Hey man! I was getting crazy trying to engrave stainless steel... now I think I got it because of your video!! Thank you very much!!! you earn a new follower from Madrid, Spain ;)

[@crowhurd]

Thank you for being a real person. I’m subscribing to your channel and will prob give LONGER a try. The 3D printer arm of the company also had me intrigued. I just may go all in. Thank you thank you!

Great review Chris, love that they included their touchscreen on this makes it super convenient.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks Chad 🙏

[@brendaboyce9967]

Not a bad price. Thanks for the review Chris.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thank you

[@Shawnbbeckner]

Great review dude nice job 👊

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks Shawn

[@michaelcordova8432]

Thank you for this. Does this work on sterling silver sheet metal?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I don’t think so. You would probably need an IR or fiber laser.

[@19134ANDY]

Hello, Thanks for the Videos and your time. Is there anyway you could make a video on how to update firmware on a longer ray 5 Can’t find anyone who has done a firmware update. Ty

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks. I’ll have to look into that. I didn’t k ow there was an update. I’ll see what I can do for you.

[@sebastiangaticasivula832]

will this work on brass, copper and silver? thinking of using it for zippo lighters.

[@hiddencriminals]

How did it go?

[@dawnsain6878]

Can you engrave on cork or cork wine stoppers with this machine?

[@SenZationalDesignsCreations]

I am doing my first test and nothing is coming out its just goint back and forth but nothing is actually engraving. Any clue why? I have the test wood piece under and 3000 speed with 90% power.

[@donaldsmith4196]

Is the longer laser engraver still working

[@ginnygauthier2139]

Hey Chris! Would you happen to know if there is a rotary attachment for this machine? Like for engraving tumblers and cups, etc...

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

They don’t make one, but I would expect any of them to work with the right connection. The new one for the xTool comes with multiple connectors to work on a variety of machines. I’ll have to give it a try.

[@deanmiller294]

I emailed Longer the same question but haven’t heard back yet. Would like to use my laser with pen blanks and and coffee mugs.

[@20mancave08]

Will it engrave thicker items like cutting boards? I noticed you only showed it with very thin material.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Yea the thickness of the material doesn’t matter for engraving. You might need to raise the machine up if it’s something really thick, but it’s no problem.

[@Showbiz559]

Great video, have you tried cutting acrylic?

[@johnb6014]

Can't cut clear or blue or white acrylic with diode

[@djr3008]

What is the thickest this would cut? I am burned out trying to figure the right laser for me. I need a laser that will cut up to 1/4 inch, that will allow me to use my own drawings and designs.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Have you looked at the new Ortur? It will cut 1/4” plywood no problem. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ2zhaumjd2onsk

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

The 10 watt model is said to cut 20 mm plywood that 787 thousands a little over 3/4 of an inch 750 thou) my new one is at the UPS facility 🤯 waiting to be delivered.
