    Samcraft is a channel all about educating, inspiring, motivating, encouraging, and sharing the things I've learned since starting my own small business in 2018.
    Today on Samcraft I test if the Atomstack M4 laser engraver can engrave pure silver. I have a .999 pure silver bullion, a 1 troy ounce of silver, and put it to the test!

    Hi, thanks for the clear video, how would the engraving hold up over time, on a ring for example during everyday wear?

  • @thesignofthedancingcrow7984

    Hi Sam May thanks for this video, I’m a silversmith and jeweller here in the UK and did a load of engraved work by hand, now i Have osteoarthritis in my wrists and fingers and can’t hand engrave, i recently purchased an atomstack for engraving and illustrating on sterling silver - so many thanks for all the information and guidance, i had origanlly thought I had made a mistake but this video and your other have really laid my mind at ease so a BIG thumbs up brother!

    To engrave on a curved surface, could you mount the item in something to hold it that you could rotate? Engrave part, rotate, engrave, rotate, until done?

    Sam, could you please review hot water tanks? My current system is part of my propane boiler system in my home's unfinished basement. I need to change my whole system because the propane is becoming too expensive. From your experience, could you please tell me about your hot water heaters and what system you have now? Thanks. I need to change the boiler out too, but that’s a complete problem I will deal with after I have the water water heater problem solved and may best be left to a good professional because it is going to be complicated. Thanks, again.

    • @Samcraftcom

      You’ll want a diode (around the 450nm wave length I think) or CO2 laser for that material.

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před rokem

      I would agree totally -- cost is a prohibiting factor for these right now. I'm sure costs will adjust with more competitors entering into the 1064nm arena.

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před rokem

      Not that I have found yet. There are a handful of videos on taking a 1064nm laser and tweaking settings to get some variance of colors, but not white that I have seen yet.

  • @justinbanks2380
    @justinbanks2380 Před rokem

    If you wanted to test gold (not saying you should or need to, but if you wanted to) getting some gold leaf should allow you to test. It is very thin and fragile though. Maybe testing something that has been gilded with leaf first, then test?
    Just ideas. Great test and video! Thanks for sharing

      I have not tried that yet, and haven't seen others do it with this model. It takes messing with the focus and frequency (from what I've seen in other videos), but that may or may not work with this machine... may be time to test that out!
