[@noelv1976]

How is it holding up 7 months later?

[@DreamstoRealityAutomotiveTV]

I wonder if it loses focus when trying to cut through the 1/2 wood

[@alanday5255]

Are you using air assist with those deep cuts?

[@JoaoFerreira-iw7ml]

Sorry for the question... I'm a beginner... can this machine cut 2mm EVA foam? Thanks

[@WesHamstra]

I would think it would

[@rccanuck4473]

I just tried it for the first time but it will not cut the sample wood provided until I'm at 25 speed 100% power . Any faster it wont cut my spindle speed matches my % speed so its not that any ideas

[@AngelaMallery]

It says it engraves in color. Can you say how good that is?

[@aliciarobinson1826]

only on certain metals

[@Landyn_Siltman]

What software are you using to cut the wood?

[@WesHamstra]

lightburn

[@jkoontz2000]

What program do you use

[@WesHamstra]

Lightburn

[@jkoontz2000]

@WesHamstra ok, Thank you that's what I have downloaded a week or so ago. Now to just figure out how to use all of my Longer ray5 20 w laser engraver. Should have came with a book on how to.

[@WesHamstra]

@ a lot of laser manufactures don’t include how to use the laser with lightburn in their manuals. There is videos on KZbin that show how to set it up on light burn.

[@jkoontz2000]

@WesHamstra I've went onto KZbin and I still can't find out how to use it. I mean I can put and image on there but to create one from a fee pictures I cant or how to get color when I engrave.

What software are you using, lightburn?

[@WesHamstra]

Yes, I am using lightburn

[@يقينالسيهاتي-ل3ظ]

It is free? Software

[@Hobbyen-met-Peter]

where is the ply wood resting on?

[@aliciarobinson1826]

Honey comb working table

[@SergeiLepiavka]

Nice!

[@angelaehrhardt]

Does this model engrave metal?

[@mikeymusk]

According to instructions it does

[@aliciarobinson1826]

yes

[@PileofBrass]

After burning with no air assist, your lense is dirty and needs cleaned.

That compressed cardboard it the worst to engrave and cut, you might as well quit. Use birchwood for best results
