DIY Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine | Part 4: X-axis & Z-axis

[@Skyfirelaser]

Those corner brackets and machining details make the machine look solid and well-built. It’s compact, sturdy, and has a clean look-really nice setup. And your workshop has everything you could need, with all kinds of tools. Great work!

[@zakariakhamees]

With all the tools you have in your shop, I'm excited to see what you'll cook up for future projects!

[@TAMARbarCNC]

Love it! keep going!

[@dcmotive]

Hey Travis, have you ever considered using an electric screw driver such as the Dewalt gyroscope screwdriver (model number: DCF680N2)? This one even has a built in clutch to ensure you tighten down the screws at a consistent torque. Could save you hours with all of those screws!

[@diyfiberlaser]

Thanks! I will check out that model. I was interested and researched them before, but I read so many conflicting reviews that I couldn’t decide which one to get, so I just never got one 😟

[@HudsonMakes]

@ I’ve had mine for the last 5 years and it was worth every penny. Never broken on me (even after dropping it more times than I can count). Plus it has a built in light! Anyway, keep up the great work, can’t wait to see more of this project!

[@jesseservice7828]

Ótimo !

[@soniclab-cnc]

Loving the new build... my only gripe is the episodes could be longer.... lol

[@diyfiberlaser]

Totally understand, that’s the downside to me accepting multiple sponsorships…it makes me have to break up the videos in a way to promote the different sponsors. I have the next 3 videos ready to go and I will try to get them out asap.

[@jeffkeen6943]

I love the fact that you have such a wonderful workshop...but you still go outside to cut the linear rails with an angle grinder and a sleeper...🙂

[@diyfiberlaser]

I'm out of space 😅I need another room for my woodworking and grinding tools, somewhere I can make a mess!

[@okieaero838]

I would have the machine shop put the thread in while they're making it. I mean, if you're having someone else make the parts, why wouldn't you? Unless you have a tap arm available 😮 I like your videos by the way 😊

[@diyfiberlaser]

Totally agree…I will provide the drawing for tapping if anyone wants to order them that way, I’m just enjoying using the tapping arm 😁

[@Basement_CNC]

Price...it's easy to do yourself and will save a few bucks if budget is a concern

[@techbuild5514]

Kindly, what's the model of the tapping machine, and where can I get it?

Joining the question

[@elianamunoz8517]

Can your fiber laser cut through wood? If yes, how thick can it cut?

[@diyfiberlaser]

Never tried it...I have a C02 laser for that.

[@TAMARbarCNC]

Can't cut wood, the capacitance sensor of the laser head can't recognize the material.

[@diyfiberlaser]

@@TAMARbarCNC I've seen a couple videos of people doing it, but apparently you have to disable the height sensor and manually set the height. I noticed a button in the Raytools software to disable it, but I've not tested it yet.

[@TAMARbarCNC]

@diyfiberlaser I tried to cut wood once but didn't seccided haha.
