped get me started with my fiber laser. Do you have the file of the tool you use to focus the laser? I have a C02 laser so I could make the tool. Second, where can I find the other videos you have done on this laser? I have looked but I can't seem to find it. Last, what are your tips for EZ Cad and setting up the laser since getting it over the workspace perfectly is a hassle. Thank you!

Hi can you share the parameter for aluminium plate?

Is this brand a reliable one vs others ?

As far as I know, it is the infrared light that is dangerous, the powerful beam coming from the galvo head, not so much the bright light generated when the laser light hits the metal.. Also, the microscopic metal parts blown off the surface might "not smell much", but du you want them in your lungs in any case? It is an informative video you have made, but I myself, recently having acquired a similar fiber laser (60W), will approach this with a "better safe than sorry" attitude, much different than your IMHO nonchalant "safety" precautions.

Hi, was wondering could you have engraved 5 pieces at a time..

@Metal_Vistas

Жыл бұрын

Fiber lasers lose power, speed and a bit of focus the farther they travel from the center point, so you want to keep your engraving area as small as possible.

Is it danger to the eye?

Great video but what is the difference between the 30W vs 20W? There is definitely a difference in the price. Thank you!

Жыл бұрын

since no one answered you the higher in Watts u go the more it will cost. Also depends on if it's mopa and such. Unless you are going into like 500 watt range for cutting the only real benifit is it does the job faster

Good video my friend, however, you could laser those on your Co2 easily. Anodized aluminum will laser just fine on a Co2, I have been doing it for years. A Co2 will not laser good on non anodized aluminum. Reason I bring it up is because you could have a jig in your Co2 and do like 10+ at one time instead of 1 at a time.

Subscribed. I’m saving up for a 50W fiber laser machine , hopefully it can provide me decent income. I’m HOPING to replicate full coverage scrollwork “hand engravings” on firearm slides. I’ve seen it done but nobody has done it on video. I’m sure I will learn a lot from your channel. Question , you can order these to be compatible with “easy cad 2” .. do you think it would be s better program to learn on ?
