Beast mode- The new Atomstack X40

[@Chucka1463]

I got the x40 Max on Christmas Eve because my xTool D1 failed. This machine is a monster and seems far superior to the xTool product.

[@TheClackShack]

I have had good luck with Atomstack machines. My 4th one..

Hi David, Now that you have had it for a while I was wondering how you like it and has it been preforming well in your shop? Enjoy your videos...Thanks,

[@TheClackShack]

Still great, I use it every week.

[@MattHaughtNJ]

Mine arrived on the 23rd. But haven't had time to set it up. Still using the A5pro with an M100 laser

[@TheClackShack]

Get it done…. Lol

[@Findingwonder365]

Mine arrives in a few days, great review!

[@TheClackShack]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@warrenkaye8679]

Hi I love your videos thank you. I am looking at the atomstaack x40 Max for some projects i will be doing and wondering if you have been using yours and still working as expected? thank you!

[@TheClackShack]

I use it weekly, still working great.

[@nathanwolf5547]

Another great video.

[@TheClackShack]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@reedrobb]

Excellent, you sold me. However, the A70 is coming out. Should I start there?

[@TheClackShack]

The 70 watt may be a good machine but I haven't got my hands on it yet. It also comes in an 850x850 but that is too much laser bed for me. I got the 500x500 coming.

[@reedrobb]

Mine just arrived today! This set up instruction leaves something to be desired. Hopefully you’re putting out a tutorial. 😉

[@TheClackShack]

@@reedrobb It wasn't that bad. I think I had a bit of a how to on it in one of the videos.

[@OldAlastair]

Mine comes next week sometime. (Alastair Creavy)Great Video

[@TheClackShack]

Good choice!

Hi David, I got this beast the other day and man this one is a game changer. I was able to cut 1/2" (single pass) and 3/4" (2 passes) Baltic birch plywood so now the possibilities are once again endless. I am thinking dovetail drawers and small cabinets. I do have a question if you don't mind, did you set the air assist to M8 or M7 like the manual says. When I try to set to M7 I get some GRBL warning, and I am not bold enough to click yes so, I am trying to find out do I use M7 as the manual shows or M8 for the air assist? What did you set yours to in Lightburn? Thanks.

[@TheClackShack]

Mine is set to M8.

How do you feel the x40 compares to the lasermatic? I know the lasermatic is the better built machine, and better supported, but what about in terms of actual cutting and engraving performance? I can get the x40 pro (non max) with rotary for less than the 30 watt lasermatic without rotary. I have this crazy idea to use an old green mountain pellet grill I have to make an all metal enclosure. It’s the perfect size with a nice tall door opening, with enough depth to even possible build an adjustable table. So I don’t really need the lasermatic for the enclosure. Also considering the Acmer p2 33w

[@TheClackShack]

The Mk2 is a 30 watt but for most jobs, its only downside is the work area.

[@markkendall7371]

How did you get past how bad the head sags when trying to set the focal distance? I've been fighting mine for a month and couldn't even come close today when trying to engrave some pencils...this machine sucks. Upgraded from Atomstack 5.5w to the x40 max and been hating life since I spent $1300!

[@TheClackShack]

I have not seen any sag in the machine I have. You may wanna make sure everything is assembled correctly.

[@markkendall7371]

@TheClackShack oh I've had the head off multiple times and made sure all the bolts on the x were tight but still sags...also when I grab the head there's up and down movement that I can't find the source of 🤬

[@garyunderwood3395]

Interesting, currently have an Ortur LM3 4 months old and having an issue with what I believe is the Y axis motor. Unfortunatly Ortur support is completely non responsive so I'm looking for another brand that supports their products. It would appear that Atomstack does, would you agree? Thanks

[@TheClackShack]

I haven’t had any issues with Atomstack but others experiences may differ. I haven’t had to get technical help on many machines.

[@garyunderwood3395]

Thank you for your opinion

[@peasheller]

Does the X40 Max have Lightburn Z-axis control? It doesn't seem the z-axis is motorized.

[@TheClackShack]

No, it doesn't.

[@djs7515]

How does this compare to the S1 in cutting ability, like what speed can they cut 3mm basswood

[@TheClackShack]

It is a tight race... It wins hands down on work area.
