Good video. For the price, some of the big laser companies in China like Gweike can provide machines like LG6040N or similar with premium brand components like RECI or Yongli tubes, S&A chillers, auto-focus, electronic z-axis lift etc at about the same price (including freight). Lasermen is a little cheaper, but provides all the same brand components as well as hybrid servo motors. Both companies have been building lasers for a long time and have a full lineup of industrial lasers. For the price, seems like the Monport is lacking premium features - they are kind of like Xtool - everything is an addon and extra - and those things add up fast.

I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOU NEGLECTING THE KEYSTONE GIRL AND LEAVING HER OUT OF THESE VIDEOS!!! LOL, just kidding.....damn man, youre moving up in the world. New farm, new machines....I LOVE IT!! Keep up the videos, I keep coming back! See ya brother. 👋🏻

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Haha. I know i know. Shes always busy with the kids. Its hard to get the timing right so i can steal her away for a bit. Ya im trying to get everything situated but its starting to come together. Been a lot of hard work. Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Idea for ya, can you build a shelf on the side of the laser so the chiller will ride along anytime you move the laser?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Possibly, but it will block the exhaust vent. Id like to keep it on the left side. Once i get the shop set up ill try ro find a better way. Good idea though.

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

works fine on my MAC using usb and lightburn.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

These things are very cool!!

[@joshuacaylor881]

Brother!! You got a CO2 laser?!? So happy for you man. Slowly upgrading your business capabilities

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks! Its a pretty impressive laser.

[@AdamsReviews]

I am assuming this does not use wifi? Do you know if you can make it work over wifi with some sort of add on?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Im not sure on that one. It uses a ruida controller. Could properly look into options for that controller.

[@boblynn1881]

This is a very impressive engraver.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Ya it really is. Powerful and quick. Hope everything is good with you Bob. Are you getting prepared for fall cleanup?

[@boblynn1881]

I am ready for winter and I am hoping we get a lot of snow. Last year before winter we bought a new snow dogg snow plower for my truck and we didn't get any snow. to plow. I want to try it out. I used to have to go out and sit on that tractor for hours. By the way my tractor does not have a cab. LET IT SNOW!!!

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

@@boblynn1881 thats pretty brutal jn the winter with no can. Hopefully you get to try that new plow out.

[@user-ol3oj3cp1q]

Just purchased this machine. It should be in by next week. After watching your video, I can't wait! Super excited.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Awesome! Congrats on your purchase. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

[@user-ol3oj3cp1q]

Thanks, can't wait to watch more of your videos on this machine@@SpicerDesignsLLC

[@jeannechesterfield698]

Thank you for sharing! After a month or so how are you liking it? My glowforge is a paper weight right now and thinking about this one.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I like it. Its a pretty cool laser. I dont use it a whole lot but i plan on using it more this winter. I just posted a new video with it this morning.

[@RBallarddesigns]

With the in-line fan, everyone says you are going to want to remove the internal fan. They will fight each other

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Good point. The inline fan is way more powerful too. If anything, the built in fan is probably restricting. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@RBallarddesigns]

@@SpicerDesignsLLC Monport and Omtech are basically the same machine. There are lots of videos on the Omtech about upgrades.

[@accordxtc319]

Not sure if this would help but they do make a USB to ethernet adapter that allows you yo go over greater lengths. Maybe you could do that for your machines and then into a USB hub to the laptop. Ive been using one for almost a year without any issues, plus doesnt need power and inexpensive off Amazon about 15. Great video as always, thanks for the laughs 😂

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks! Ill check into that. I have to work out some kinks with the connection issues.

[@davidmitchell5552]

On stainless steel I use Molly spray for engraving

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks for the info. Ill check into that

Sorry it's called Dry Moly Lube

Monport, with six months left on my warranty they are giving the run around. The first thing that broke were the cheap hinges they put on the door. Ok i replaced those with no complaint, then the key swicth, ok they replaced that on my first year, then auto z probe did not stop on automatic z0 setting, then the laser power supply burned up a couple of transistors, then they send the wrong probe and said they will replace it. But as of yet nothing. Every time i send an email i get a different person, (The Run Around) No probe nor laser power supply yet. I have talked to several people with Monport machines, and they are having the same problem. I paid for the machine on May 2022 and received it on October 2022, and they are saying that the warranty expires on May 2024, you do the math. If i were to do it over i would not buy a Monport.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Unfortunately ive heard a couple stories like this. Not good. Hopefully they get it right for you.

[@HometownAcres]

Lol. I know I just said tube a lot. But.. it’s a tube.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Ive noticed i just like repeating words a lot.

[@rickpouley7561]

Great video. I am looking to add a laser cutter to my shop next year..

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks! So far im really liking that Monport. Hopefully i can get some more videos out soon using it.

[@rickpouley7561]

Looking forward to seeing more!@@SpicerDesignsLLC

[@kiotimike]

Fancy "machine " 😂 you will have fun with that. Cheers 🍻

[@user-lz8zv8bk7u]

Thanks for the video it was really interesting. Can you tell me how noisy the laser is when its Running please. This is because the place that I want to put the Laser cant be too noisy. Thanks

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Its pretty quite. You can hear the stepper motors and the exhaust. Not bad though

[@tonyriek4997]

If you would do it over again, would you get the monport laser? I’m debating between omtech and monport.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I dont have a lot of time on it in all honesty ive had no issues with is. There may be a comparison coming soon between the two.

[@boingaon]

Is the built-in exhaust adequate?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Just depends on how far your exhausting it. Id say 6-12’ is adequate.
