What kind of Depth can you achieve on anodized aluminum engraving?

[@JTMakesIt]

@@10MillKing it can remove coating, it can't engrave bare aluminum underneath. So it can achieve the depth of the coating thickness

[@TheDeerInn]

I'll be getting one soon.

You have got a cutting beast with that machine! I love the autofocus and the 10mm black acrylic looks like a good cut but the 44mm wood... oh, wow, not much burning, very good!

[@agv1025]

Do you have the test cards for sale for this machine? I have the A70 Max and am having a bit of a time getting it dialed in, I don't seem to be getting the same results that you have. Thanks.

[@Micke-bh2zr]

Considering the problems at ~7.30. My machine had loose screws for the z-axis bearing at delivery, maybe that could be the problem in your case?

[@JTMakesIt]

@@Micke-bh2zr that could be it, I will check it out. Thanks!

This is crazy how far diodes have come. Might be time I go back to diode ever since I sold my x7 pro 10w. Diodes are so much less fuss to use. But need this price to drop. Way more expensive than a refurbished omtech polar

[@malcolmturton9779]

It makes me wonder just how much further they can go with power on these diode lasers. It would certainly need an enclosure. Congratulations to the winner of the WeCreat.

[@JTMakesIt]

They can definitely go further, but I agree, enclosure will be needed.

[@BurntUpCustom]

Setting up my a70 max.

[@gusgand]

can it cut 3mm thick white and clear acrylic?

[@JTMakesIt]

No. Diode lasers are not good for these two colors of acrylic

[@EtchinAaronslaserworkshop]

Would love to test drive one out I had to go back to a 10watt from a 20watt cause of getting it stolen out of my front seat

[@JTMakesIt]

@@EtchinAaronslaserworkshop that's a bummer 😕

[@EtchinAaronslaserworkshop]

@JTMakesIt thing is crackheads an honestly probably has no idea what it was just they knew an sew it was expensive an still makes me wanna pack up annquit but guess 10 is better then zero so 🤷

[@EtchinAaronslaserworkshop]

@JTMakesIt just 20watt plus opens up so many more ideas an accomplishments I lost a client that I used to do stuff for because could not cut projects fast enough with the 10 I'm using so that crackhead ended up costing me that an suxs was a good client

[@EtchinAaronslaserworkshop]

@JTMakesIt took me awhile to save up for that beast for some low life to steal it but anyways still goto my office an try an just do what I can with my 10 an keep pluggin along designing creating

[@MrWisselwessel]

I'm new to the game and using your videos to determine which one to buy. Currently i'm focussed on the Sculpfun S30 ultra 33w as it is a nice allround entry level machine. This one looks very nice but price goes up a bit. Why would it need an enclosure though?

[@JTMakesIt]

Good choice. Enclosure helps to retain the smoke an odors and vent them controllably out through a hose. Without enclosure your room will fill with smoke when cutting if it is not well ventilated.

i have both machines and mainly cutting 3mm plywood...both are super for the work,but I will but a diode because that burn leaves on pattern and on side makes a lot of mess...i m happy with the machines,only the burn gets me on my nervs

[@ChrisMahoney-u1v]

I want to love this laser... but it is so hard to get working well. I have a A70 max, a roly, and originally a xttool d1 pro. I cannot get the A70 max square. it is off by .25 inches. I also cannot get the x axis gantry to be square. it is off by about the same. I am getting quite frustrated. When working fine, this machine is amazing.

[@JTMakesIt]

Strange. That must be a manufacturing defect. Mine is dead straight

[@chrismahoney5692]

@@JTMakesItatomstack claimed it was my belt tension. But the gantry still is off and is not square. Very frustrating. Not sure what they will do

[@bilbaros]

Hello. I am Bülent KÖSE. I am a technical teacher living in Turkey, I have been following this machine for a long time. I came across your video. I really liked your presentation. As a Furniture and Interior Design Field Teacher, I want to use it in my classes. Can you help me buy and get a discount? Thank you from now. I wish you success in your work.🤔

[@3SIfan86]

$1700! Wow these diodes are getting real expensive fast!

[@JTMakesIt]

Agree, but the quality and power is also going up exponentially!

[@3SIfan86]

@@JTMakesIt it certainly has a lot of great features. Thanks for providing these tests!

[@swishpan]

So still not as fast as a 55w co2 laser?

[@JTMakesIt]

@@swishpan movement speed is a bit slower because the head is heavier
