30 watt diode laser is too strong?

[@LarsDunemark]

I have a jtech 7w attachment to my CNC that I tried once. When I ordered it I thought that I would use it to cut an engrave different stuff but after screwing up on the first try an forget to zero my home/start position which resulted in that the machine went to unexpected start position and fired the laser right into my spoilboard and hit a metal screw reflecting back under my glasses I realized that if I want a laser it should be full enclosed. Haven't used it since but my eye was irritated for 2 weeks but no permanent damage as I know about.

Much so

[@AlwaysCensored-xp1be]

Impressive you can make that box in a day. Great reason for a laser. Planning my workshop layout now. Will allow room for a laser now. Routing MDF is messy and dusty, lasering seems less toxic, even allowing for smoke and bouncing laser beams.

[@EMILE12345678901]

an non-enclosed laser of this power being called "plug and play" is terrifying

[@bami2]

What, you mean that any average joe shouldn't be able to turn their workshop into a chemical warfare zone while getting blinded from reflections and starting fires?

Thanks, I was getting annoyed after the 3rd time "we will get back to that in a minute, first something else" and 6th time saying the same thing just a littlebit different.

[@StefsEngineering]

And how can the conclusion be that they are both legit and trustworthy if they both claim to be the actual company and the other is a dealer.

[@arva1kes]

i believe i got 40w co laser for around 500eur, so going over 1k is really overkill for non-enclosed laster cutter.

[@justinlaser]

No one can convince me ALL of these diode lasers dont come from the same factory lol. All the brand websites have the same template, same photo style, etc.. etc..

[@jmwoodcraft7842]

Same goes for most woodworking machinery

[@EricRtheModFather]

I would love to get a laser but I have so many other things I need to get first. My parents are treating me to a trip to the UK for my birthday so even less money and time to spend on projects. Right now I am working on improving my stamina as with my muscle disorder I don't know how much I will get to see.

[@microponics2695]

lightburn isn't a one time payment. If you want updates you have to pay again after awhile.. But you can still use your un updated version and use it forever. But it puts up a nag screen every time you start it to update. Then it says the update is pay only.

[@grantpritchard7492]

I'm assuming there was at least some documentation included with these machines. Where does that documentation point you for issues/questions? Also what about any markings on the machines, do they point to a single place of contact?

[@wittworks]

Thank you for acknowledging that I am right. ❤🇸🇪

[@flyingman09101984]

The website part is troubling to say the least :D

[@oakfieldscreativeworkshop]

Another great video. I keep looking at diode lasers, but then keep reminding my self, I have a 100w co2 laser and the only reason I would want a diode would be to etch metal. So I then end up on the other thought train of you get what you pay for and I should get the big boy fibre laser. 💰💰💰💰💰

[@madcannon3162]

You can take a look at the DNS registration data available from both domains, and besides the registrar being different in both, one is obviously older than the other. Is the oldest the real one? Who knows.

[@SteveBellCreates]

Another top notch video Pierre and I love the maker box

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Thank you Steve!

[@StigBjork]

Hello. Wondering if you know of a product I saw on youtube. It's like a pillow (in this case it was blue) that's about a little smaller than a fist. They are used as spacers/protection when cutting something on your work table. I've looked in many places but haven't found any. You probably need about 20. As I understood, they do not damage the saw blade if you are sawing in a "pillow". Regards // hakan

[@derryoneill9484]

How is your air assist now? I found mine not to have any kind of filtration and the pumps got clogged within 30 days

[@steveferguson1232]

I would like to see you get ahold of an Ikier 36 watt. They say they are the high end of Atomstack. Both x any are linear rails and it seems very well built.

[@scalebuildings]

I'm pretty impressed that it can cut through the 3mm MDF - does it struggle or take a reasonable time please? I take 3 cuts on a 40W and would like to figure out this one's strength by comparison please. Thank you for a great vid!

[@DIYTechRepairs]

Is yours 40w laser or 40w total? My 40w laser burns through 3mm as its nothing on 1 cut. I did some 8mm the other day but that i did 4 runs so it didnt burn so much.

[@leppicknives9830]

Biltema CA glue is really great value for the money, i use it lot on my knife making and woodworking. Good stuff😊

[@Platttraining]

I think you an amazing creator and very honest. I had the same question about the company and I will purchase mine through Amazon. What do you recommend? I need speed for classroom projects. I only cut 3mm and 5mm plywood. I engrave anything that can engrave. Would X30 Pro be a be good classroom laser? I can handle the ventilation.

[@PSDAust]

does the ato,stack have auto air assist control for light burn? ive heard its only manual control

[@rafated1994]

Did you test the creality 22w laser? I want to buy one laser but haven't decide yet on which brand. There are so many!

[@markscreativeturnings]

Great video I really like your videos easy to follow and funny. Where do you buy you fancy knife. Cheers Mark

Sehr cooles Video und ein RIESEN Danke dafür XD Wie heisst die Seite mit den Speed und Power Settings für verschiedenne arbeiten ?

