Hey mate, I think from memory it was just some 12 or 15mm plywood not marine grade just c/d grade that I had laying around 🤙🏽

​@@woodendayz ok cheers bud. Thanks for the reply. Going to have a go at exactly what you did. Just got to pick up some of that Oramask Great video by the way👍 Thanks, Peter

Hi, yes you can cut acrylic very small just a few mm circle or rectangle and yes you can etch/engrave 1mm on some 3mm and not cut through it all depends on your speed and power settings that you use but you can engrave very light or very deep, The cuts are extremely thin if you were to cut out a circle then you can push it back in with almost no gap at all it’s very precise when cut by the laser 😊

I’m not sure about cutting foil or paper as iv not tryed that before sorry and yes you can vary the percentage of the engraving by selecting a different power setting and adding that to a specific layer in Lightburn

@@woodendayz thanks! :)

Hi for acrylic upto 4mm I do 14mm/sec with 40% power my machine is 80w

@@woodendayz Same my machine 80w but the same problem

Try a lower power or faster speed do you have air assist?

On my machine the chiller is sitting beside it and hooked up To the machine, but vevor do sell them with the water tank inbuilt I think the 100w And 130w machines have that option

Hi Fred, I don’t have the rotary tool but there is a connection on the machine for one to plug into! Thanks for watching, Cheers, Matt

I have the vevor 80w co2 laser I can not find any where to plug in a rotary tool and vevor are not much help can you tell me where the plug is there is no plugs inside the machine thanks Fred

@Fred-nv9vg mine plugs in just inside the machine on the right under the control panal there is also a switch on the front of my machine labelled rotary plane I assume this is to turn the rotary took on and off once it’s plugged in

Thanks for the reply I have no plugs inside or switches it looks like everything is just hard wired in So guess I’ll keep trying vevor until they give me an answer You have great content on channel.have you tried engraving on tiles I do Fred

@Fred-nv9vg thanks mate I actually havnt tryed tiles but would like to give it a go any info on speeds and power I should try?? Yeh I’m not sure if they all come with this installed I didn’t realise mine did when I’m purchased it wasn’t until I opened it up and realised it had the plug and switch

10 mm/sec and 50% power will do 10mm mdf

Hi my machine has been great I haven’t had any problems this far only small things here and there but it’s definitely been a good machine

Yeh I have herd that but I think I’ll be right mate, they would have bigger fish to fry than a guy who has 300 views on a video lol 🤟🏽

Yes of course not sure why I didn’t think of that lol thanks for the heads up that would make things a lot easier will use that on the next one cheers, Matt

@@woodendayzhope to see more videos

Thank you mate I appreciate that and thanks for the advice I will have another look at this cheers, Matt

Yeh mate research is key 👍🏽

@@woodendayzthanks for making this video. I’m trying to really learn about the safety hazards, the maintenance, the extra things I need like the air assist for fires, the chiller and stuff like that. Any thoughts on what to research? What problems I’m going to encounter and how to best setup my station? Do you have a surge protector or anything special for power?

Just research C02 lasers in general yeh you should have a serge protector on the laser itself iv been very fortunate with mine as I havnt had many problems at all my machine had been great I did the air assist myself using the ultimate air assist kit that I bought from Amazon and that made a huge difference so definitely recommend doing that

Hey mate, yeh you do but it’s very very minimal compared to the honeycomb in most cases barley even noticeable 🙂

This one is 80w vevor c02 laser machine!

Yeh defiantly lol

Hey mate, Thanks, yeh it can definitely do mugs and glasses you just need to purchase the rotary tool part, it has the plug connection on the machine. But it doesn’t come with the machine, Thanks for watching 👍🏽

@@woodendayz thanks mate keep up the great videos

Yes absolutely it is 😊

No not on this model

Hey mate, it doesn’t cut it backwards/mirrored it’s only on my machine screen that it’s mirrored it can be changed in Lightburn but I’m not too sure how as I havnt done it I did change it early on but for some reason it messed up my parameter space so I couldn’t cut anything, thanks for watching mate, Cheers Matt

Green stuff? Yeh I would contact them I’m not sure what that would be is it comming from the tube area??

@@woodendayz yes, the tube area

They said that’s how they test the machine with antifreeze

Yeh it sure does although iv never used it. Did you get the same machine?

@@woodendayz yes, I was wondering. I’m soo new to this. I’m just waiting on my compressor & chiller. Do you know when you’re going to do more videos? Your videos really encouraged me to buy this machine.

@themeditationcorner6531 Thank you and yeh I’m definitely gonna do more videos soon including another review as iv had the machine for about a year and a half now so just update on how it’s been working and what problems iv run into along the way. Exciting times ahead for you I was so keen to get mine 😊

Exciting News I would love to see a video on you using the pass through@@woodendayz

Hey mate, yeh there arnt any good places iv found Bunnings is where I get my 3mm ply and mdf from they say to use laser ply but the stuff from Bunnings seems to work well if you can find straight/flat pieces 😂🤣

Hi Wendy, no problem, there a 3.175mm bit I use 2 types 2 flute straight cut and also a spiral down cut I find the spiral down cut good for cutting things out and the 2 flute is good for pocket routing as in clearing out material i purchase mine from eBay I just buy the cheaper ones you use more but get more for the money 😊 hope this helps cheers, Matt

Thankyou! Yes it sure does help!

I’m working on it haha hopefully have some new one up soon 😊

@@woodendayz great To know 🥰

Thank you! 😊

Hi Paul, sorry mate I’m not sure what size diode they were it all came in the kit I purchased the ultimate air assist maybe you could search that up it may have that info on the description specs cheers, Cheers Matt

Its a 1N4001 DO-41 1A 50V Rectifier Diode

@@fionnachta thank you

Not long at all about 10mins 😊

I ordered my machine🥰 do you can you release mor videos soon?🥰

Do you provide 101 classes

@@woodendayz soo awesome. I would love to do a 101 with you when my machine come on the 24th of this month. Do you post on other social platforms

What machine did you get? and yeh I’m hoping to do some more videos soon 😊

Minimum I usually put about 10 lower than my maximum the minimum is the amount when the machine slows down comming in and out of a corner so it doesn’t burn up the material too much 😊

@@woodendayzgreat, thanks

I don’t have a link sorry as it’s purchased from a local shop but it is just application tape the same stuff they use on vinyl decals to transfer the sticker, It’s a mid tack masking application tape! Thanks for watching 👍🏽 cheers, Matt

Hey mate, to find your focal point you need to do a ramp test check out this video to find yours! RAMP Test How to find your focal length!!! czcams.com/video/p3LldFDL5CM/video.html Thanks for watching cheers Matt!

@@woodendayz Thank you. We had a similar unit at my work place (90W), which broke, and got swapped out with onether one, this one has a 150W laser. I experimented a bit, it can cut through 10mm plexi with speed 5 and power ~50% easily

Yeh absolutely works very good on leather with the right settings 😊

Hey mate it’s just a mid tack transfer tape like the type they use for putting on sticker decals

Ta. 👍👍

Thanks Rhonda, I’ll kept that in mind for the next one thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching, cheers, Matt
