[@bogdan2893]

The cloth is a good ideea but it may leave some fine scratches on the surface. If you are engraving this kind of surface every day you should invest in a ultrasonic cleaning machine.

[@LaserEverything]

On my shopping list for sure.

[@johncloete9000]

Great stuff. Just got a 30w Fiber and having a play around. True what you say, have to gauge it or have an eye for detail - that way no errors (hopefully) Been doing promotional products for 15 years but needed to shift the business as companies are not spending all that much these days on gifts. So reaching out to the private sector is where we are headed.

Great looking!! I have a 50w JPT and im trying to do the same thing on brass, i get the the same look and everything but when im cleaning the black dust off around the engraved area the dust seems to get "stuck" inside the engraved area and gives it a "brown" area more than the white/natural brass color.. Some ideas there?

[@LaserEverything]

Try a cleaning pass when you're all done to use the laser to actually push the debris out. We go over it in our brass video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5raaqqZZ5Zjf80

Do you find that wiping with a dry cloth leaves micro scratches? I engrave at a jewelry store and I always use a steamer to steam off the metal dust before polishing for that reason.

Hi Alex, I’m interested in this type of engraving for precious metals. Would you mind if I asked how much you would have charged your customer for this service? I understand that if you weren’t doing a educational clip at the same time you would finish it off a lot quicker but I’d like to calculate if the investment in a fiber laser is worthwhile compared to hand engraving using gravers. Thanks

[@LaserEverything]

I charged $45 - $50 for this I think, it's been a while but that's how I'd price it now. Not recording an episode for the show I'd have this done in about 15 minutes, if that helps.

Do we need air-conditioning for a 50W JPT Lazer marking machine?

Hi nice video and valuable information! Can you tell me please what camera are you using for the closeups ? I m trying to set up a camera to be able to see more clearely the reading light for better centering of the object. But the cam i use tends to enhace the red light to much and loose clarity. But i can see that in your video the image looks sharp, so it would be nice to know what specification does your camera have. Thanks.

I bought a laser engraver to engrave a gold plated necklace and it won’t even make a dent in it . I did some research and I think I figured out that the engraver I bought didn’t have enough laser power for the material I was looking to use it on 🤦🏾‍♀️. Do you have a recommendation for what amount of laser power I should be looking for when buying a laser engraver based on the material I’m looking to engrave (highly reflective gold plated 316l stainless steel) ?

Is there another program which I can use instead of Adobe?

[@netinfluencer]

I like your videos. I am thinking of buying a Laser called SCULPFUN S9 Laser because I can not afford such a nice laser as you have. Do you think that this 90w laser can do as good a job as yours. Can you perhaps explain the difference?

[@LaserEverything]

90w is a LOT of power, what do you want such a high power laser for? The difference between manufacturers is stark. Buying a high quality laser is important in this industry. Wiring quality, fiber optics quality are two big areas where you see a big difference between higher end machines and the cheap ones. You also get more reliable power supply units and with the super cheap lasers you often get knock off laser sources which is the box generating the laser. There's a very long list of reasons why you should spend more. Save for more time if you can and put some extra money away, then make your purchase. Not only are super cheap fibers unreliable, they can be dangerous with melted wires and fiber optics. Be careful!

Just the laser is all you need. Not sure if it's worth the expense and facing the learning curve to just do one thing. Depends on how much volume you do. If you're low volume may make more sense to send it out but you know the answer to that question best.

When used correctly rotary tools are awesome add ons for any laser machine. The learning curve is steep but absolutely doable if the user is persistant and has patience.

F-160 I believe, the 110*110mm I find suitable for **most projects.

Also looking at lasers - 30w or 50w? Why 50w (What's the purpose?)

These days I'd recommend a 50w to most people. They get the same work done in a much shorter amount of time and are only marginally more expensive.

Same setting, many passes. You can go fast and rough, or slow and smooth. If you want smooth finishes you have to go slow and shave off layer by layer.

[@ITD_RO]

As I can see there is a cross hatch in the engraving process.. But when you show your hatch settings cross hatch or auto rotate aren't checked.. Can you please tell me the correct and complete hatch settings? Thank you in advance!

