Exquisite explanation.

thanks for the video

Wow. This is fabulous information. I’ve never used a laser cutter and had no clue of their use. I have been poking around ….looking for the type of laser that could fit my craft cutting ideas . Mainly door hangers. But, now, everything is flying through my brain. I’m thinking, only 1/4” birch , nothing more than 3/4” plywood for signs. Any recommendations? I was thinking of the Nova , for unlimited work.

Thank you so much. I have learned more from these tips than I've learned from the many other videos I've watched

Im not 100% certain but if i had to guess why the settings dont work for an image is because the variable text shows the settings for the text layer ans an image cannot have modifiable text. The workaround you use is a great option though.

This is very valuable information that is so clearly explained. Thanks so much!

I don't know why I don't come to your channel first! Every time you help out tremendously! I wasn't going to be able to fulfill orders until this video. THANKS!

Your videos are my go-to, and now I've got a real dilemma. I put in a new tube a month ago and everything was fine, but all of a sudden I started getting weird angled cuts. So, here's what I did - check the lens. Clean. Do an alignment of mirrors following this video, and here's where things fall apart. The first bit of tape I use for testing Y front and Y back? They're not hitting in the same spot. When I align the red dot to where the beam hits at Y Back and then run it forward, the beam is no where near the center. No amount of alignment from that point works because I can't get the Y front and Y back beam to hit in the same spot. I tested the gantry and it's square to the front on the left and right side... not sure how to check the X axis, though. Thoughts? Thank you!

Please excuse my ignorance but I am fairly new to co2 lasers (Omtech 60 watt) and I'm very curious about the extended lens you are using. What advantages do the extended lens offer? Love all your videos and your teaching methods are top drawer.

Great video, why don’t you just use metric, much easier

I’ve been looking to upgrade (getting a secondary machine) that’s better than my current (Omtech 80w cO2) so far Thunder and Aeon are the 2 choices but may go to Aeon Experience in FL 1st to test out other models/manufacturers. Great video on this brand!

After replacing my tube, I've noticed all the cut edges on my parts have a slight angle now. I've cleaned mirrors and lens, but I'm thinking it's gotta be the laser is shooting down at the wood at a slight angle due to the beam not starting at the right spot. Am I thinking right that this is a mirror alignment issue?

The Honda EU1000 will easily run my furnace. Doesn't even come out of idle to run both the circulating and purge fans.

I’ve been looking for a video like this for a while! Great video! Thanks so much!

Thanks!

till now, I always used min and max the same number :D , thanks for the video

Had to load up my laser with anti-freeze so been down for awhile. Off topic; I have not yet gone through this tutorial but I engraved/cut natural leaves with success. tomorrow I am going to try engraving some kaiser rolls. Would not have been able to do it without your online tutorials... the best!

Robert, great video. This was extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

I look forward to videos on the Bolt!

another great RK video! Thank you, Merry Christmas, and a Prosperous New Year sir!

This was really helpful- thanks Robert. Have a Merry Christmas!

Can you change fonts and size in Lightburn? Variable Data is a must if you are personalizing. I worked in the promotional decorating industry and during this time of year a lot of customers will request this and it is such a time saver.

I just leave my bonding plug in the outlet on the inverter generator. My Williamson boiler was not happy without it. It would actually ignite for a few seconds and then shut down. Something to do with the flame sense circuitry.

thanks

Good morning Robert. Just a recommendation concerning Northwest Branded Digital files. After purchasing ask if the “BG”(I think that’s background) is removed from files. Especially when doing slate/marble, as it looks like your graphic is in fog. I had done 2 different projects before I asked her about the issue. (Still new to lasting). Denise quickly responded and resent the files with “BG” removed.

Important to point out that this info applies to furnace motors that are not hard wired into the house. Also, the majority of small generators are bonded so you can plug the furnace cord into the generator without any adapters. All generators should indicate on the front panel whether it has a floating or bonded neutral. If you don't know for sure, contact your manufacturer.

What scrolling button were you pushing to have the laser run along the bottom of the lettering? it looked like it was stopping at all the points. was it just the arrow keys in the "move" tab?

Will this work with other lasers other than the kind you have?

Thanks

Hey, how are you liking this system a few months later? Just ordered mine and curious how they hold up.

thank you!!!

Excellent video and very well explained and thank you for sharing

Does the laser beam only engrave onto the blue tape or go all the way through the tape and into the tumbler surface? Sounds like a great way to test the 360 wrap and matchup from start to finish. Is that what you are doing here?

Brilliant mate!

Appreciate this video mucho! Would you be willing to share where you got the little orange clips that plug into the honeycomb bed?

Thank u sir , it helps me a lot. God bless you 🙏

that is exactly what i am dealing with using Lowes 4mm sanded 4x8 sheets some of the glues wont laser cut at all! i ran it over the same spot it never cut completely through and one even started fire after so many times cutting the same spot lol. well i need a new wood supplier it would seem. I noticed a sticker said china on the sheets of wood and that also concerns me what i may be breathing what are they using in place of normal glues? great video thanks for confirming the issue!

I’ve had my tumbler engraver for over a year. It’s still in the box. 😬 Thank you!

Very helpful video! I’m comparing the different bolts now. For your business, do you feel the regular bolt holds you back in any way compared to the plus or pro?

Great video! Thanks for the clear instruction and demo.

Oooooooooooooooooh! Thank you!

Thanks so much for this very clear demonstration and tutorial. This was the best training I've seen by far, you did it at a speed I could easily follow. Really appreciate that. You earned a subscription sir...and a like!😂 Andrew

Great video, helped me out a lot. Worth saying that the shift + click now works from Lightburn.

This is incredible useful info!! I think this will solve alot of problems we have been having.

I am in the process of performing this very thing and had no idea as I have a Honda 2000w generator. Thank you very much for this great information

good video.. the repetition was excellent.

where do you source those big sheets of leatherette? those are neat

Thanks. The mindset of these lasers has been driving me nuts. I've seen people just throwing material in, cutting a border so it's square and calling it a day. Setting up jigs and fixtures just doesn't seem to occur to people, so I'm very happy to see such a reasonable and expedient way of getting as much accuracy as I can really expect to need. Did you print those clamps yourself or buy them? Securing the jig (and the grate) is another thing I'd like to add to my machine.

Very nice. Did you remove the plastic from the unisub prior to cutting?

Thank you again for all the great info. Did you have a link for that part? I might have missed it since I’m in my phone.
