Which Laser Rotary Should I Buy?

[@aaroncherman7629]

Awesome video comparison. I own a full size Rotoboss and a PiBurn. The Rotoboss has been nothing but headaches from day 1 - poorly assembled, wired wrong, nothing square, stripped and glued in bolts, parts fall off constantly, etc. The clamps and accessories I got with it are great, but that's the extent of it. The PiBurn is like a work of art - it's super well built. Someone complained about having to assemble it, but that saves on shipping, and it's super easy to assemble, and includes all of the tools you need for any fasteners. Couldn't be happier.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Wow! I didn’t run into those issues with mine but I have had a few friends tell me they had wiring issues too. As for the assembly part, I didn’t mind it so much. They have a great video that shows you how to do it. It took me about. 10 minutes.

[@elohimembroidery]

We just purchased the Monport 80W with the PiBurn rotary. THey didn't offer the RotoBoss so I am glad that I picked the better of the two. It's funny because you put a Yeti Rambler wine tumbler on the BiPurn and I happen to have a set for a client which had me completely puzzled on how I was going to accomplish that shape.

[@MichaelMcGuigan]

As a full size Rotoboss user I have mine set up with the motor on the left and I might be doing things wrong, but I've never mirrored an image or text before engraving. The Pi Burn support videos are necessary because it needs to be assembled. The Rotoboss has four attachment feet with magnets that stick to the rails under the knife blades on my Boss Laser. I'd like to see how the PiBurn would attach with its center post mount. With that said the PiBurn looks like a solid unit and I've never seen a complaint about it.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thanks for chiming in and sharing your experience. I’ll be sure to include that in a new video I’ll be making soon.

[@MichaelMcGuigan]

@@ThatMomWithALaser I'll be sure to check it out. You're doing great things and I always recommend your channel to new laser people.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

@@MichaelMcGuigan that’s so very kind of you. Thank you! I’ve been a little MIA as I work to finish the course but I’ll be back soon with lots of new and exciting things! 😃

[@anderslagerqvist2642]

Old video but still, the wireing of thr motor can be reversed, so the connector might be wrong for your machine, there are adapters for that, check with the rotary supplier.

[@coloncollections432]

Thank you so much for your videos, it helps out so much . My wife and I are soon purchasing the mira 7 and we are so excited and less scared just because we have this great Chanel with so much great information that will definitely help us out .God bless you and your family. Keep up the great work 💪

Just took the plunge and purchased a PiBurn. Thanks for this video!

[@joannewarren7961]

Thanks for another fantastic video Emily! I can't begin to tell you how helpful your videos have been for me during every step of my laser journey so thanks so much for what you do! I'm about to purchase the Piburn and I'm just wondering if you typically use the magnetic feet? Just wondering if there is any advantage to having them for the Mira 7?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

It makes me so happy to hear that! I haven’t used the feet bc it lessens the amount of clearance I have with my cups on the Mira. I don’t think they are necessary for our machines :)

[@vikos3295]

I don't have a laser engraver yet, but I've already chosen my rotary attachment ! 🖤

[@giftsfromthemagi1842]

Thank you for the great videos! I went down a "rabbit hole" and watch almost all of your videos in the past 24 hours! In fact, I was looking at purchasing a Glowforge initially then considered the FSL Muse! After watching your videos I am 97% sure I am purchasing a Mira 7 and have already completed the interest survey from Aeon USA (I mentioned that your KZbin channel brought me there). I appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge! I am truly excited about what I have learned so far!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you for sharing that. I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying my content here and thank you so much for the referral. Feel free to reach out anytime if I can be of any help.

[@giftsfromthemagi1842]

Sorry to check back in so quickly, but I have two questions. . . (1) I love the look of the Piburn from your videos, but was planning to buy the Aeon Chuck Rotary when I purchase the Mira 7. Would you skip the Aeon Rotary and go straight for the Piburn or should I have both? (2) Can you share any information about the Aeon USA response time? I have reached out through their survey (once) and their chat (twice) and have not heard from anyone. I haven't tried to call, but will try that tomorrow. . .any thoughts about this would be helpful.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

@@giftsfromthemagi1842 No need to apologize. They have a preorder special right now so the basic rotary is included with it. I would take it as it will be helpful with odd items like baseball bats and rolling pins. I would not go for the Aeon chuck and put that money towards a PiBurn. I’m happy to reach out to Aeon ok your behalf to make sure they aren’t missing your inquiries. Just PM me your name on Instagram or Facebook.

[@SharkGamingRM]

Hi I am new to rotarty and laser attachments. What is the difference between the Standard Fixed Feet Magnetic Adjustable Feet?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

No problem. The magnetic feet are optional and help to keep the whole rotary still. I don’t use them because I don’t have enough clearance on my machine with them. It’s not necessary but nice if there’s enough room for them.

[@toddltomlinson]

Love our PiBurn 3.0. I had a Rotoboss Jr. and agree with your comments.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thanks, Todd. They are both really great rotaries. I’m happy to see that they can now offer them to Thunder users. 🙌🏼

[@jelljell7871]

Thanks Emily ,, do you know if there is open end rotary and what maximum width it can hold please ? 🙏

[@laseroflovecreations]

Aha, found another item to add to my wish list. Thank you for breaking things down and giving the visual. I too am a visual learner.

[@jasminev.martinez4826]

Thank you so much! I’m glad I didn’t order the roto boss. Pi burn looks so much better and easier to use.

[@dnecey32]

Hello thankx for this video I ordered my piburn last night. So now is there a certain type of tumblers I have to use? Or can I get them at michaels and Walmart ?

[@cluebin8398]

You could make one of these things with a 3D printer and a handful of parts off McMaster for around $300. They really aren't that complicated of a device.

[@RealityRascal]

Great information and comparison, going to be a PiBurn for me

[@miguelpadron5984]

Hey great videos I just got a old laserpro explorer and it uses a vga entry do you know of a adapter I can use for any of them

[@ctaca1]

What a great comparison video. Thanks, Emily - really comprehensive and insightful.

[@cliffart7398]

I am fine with my cloudray. I also have the chuck I can use for cups with handles. I have all three styles of rotaries. But the Piburn would have been the only one I bought if I knew about it at the time.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I agree. I maybe would have saved up for it in the beginning had I known too. I'm hoping this will help those who are just getting into engraving tumblers. :)

Sooooo comparing a new piburn to a 2 1/2yr old rotoboss.. hmmm sorta sounds one sided, paid for by your affiliation to piburn.. don't you make money from piburn on every referral?? This is why real laser people question what affiliates have to say..
