Great video. I'm going to have to watch several more times to take it all in. Thanks

Thunderbolt accessories are crazy expensive.

Hello. Joe from Missouri. The laser you’re talking about in this video? Like to know the type, & cost? I’m new to this so I don’t want to go overboard on price. I buy stuff from Hobby lobby. They’re all finished wood. Just engraved it . Especially if you don’t have a lot of tools. Have a great weekend.

Been running an xtool d1 10w for about a year. Time for an upgrade and decided on the Thunder Bolt (before watching this video) thanks for justifying my purchase lol. Great video, new sub

Thanks for the video! Looking to upgrade soon.

what kind of glue did you use?

Are you able to use 3rd party rotarys like the Xtool RA2 pro?

I prefer this to the nose-in approach...you can easily see if the tool is a drill or a driver, etc.

Laser Engraving 911 put out a video on the F1 Ultra and had a really great idea for the surfaces that were too reflective to process. He dusted them with talc powder to mask the sheen and they engraved without any issues.

Very very informative amen. I'm all in! Thanks much for sharing.

i cut 3mm ply mainly, i have a 10w now bnut will upgrade to a 450 watt dio soon. what speed can you cut 3mm ply with a 40?

this was a really goos intrudiction form to laser techs, thank you

Use 3m tape on the bottom of the acrylic before you cut- so it’s like a sticker to attach. They have really strong tape. Houston Acrylic sells some too! It looks great!

Right now with the sale the P2 is hard to beat it’s like $1,500 off but the bolt seems to just be so much better.

These prices are outrages

It baffles me that a laser as professionally made and sold at such price as Thunder still uses stickers to label their ports and controls like one of those K40 units. They couldn't care less about screen and pad printing those areas when manufacturing the enclosures. I know this doesnt affect its use but it reflects a lot about their attention to details.

So I didn't see any VERSUS in this video, only promoting XTOOL laser. lol

Are there any 40W range diode lasers which aren't chinese crap?

Some reason when trying to frame, the Conveyor won't move at all, why is this? I'v tried everything, everything is in and that, but it won't move the rollers

Thanks for the information

Laser Projects lol Not sure if anyone has said this in the comments but white reflects more light than a mirror finish. On something like this, if i were to use all acrylic i would use white acrylic sheet for the back and if i had translucent white acrylic, say around 30% to 40% translucency i would use that as an added layer just behind the face pieces which would basically sandwich the edge led strips. This would both reflect the led light off both the back and the front back and forth and diffuse the pin points properly I have found in the signs I make. Great video though. and your sign turned out fantastic!

Our one will not move the rollers to pull and move the wood in the conveyer

Can you use the risers to engrave things that are larger than the normal size? For example a bourbon barrel lid is 21”. Could I use this machine to engrave one?

Looking at an engraver for the first time. Would you rather have the S1 40w or the P2 Co2?

Thanks for this video! I’m new to laser and appreciate how thorough and honest you are. I’m more informed then I was 20 minutes ago. Liked and subbed!

Is this a cryocooler can this be used to make liquid nitrogen or liquid air?

Thanks for the ideas... How much have you sold yourself?

Laser projects very interesting!

Laser project. That was a bad ass video

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

Isn't the artificial leather is spreading toxic fumes when laser engraving? Thank you

Fantastic job on the review!

Fantastic job on the video! One other major advantage to the Bolt is the amazing customer service you get! 👍😁

Laser projects!!!!! Let’s Go!!!!!

What settings did you use on the stainless

The LP2 Discount Code doesn't work though :(

Great video, though the one thing I think you should have noted was expected life of the laser. My understanding is that a CO2 tube will need to be replaced every couple years. The RF laser has a much, much longer life span.

Nice video and honest opinion content. Liked and subscribed!

Great video as always Matt. Honest and thoughtful.

Do you by chance know the max height material that will lay flat on the honeycomb and not overlap the inside of the honeycomb frame? I really need to lay something that is 12" high flat, the width is more than fine.

Laser projects!!! I just can't take my eyes away from your beautiful sign!!!

I like your videos my good man. I just bought the P2-S along with the package that includes the riser, conveyor, and rotatory. I am a commercial printing company with the equipment to print full color on acrylic and wood and other substrates. This will open up a whole new direction. I am really stoked! I also got their air filtration system. I saw you other video where you said the smells can run you out. I am looking forward to getting my hands on some cedar. I bet that smells great. I am not a wood working shop though. Again, I appreciate your videos!

I live in a town with a large Airforce base. I’m retired Army and I build/make as a hobby. I have a cnc and a laser. I was asked by a guy in the Airforce if I could do a retirement plaque for his boss. He wanted something very custom. I was able to build and engrave a very unique plaque. The day after it was presented to him I started getting calls. I now make and sell 3-5 a week with a very high rate of return. So, I agree with getting a cnc and laser. Plus it’s just cool owning a laser.
