How to Make a Laser Mount

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Yes, the camera has some additional movement. It appears to be trying to focus. That has not happened before. I am hoping that the camera is not dying. That would not be a good thing. I can’t replace it. Thank you for understanding.

I just join your channel a week or so ago. I really enjoy it. I got an X-Crave 1-19-19. I stated playing with it. Then 3-30-19 wife had a heart attack later that day I had a stroke. L am trying to got back to working the X-Crave. Your videos are saving me so much time on learning it. Thank you so much.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much and I hope that you and your wife are doing well. It's great that you are back learning the XCarve and I am very happy to be a small part of helping you to that end.

Great tip on combined shapes. Thank you, didn't know you could do that.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Great! I'm glad that this tip helped you. It is a very valuable tool.

Thank you very much.

Wonder if a bubble level would enhance the laser mount?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Not sure why I would need a bubble level for the laser mount???

[@MFunkibut]

@@PawPawsWorkShop So you're sure the laser is pointed straight down and is not askew???? Evan slightly?

[@onelegoutdoors-477]

That’s an awesome work around for the laser. I was wondering what everyone was doing to mount their lasers but you answered it with the best option.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much.

Excellent video! I intend to do something similar.. Hopefully soon, I will be getting a Sainsmart Proverxl 4030. I intend to make a custom dust boot where the hose is attached to the spindle and held in place with magnets. Then, I will make a separate attachment for the laser head also held on by magnets. The goal will be to switch between the two easily and quickly. Thanks!

[@williammitchell9300]

Did you line the laser up on the x axes for the starting point

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The green dot in the center of the drawing is the start point. I prefer this spot for most of my projects. I also manually set the home position on my projects.

@@PawPawsWorkShop Ok Thank you very much

[@johndiego3105]

Wonder if I can do that for the foxalien 4040xe. It would eliminate a bunch of tedious work 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Yes, you can add a laser to the FOXAlien 4040xe

[@michaeljensen7146]

where have you purhased your laser best regards michael from denmark :)

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The laser is from JTechphontics. I have a link to their website in the description. Thank you you very much.

Great vid as usual but why is the camera moving back and forth? Is it trying to focus?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

I'm not sure. I hope my camera is not going crazy and breaks.

[@dexterbutler9735]

Great video! If you had to buy a new cnc machine. Would you buy another xcarve or something else? I'm wanting to buy one. But looks like the shapeoko xxl may be better.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

That's an interesting question. I most likely would go with cnc4newbie New-Carve. Price point is similar and has no v wheels and no belts. It appears to be much stronger. Thank you for the question.

[@dexterbutler9735]

@@PawPawsWorkShop thanks for the feedback. I will have to look at that.

[@manwithapan9481]
