How to power up this laser what to do to see a small laser dot and see where it will start tu cut, like you did in a video

In the software, you hold shift and then do frame

Hi.. do you think it would be possible to add an S9 Laser to a cheap Laser Master 2 ? because at the end of the day the only thing i am looking for is a super good laser... and when it comes to the frame its not a very big difference between Laster Master 2 and Laser Master 2 pro, so buying the cheaper Laser Master could be a great thing i think...

[@TimberWood.Customs]

Yes you can buy just the S9 laser head and added to the laser master 2

[@TimberWood.Customs]

However yes there is a big difference between the master two and the master to pro. The pro comes with safety features that you definitely need when using a laser. It’s worth the money

[@TimberWood.Customs]

This laser may work for you. I would recommend the ortur laser master two pro over this machine. You can get an enclosure which I would definitely recommend to help with ventilation. All I have to say is definitely do a lot of research on the laser that you were going to get and watch lots of videos on how to use it. Then once you get your laser it will make it a lot easier to use it instead of just going in to it blind. Machines like this take lots of testing to know what settings to cut different materials at and engraving. Again do lots of research on the machine you think you’re going to buy before you actually buy it. Again I like the ortur laser master two pro I have a video on that and it is a really safe laser as it has lots of safety features.

Hi ,, there is a issue with the laser .. look carefully at around 5.35. You will notice that the cut in horizontal plane is much thinner (actually half) than the cuts in the vertical plane. This is because the claimed square beam pattern is nowhere near square and more a rectangle. This means cuts in the vertical planes need twice as many cuts as the horizontal. A bit of an annoyance.

I definitely run things longer than 10 min so you should be fine. There isnt(that I’ve encountered) a max time limit to run it. And for the cutting of hardboard. I have never tried that and not sure what it is so you’d just have to get a sample piece and do test cuts on it

Thanks so much for the video. I have a question on the honeycomb working table. what size should I purchase to fit under the this unit. I want to make sure that I purchase the correct size for my new toy. Thanks again

[@TimberWood.Customs]

I would say the size of the work area of the machine so everything can be level

Hi would you recommend this or ortur laser master 2 pro s2?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

I would recommend a ortur laser master to pro over this due to the safety features it has. However you can always purchase just the S9 laser head and attach that to the ortur laser master to machine body which allows you to still keep those safety features.

[@roby7915]

@@TimberWood.Customs Thanks I meant just in terms of performance if the ortur or the s9?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

@@roby7915 Well if you want to cut really deep things definitely go for the S9 but if you just plan on cutting normal thin plywood than the ortur will do just fine.

Hello dear yesterday I arrived at S9, I wanted to ask you what is the maximum speed, because the manufacturer tells me 3000 but you recorded at 4000, and then I noticed that making an engraving with the same parameters between S9 and ortur laser master 2 pro S with laser Ortur LU2-4 LF Laser Module 24V/2A the 2 pro is more accurate, have you noticed this difference too?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

The knly reason it is more accurate is because the S9 needs to be attached to a base to make sure it doesn’t shake. The S9 is really focused on the cutting, it can of course engrave just fine like most lasers but the best feature about it is the cutting

[@harryragland7840]

The "Light Wood" is probably Bass wood. It is denser than Balsa but is light colored, usually clear grained and easy to carve. It grows throughout most of the eastern united states.

Hi, would this cut 3mm mdf and how long would it take to cut out a 10x10cm square for a rough idea of how long it takes?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

Yes I can cut 3mm mdf, not sure how long it would take as you have to test different settings. Maybe 4 passes at 300mm/min

[@RR-zw9jn]

Thanks! Wasn't sure whether to purchase or not but this helps.

Hallo ich würde gern die Einstellungen erfahren wie man etwas aus lasert . Und ich habe ein Problem ... Wenn ich 300mm Länge eingebe nimmt die Lasermaschine eine ganz andere Länge als 300mm. Was kann ich tun das das läserbild genau so gross wird wie gewünscht? Oder muss ich etwas umrechnen?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

I don’t quite understand what you mean about the image thing. And for the 300 mm just make sure you home in the machine every time. I do mention in the video the settings I use for lasering out something in a certain thickness of material

Merci beaucoup pour le super travail que vous faites ! Vos vidéos sont très i structure. Savez-vous si l’on peut couper du médium de 8 mm avec la Ortur ?

[@philoara5647]

@@TimberWood.Customs Thank you very much from France !

[@Fujcake]

Is this powerful enough to cut clear acrylic?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

Yes depending on how thick it is. But you will need to put something black underneath it so that it doesn’t reflect off of the clearness of the acrylic. You will have to do some testing before you’ll be successful

[@Fujcake]

Thank you!! Will definitely be trialling this

[@tekmason7736]

Cutting clear acrylic is not possible with a laser that runs in the visible light spectrum no matter how powerful it is. The light will just pass through the material. Putting something black underneath the material or on the surface will allow you to etch it at the surface where the light does not pass through (and there is heat).

Hi can you recommend settings for 2mm acrylic?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

Probably three passes at 250 mm/min.. Honestly you just have to test it out for your laser head. Everybody uses different settings

[@bruinflight]

Besides lifting the project wood off the table, is there any other way to reduce the collateral burn around the edges of the material? Maybe lower power with more passes and a layer of painters tape along the cut areas?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

The more passes u add the more burning even if it’s lower power. And yes u can put painters tape but if u do something that has detail you’ll have to pull out every little piece of tape or if you need to cut then engrave then u risk messing up the engraving. You can also get an air assist that helps with blowing the smoke away to prevent burning

[@amibitan9664]

Would you consider making a video about S9 vs S6 pro?

[@TimberWood.Customs]

Yes!

[@aaronanthonymoat]

I have the S6 Pro and what a machine. I have built an enclosure for mine with extraction and air assist. Just a tip. If you take out the green protective shield, you will find a metal piece with 4 holes. Remove this and stick (will superglue) it on the end of the green plastic and insert it back in. You will only need to clean the lens half as much. I found the green cylinder trapped the smoke and made the lens. Hope this helps you.

Yepp the darker acrylics absorb more of the light, from what I've read This one can't cut clear acrylic, so if it's light pink it probably can't cut it either
