Great video, thanks! In most British English dialects "zed" rhymes with Jed, Fred and Bed.

The first test with aluminum I was like "yeah, my 2.5W laser does it" and then you showed the cutting

Fiber lasers are truly in a class of their own :) I work with them constantly and I still get amazed every time.

@@JTMakesIt I wonder how well the tree lasers do (10 6w diodes in a trench coat) If they have similar cutting performance (with obviously slower speed than with a galvo) it may be a great alternative if you don't care about speed and already have a gantry.

@@satibel You mean blue laser diodes? Completely different use case. They can't engrave metals. They are great for cutting wood and acrylic, and can engrave stainless steel or anodized aluminum,. but can't touch brass, copper, zinc, chrome or raw aluminum... I have tested 70W Atomstack blue diode laser recently. You can check out my video.

@@JTMakesIt I watched it, but looking like it can cut stainless with enough patience, so why can't it cut/engrave brass? Dot size and/or wavelength? do you have a video showing what it can't do? (E.g. stone/brass/raw aluminum etc...)

@@satibel It is the wavelength thing. You can't get around physics. You could get a bit of explanation in some of my older videos, but if you want more scientific explanation you should search the web, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ2uZamXn9GGd8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2a3fqejmtVseNE

great video, what are your thoughts of power supply / laser source under the worktable? is this not an area susceptible to dust which may cause longer term issues? I like the look of these machines but it sort of puts me off having the techie gear under the work surface..

Very impressive., If you are a keen hobbyist with deep pockets then go for it, otherwise I feel it only worthwhile for business use where you can justify the cost. Also , unless after service is good I wouldn't bother.

I love the advanced autofocus feature-it's saves me so much time! Plus, the collapsible column makes it super easy to transport to different locations. I've tested a range of materials, and the results are consistently impressive. I love it!

@@LaserHuset Your channel has no reviews, how should I know that you will make good review? Not trying to criticize, but you should first establish some credibility on your own, then you can expect to do some business with others. I was posting videos for years, before I got my first sponsor.

@@JTMakesIt That is a fair point, I suppose I should have left the old reviews up until I got going with lasers, and constructive criticism is always welcome To clarify I am trying to get my hands on something to review, not a sponsor, I'll happily pay shipping costs, rental fee, or anything else required including returning the machine when I'm done Unfortunately I am not in a situation where I can afford to buy multiple machines for review and I can't make a proper review within the two weeks return window (and if I could doing that would not be fair to the company I buy from), hence why I figured I would ask you seeing as you were somewhat local on the global scale