[@DIYTechRepairs]

What about Creality 40w? Have not tried many others but i gave 1kusd for it and it have worked pretty good so far.

[@mrowiec001]

Is it possible to engrave letters with a height of 0.2 mm on metal? Because I'm wondering if this laser is enough for me or if I need something bigger.ATOMSTACK X30

[@ArtursBondars]

Thanks, nice video and nice sponsor!

[@janlassen6101]

Saying you should not buy a Laser-Ingraver because the Laser might hurt you, is like saying don't buy Circular saw because it might cut your fingers of.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

No, its like saying dont buy a circular saw with a crappy balde shield.

[@janlassen6101]

@@TheSwedishMaker It's more like Not buying a Circular saw because the motor is too strong..... Men det där med att dom inte vet vad deras egen hemsida är, är helt galet.

[@neilsomerville6818]

I’m very new to this, in fact I didn’t know these existed. I’m just wondering, am I able to put any wood under this? Do I just set the height of the laser to suit the height of the wood?

[@CrisAnderson27]

Most any wood. They all have their quirks...walnut likes to char and catch fire as an example, but you can work around that (I've made beautiful pieces out of walnut even with that issue). There's a whole learning curve to using these though...and computer/graphic design skills are going to be critical for anything beyond engraving pictures or text onto wood shapes. That said, Lightburn (the main program available) isn't hard to get going in, and there's a number of resources for info on how to use it (including a dedicated forum and facebook group). Add to that that KZbin is no slouch in the resource department, and there's no reason not to try if you have general interest and the funding.

[@FougarouBe]

Hello :) Did you have the chance to test the Emblaser 2 (made by Darkly Labs, the editor of Lightburn) ? I am a bit surprised that you consider that about 1200 dollars is expensive when the Emblaser costs about 300 euros here for the 5W version and 3500 euros for the 10W version. (Without going into much details, I got the first version 5 years ago but had an issue because the delivery company dropped it on the ground and something broke later on when I could finally unpack it and use it only 1 year ago). I was happy with the results of this laser cutter. I am about to buy a new one but I am now a bit confused by all reviews I have seen on other brands because they are cheaper but nobody ever reviewed what I need: cutting very tiny little pieces in carton and paper for scale modeling at scale 1/320 ... Have a niec day ! :)

[@CrisAnderson27]

Not building an enclosure for any laser, much less a 30w laser...is just irresponsible. I mean, this is a cool, comprehensive video...but all it takes is one person walking in...or you forgetting glasses etc...and you've taken a chunk out of the lifespan of your eyesight. They're cheap, easy to build, and will save your eyes and lungs. Even coming close to recommending not using one to the 55k viewers of this video is just ridiculous.

[@kekeke1201]

Knowing how many Chinese companies work, your confusion might be explained by the assumption, that those are competing sales groups within the same company, all trying to keep the customer to themselves and maybe gain a bonus on sales.

[@alexscarbro796]

The answer: non of them are Atomstack….and they all are. They are likely all dealers and the core machine is made by a Chinese manufacturer that may have a presence in the Chinese market, but to market to the west, they probably created a brand that would better appeal to the west. Also, it probably absolves them of liability if you have an accident.

[@cheapskate8656]

In my experience, this is the way Ali works. All the sellers are mostly individuals with a business name. The sell products from one or more factories. They sort out exactly what you want and then the manufacturer ship it to them and then they ship it to you. So, they are all official agents for the factory. Since this may be the only way the factory sells its goods, they are all official. The problem is of course that the service is only as good as the individual and their relationship with the factory. Sometimes they are amazing, other times, not so hot.

[@mickeysrccrawl]

Would love to make stuff for my channels (instagram, TikTok and KZbin) but yes, the price is the disadvantage for it :-( but thanks for all honesty :-) greetings from Denmark

Very cool content, you are clearly talented and care about quality … so I think you should know there is something off in your audio settings that is hard to describe, like plosives but due to a setting, perhaps the gate or limiter cutting a frequency your voice uses. It’s consistent enough for you to easily hear and deal with

[@nour-eddineennmouri357]

You are top but please check your mic. Some mic filter are there missing.

Thanks! I realised after recording that it was a bit loudly recorded so I tried to solve but didnt really

China does not care about official websites😅, they only know how to sell as many units as possible. If you tell them, they will also agree upon your KZbin channel to be official Atomstack KZbin channel as well.

Soooo, the video title asks a question that you do not even mention in the video, much less answer. What kind of click-baity crap is that? While the video is well made and attempts to answer a whole other question about the legitmacy of certain websites, I came and watched specifically becasue of the question in the title because I am considering a 30w diode. Not cool.

[@GrantSR]

"I have a secret to tell you. But first let me pad out this video with lots of extraneous information that is already been repeated in a thousand other videos, well I intentionally don't include chapter markers so you just have to keep searching until you find the one spot where I actually talked about the secret." You want to get people to block your channel entirely? Because this is the way you get people to block your channel entirely.