[@LaserEverything]

Rather than using a cross hatch I used the second hatch with an opposite hatch angle. Cross hatch is fine too, however you want to do it.

[@ITD_RO]

Thanks for the clarification. Your final hatch looks really good. One of my friends bought a 50W laser machine and after 3 months of playing with it we cannot get a nice looking hatch on gold. On silver looks ok but on gold far from what it should be. The only way to get a clean filled text on gold is to import the text in ezcad like a picture and engrave it like that (with the settings used for photos). It looks good and it takes even less time. Photos look ok either on gold or silver.. the problem is that as far as I know you cannot engrave photos/pictures using the rotary tool. So for inner and outer ring engraving the only solution is to use hatch. What I did and looked nice was only to engrave the text contour after applying an 0.05mm offset 3 or 4 times, so you get a thicker contour.

[@DzoanDuong]

I use terrabloom exhausts, they're linked in the 2021 buying guide in the description :)

[@mujeeb787]

Can you please tell me about wastage of gold dust during this process? Thanks for the good video

[@LaserEverything]

I'm not a jeweler so I don't have specifics but a lot of guys will get a basic fume extractor and ONLY use it when they're working on gold projects. Every couple months you can empty it and reclaim the gold dust for repurposing.

[@scottdeaussie]

I’m a jeweller and I’d be inclined to weigh the piece before and after engraving and see how much metal is actually removed by the process. Once you know how much (or how little) you can extrapolate knowing how much precious metal engraving you actually do per week/year and from that you can calculate the return versus the cost of specialised extraction system/filters and refining of the metals. I usually only refine my lemel (scrap metal filings) once a year and it’s worth saving but I don’t know if it’s removed from the original piece as a vapour or as small molten pieces? I’m very interested in finding out myself!

In ezcad, you can do this a few ways. Like we did, can outline with the border box removed in software so only name is selected, or using mark select and only selecting the name and not the border box and framing. In lightburn, there are several framing options within the frame menu which can output a general square frame, tight exterior outline, or a more detailed shape of the components of a design, also adding in you can use the cut selected graphics as a equal use case to the mark select in ezcad, functioning the same way. Hope that helps!

A 30w or 50w fiber laser will do just fine. You don't need anything with fancy frequency modulation because silver isn't ferrous so no need for a MOPA or anything like that. If you're only planning on working with silver a basic Raycus cloudray laser like the one in the Amazon link in the description will do just fine.

Gold plating not really, depends on the core metal because you're going to blast through the plating looking at it the wrong way. Solid gold a little more likely. In reality it's a dark brown, just need to slooooooow your pass down. Takes a little trial and error.

Usually a pass of something like steel white finish (fast and medium power, medium frequency) will flatten it out a little after you reach the required depth, it's not perfect but it helps. You can also go in and straight up polish the engraving. If you go deep enough before polishing it won't remove the engraving, I'm not a jeweler though and there are probably better resources for that info out there :'D

I don't even own a legit copy of it lol I will try to prioritize this and work on it for you though. Most vector editing software works more or less the same the buttons just have different names. Have you watched my episode on artwork for engravers?

It's not exactly what you asked for but it should at least help get you started. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp6ZoYqKrKmShLs

There's a new video out on setting up your system for the first time which you may find helpful. Could cover things you haven't uncovered for yourself yet.

I do not have a laser but I have a question before I decide to buy one: Is there any depth or is it just a surface color manipulation? I heard about laser deep engraving. It is real engraving or just a kinda printing on the surface? Sorry for my newbie question.

[@LaserEverything]

Depends on the laser that you get and what materials you're working on, what did you want to be able to do deep Engraving on?

@@LaserEverything Hi. Thank you for the fast reply.I want to engrave silver, brass, aluminum. Maybe gold in the future.

[@LaserEverything]

Any fiber laser would be able to engrave those deeply :) You are not restricted to surface marks when using a fiber laser. For info on which one you should buy check out my 2021 buying guide link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2jXnKGLntR_rbs Lower wattage machines may take longer to achieve a super deep depth, but all of these lasers will be removing material from an item, not just marking the surface (with the exception of plastics, of course - this machine is for metals). Also feel free to join the discord (link in the description) with any other questions you may have. -Alex
