Engraving & Cutting Acrylic on a Thunder Laser

    At what point do you get to the tutorial? You can't create a tutorial if have a couple hours experience on a machine. Trying one craft project doesn't make you a teacher. The blades only break with age or tension. They are brand new, which means your dong it too fast or incorrectly. Edit your title and call this an UNBOXING.

    I have always been a great fan of Thunderlaser's great machine design and engineering quality along with their many videos as they attempt to make laser cutting easy for the masses. The matrix test card is a great beginners tool to get you working but it is like training wheels on a bicycle, once you understand how to balance, you remove the trainng aids. If you look at the small details of this test matrix you wil hopefully ask yourself several questions: 1) With the cutting test, once the pieces drop out you lose a lot of valuable observational data. However, look closely at the 25mm/s cut speed and note how "smokey" they are in relation to the 5mm/s cut line. Why? Its the same lens, the same focal distance and the same powers. 2)Compare the width of cut (the kerf) between the 25mm/s cut and the 5mm/s cut. Why is the 5mm/s cut twice as wide when its the same lens, the same focal distance and the same power? 3)With the engraving test, I have always been perpexed at what it shows you. It seems to show that as you increase power the colour gets darker. This is a fallacy because if it were true the colour would get darker ON THE SURFACE. Look closer and you will observe that increasing the power is making the engraving deeper and smokier. Again you should ask yourself why this is happening? How useful would this be on thin card? 4)The width of the burnt laser engraving line changes with speed and power. There is no compensation of line spacing in these tests. Slower speeds and greater power means thicker lines and double burning as lines overlap. 5)Focal distance set to the manufacturer's OPTICAL specification rarely gives optimal cutting or engraving performance because your laser beam has an INTENSITY focus that changes with speed, power, material and position on the table. So.these test patterns need to be done at different focal distances to find optimum performance chracteristics. If you never observe these issues, ask questions as to why and look for answers, then you will for ever be stuck with your training wheels. Great as Thunderlaser are they do not really understand the technology they sell beyond skin deep. To extract the best performance from your machine there is so much more to understand. Please watch this video to see how misleading the test matrix can be. czcams.com/video/Na5_6okUyKg/video.html This may whet your appitite to understand more about the technology you have invested in. It is truly amazing and your TL machine can do much more than TL ever imagined.

    This machine's blade storage set up and blade changing abilities already included with the machine when it arrives is a crafter's delight. If the storage area is a pain, there's always the use of plastic tubes from cigars, medical swabs, and they'll be a lot more reliable than any other storage device in helping us to keep our blades straight, and free from rust, esp. in warm humid climates. I'm very keen on getting one of these saws now that my beloved old 16" Craftsman's blade installation connector broke and the pieces are unavailable. Yes, I could order a converter kit from Olson, but I'm almost 72, recovered from three strokes and I'm not sure if investing in a new saw from the get go might not be a better investment considering that the conversion kit represents nearly a third of what a new Wen for 120.00 from Amazon would cost. But this Wen looks like a very good deal.
