Why do the thunder lasers look like those Chinese ones people were getting for like 600$

This laser with definitely helped me FOCUS on what I want to work on lol

How does it know the exact corner coordinates to properly zero?

Where can I get info on your spoil board ideas? I’m trying to design one for the STEM school I work at

Hi Brett, I’m rewatching this video because of trouble I’m experiencing with my monport 60w co2. So now that it’s been one more year are you still happy with the monport?

Thanks for the great videos and education

Very informational! Thank you for sharing.

Hi! How did you connect the ground wire? Where does the other end go to?

THANK YOU! looking to get my first CNC for Hobby / Side Hustle work. Very good vid.

Hi Brett, I just received my 4x2 and wanted to bolt it to a flip table. How did you fasten your cnc to the table? I did not see any good spots to fasten it to a table. Thanks Ray

Excellent explanation, thank you for the video!

So does the air stay on still when the machine is on. Or does it turn on when you start a job.

Would it be able to cut 3/4 mdf? Looking to use it for sub boxes, and custom audio work

Hey thanks for taking the time to do this video. I'm nearing retirement and looking to get into CNC woodworking. I'm a hobbyist, and have a bit of experience with 3D printing so I'm familiar with 3D modeling and GCode. I'm gravitating toward this exact model. My shop is a single bay stall garage, and I think the 2 x 4 would give me the ability to do long carvings, but not protrude into my workspace too much. The thing I'm not sure about is whether to go with a router, or a VFD spindle. The router doesn't cost much, and frankly the router wouldn't go to waste if I started with the router, and later decided to upgrade to the VFD. Sounds like you used only a router for the first couple years of CNC work without any serious limitations. Since I'm just planning to get started, I don't see that I would need the spindle - EXCEPT, that I'm also interested in possibly doing a bit of aluminum milling. Can that be done with a router? I've heard they don't have a lot of torque at lower speeds, and I'm guessing aluminum needs to be milled at lower RPM's to keep the heat down. Do you have an comments or advice? I assume you're developing your vectors and tool paths on a laptop somewhere and then transferring them to your tablet over a network. So are you only running the machine control software on the tablet? On the video, I think I saw you controlling the tablet with some sort of handheld controller. What was that?

i think i might get me one... but i need to look further into it

Winner winner Thank you and sorry for the delay!

I just purchased 80W built in chiller. It will be too big for doorway. Does this laser disassemble to transport inside?

Brett - You got my last name correct at the end!

De Portugal. BOA APRESENTAÇÃO

I missed this yesterday and thank you for this! I am such a visual learner and watching you try to figure out settings and doing the testing is very helpful! Appreciate you and your channel Brett!

During the live stream today, can you show the water cooler set up. Not the process, just the way you have it set up. I will be running it through a bucket. Thanks

Hi, thanks for this nice video. I am Italian and I already own an American industrial cnc (Multicam) and so I decided to focus again on a USA product. I ordered it this morning and after 4 hours it already left for Italy. I contacted the technical service for some information and they answered me after 2 hours. Fantastic! I took the 5 Pro 4X4 model.

I would love to see your process that you go through when setting up a new laser for the first time. Running test grids for cutting and engraving parameters is daunting for me (determining min and max power and speed and how many rows & columns is mind boggling). Even using the LightBurn material test grid is challenging. Thank you Brett!

Glad to see you back brother!

Can't wait to join the stream! Looking forward to more of your content.

Acrylic engraving and cutting

Could you show engraving on a glass Christmas ornament?

Engraving photo on wood with 38mm/1,5' and 50mm focus lenses, how much defocus , Power , resolution and Speed..

Acrylic and wood projects, what are the possibilities before needing a CNC router.

Laser engraving pictures would be a great video. Also, learning about laser kerf when cutting material to fit snug.

Lasering on glass tips would be a good video.

Some input on smoke and fume extraction. Wifey is not enthused about me punching a 4 inch hole in our stucco and tbh, neither am I all that much. Distance to the garage door to put it outside throigh or under it is 24+ feet, not overly practical

KZbin suggested this video. I don’t have a laser business but I enjoy watching people make things. I’d be curious to see what a laser could do for woodblock prints. Congrats on your success.

Will it cut 3/8 acrylic?

I agree, Carbide Create has fantastic service! Everyone is very helpful

Isn’t the S1 able to change out laser heads from 20w to 40 or 2w? If you wanted more detailed work?

As a Nova24 owner, this video was very useful. A Pro 32 is definitely on my shopping list.

Did the spindle has an ER11 collet?

Quick Note, just saw two of your videos and like the down to earth way you do your presentation. Recently retired at 78 YO and bought the Shapeoko 4 small to see if I could learn and enjoy. So far it has been a hard learning process for my old brain but I'm to the point of considering moving up to the 5 Pro 4 X 2 mostly for family and friends gifts and maybe some sales later on. Carbide has been great to deal with so after looking a many other machines I will be staying with them due to quality of build and support. You have earned another subscriber as well. Thank You

good job!

Just earned yourself a new SUBSCRIBER!!! One of the best reviews on this CNC. My wife and i are retiring next year and are gonna make a go at the world of CNC, LOL. Been leaning to the Shapeoko and your vid. Made up my mind. Little nervous being an somewhat old man and not the best with Computers/ Technology but gonna do the best we can. Im big on American Made and i hear this is? Thanks for sharing and i will be watching more of your videos. THANKS!!

Thanks for sharing your techniques
