Mastering Your Laser Engraving Machine's Rotary Attachment: A Comprehensive Training Guide

[@jimeldemire9247]

thanks Mike i finally understand why and how much it rotates in relation to where i place my art. Game changer and u lifted the fog

I've had my laser for over 4 years and haven't known I can do this much until today, thanks Mike!

Thank you for this Mike.

Our rotary stops mid engraving and just engraves a line. Is there a way to fix it?

[@weekendturner]

Very helpful, thank you. I'm trying to etch a continuous spiral pattern on a cylinder, so that it wraps the circumference more than once. I put the linear pattern on an angle to get the sprial effect, but I can't seem how to convince the software that my circumference is larger, since the cone-drivers rotate by degrees off center. Any help appreciated. If my description is hard to follow, think of it as a barber-pole effect.

Nice

Nice video 👍 If you are engraving a conical object (with angled rotary-attachement) - which object-diameter do you input? smaller one? bigger one? or the diameter in the middle of your laserjob?

[@TrotecLaserCanada]

Use the middle. I would measure the circumference and than work it back to the diameter by dividing it y pi or 3.14. I would keep the logo as small as I could to stop distortion - Mike Clarke

Watch 9:24 - 10:03 in video. :>

I couldn't find a single vid about using this rotary tool cutting acrylic tubes.

Rotary doesn't cut only engraves
