*HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!* 🍗🦃 I hope you all have a *GREAT* day! _I am thankful today for all of you who make this channel possible!_

happy thanksgiving!

Same to you Patrick!

To help with your rotary table if its the same as a metal lathe chuck which it sure looks identical you can turn the chucks teeth out and flip them around to hold much larger items, it will bring your jaws in more then enough to clear your workpiece. Hope this helps ya, it sure is easier then playing around with the software. Make sure you put the jaws in the same spots as they are made in pairs do its important they stay in the same slots.

Happy Thanksgiving Rich!! Thanks for the video on setting up the rotary, it saves me a lot of frustrations and wasted materials!!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Happy Thanksgiving Gayle! Watch the other one I released last week for doing normal tumblers.

[@johnvon3786]

Happy Thanksgiving, Rich fantastic video you took care of all of the concerns that all of us need to know about great job 😊

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

That was the goal John, now I have to rewatch it and smack my forehead 🤕 when I find something I missed! 🤪

I use them both ways, thanks.

HappyThanksgiving everyone. Rich I am glad I do not need to figure all of this out by myself. BTW, I ordered the 30 watt yesterday with the rotary. Hope to have great news on the 23rd.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Happy Thanksgiving Richard, and Congrats on the new laser!

[@Jay.C.H]

I think there should be a warning label on the rotor that tells you to lift the laser. People like me forget these major steps. When I get mine I will definitely make one. Also reminder to disable the laser when done in Lightburn.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I do it by instinct.

[@slhasebroock]

Happy Thanksgiving Rich!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Same to you, thanks!

[@beckysani7630]

Great video. Thank you. I would love to see how you flip the chuck over and do a large tumbler with the floor taken out.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I'll be doing one or more in the future.

Happy Thanksgiving

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks so much Carl! Back at ya!

[@sicciful]

thank you for this interesting video when I buy roly. I have learned something again Happy Thanksgiving

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@LarryDMitchell]

Good information Rich. I'm waiting to get my MK2 with Rotary next week. I'm glad I saw this before getting it. Thanks

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@ronnie100393]

Great video as always!! Waiting to see you use the camera???

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I have no need for the camera Ronnie, since I work in absolute coordinates, and the LaserMATIC has a precision honeycomb. I am however, going to do a camera video when I get some time with tips for perfect accuracy and tips you've never seen before, not even from the Lightburn staff.

[@MrJameselyle]

Great info Thanks for all your help learning these lasers

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

No problem 👍

[@terryclair2914]

Rich thanks again for your videos always a big help, I always learn something. Personally I use "Current Position" to avoid homing and then drive the laser head from a rear parked position to where I want the start position to be before starting the burn. But I only use the chuck rotary for oddball shaped objects. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks for sharing Terry! I only use absolute coordinates for exact precision work, except on the rotary.

[@kennethfrick9879]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family also. Thanks for the video! There is so much to look out for. 🤯 Great job, as always explaining it all.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too Kenneth!

[@randyday3278]

Good video Rich! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks Randy👍

Thanks Rich

My pleasure Nick!

[@jessetutterrow4320]

Happy Thanksgiving Rich!! I am thankful for all your videos and all that I have learned from you. Now on to questions: Can the jaws be used in expansion (inside the wine glass) as well as compression (outside)? Do the jewelers' jaws come with the chuck? Many years ago, you did a video on rotaries where you calculated the circumference and drew a rectangle of that height, you then burned the rectangle on a sacrificial piece and compared the top and bottom lines to verify they were collinear. If not, you adjusted one of the parameters on the rotary setup window. Does this have to be done with the Lasermatic?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Q1 - Yes, Q2 - Yes, - Q3 No. Happy Thanksgiving Jesse!

[@Sergiodj453]

Hey Rich, just got my 30 watt MK2 so this video is very helpful. BTW when do you expect to finish your settings suggestions for the 30 watt?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I'm expecting to have a 10/20/30W combined library finished by the New Year Sergio.

[@allanbourner4569]

Great Video Rich, I am about to order The MK2 Roly, Do you know if the xtool rotary works with the Roly?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

No, it does not, it has a different pinout. If you're ordering the LaserMATIC, I would appreciate it if you order via my affiliate link! rolyautomation.com/lnJ4A7

[@warped2875]

After homing, then jogging to the job position with LightBurn button, how can you make sure that you don't manually move the gantry when focusing?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Focus first, then home and move.

[@warped2875]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I thought that you have to have the module all the way up to miss the chuck rotary when you home it, then send it to the work position, and lastly set the focus height.

[@JumboShr1mp]

? I juat got the vivosun 4" fan. ? is can I run that fan inline with the lasermatic xw fan? Or should I find a three party open exhaust house for xw.

[@blah_z]

Home in the opposite corner?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Home on this laser is the front left. Home positions vary by manufacturer and can be in any corner.

[@blah_z]

Pity, I was only thinking o putting the limit switches on the far right corner but using a value of x = machine width, y = 0@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

This machine already has them. But if you're adding them to another laser, the far right corner would be x = machine width, y = machine height

[@CockatoobirdmanBill]

As a CNC sort of guy can I order a Chuck Head in two (2) or in tour (4) or even (6) jaw??...PS. LaserMATIC Mk2, (30Watt) on order due to ship.after Dec. 1to10 Batch 6.... Wish you and yours a happy THANKSGIVING wish Leo the same🦃 Bill🦜

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

No, most diode chuck rollers only have three extension bars. The head is removable, but I have no idea where you would find one this small Bill. Gobble gobble, and congrats on the Mark 2! You're going to love it!

[@CockatoobirdmanBill]

​@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thank you for your reply. After I get my Mk I'll let you know what I can find out Happy Turkey Day!!!🍗🦃
