    Gord you are top dog when it comes to doing reviews. They are easy to watch and understand. Smooth as butter and easy to understand.
    For me it is like having just enough ice cream on the cake for me to keep keep eating the cake.(I like ice cream more than cake LOL)
    Well done my friend and always good to watch you do what you do.
    Take care,
    Gary

      Thank you very much, Gary. I never thought that I would say this but I actually enjoy doing some of the reviews. Not all of them; some are just a pain in the butt. I like this xTool S1 a lot. I think it just might be a keeper. Of course, one of my grandchildren might have other ideas but they are mainly adults now so they could always buy their own. Right, like that's going to happen! 🤣😆
      Thanks for watching, Gary. It's good to hear from you!
      Take care,

    Gord: This is truly an amazing machine. It appears to do everything for you except brush your teeth. Ya know your day has arrived when manufacturers trust your word to send an expensive piece of equipment for you to review. That goes to show you have developed trust with them and your viewers. Thanks for sharing!!
    👍👍👍👍👍

    • @GordonRock1
      @GordonRock1  Před 6 měsíci

      Yes, it's amazing, John. That might just be an understatement. It would be great if they could add an option to brush your teeth but that might be more wishful thinking. 😉😉
      I'm grateful that they have this kind of faith in me. Thank you for the kind words, John, and always being there for me!
      All the best,

    Hi Gord, Firstly I sincerely hope your treatment goes well and you are not unduly affected by it.
    That is possibly one of the best lasers I have seen and your review is brilliant.
    I did notice that the settings changed themselves for the curved engraving and as raven2512 explained it is for safety which is a great feature.
    If I didn't already have an LM3 I would seriously consider buying one of these.
    That reminds me I really must get on and learn how to use it and Lightburn LOL.
    Take care my friend.
    Cheers, Huw

    • @GordonRock1
      @GordonRock1  Před 6 měsíci

      Yes, Huw, it’s a brilliant machine. At the rate they are advancing these laser engravers I am curious as to what they come up with next. It’s always something that I would never think of. It amazes me the ideas some of these geniuses have.
      Thank you for the kind words, Huw! I hope you’re doing well, my friend.
      All the best,

    Very good review and anyone who gets one of these will certainly use it for start up and working with it! Do you get to keep these engravers or do you have to send them back after the demonstration? Thanks Gord and take care!
    Cheers Al

    • @GordonRock1
      @GordonRock1  Před 6 měsíci

      Yes, I get to keep them. With three “children” and four grandchildren who are suddenly all interested in these machines it’s easy to give them away. That’s not even mentioning the other “family” members who have taken an interest.
      Thank you for your well wishes, Al.
      Take care,

    good video, nice idea.
    From what I noticed, it wasn't your mistake the last time you tried lasering on a curved surface or curve.
    The machine AUTOMATICALLY limits the speed to 200 or 250 mm / S...unfortunately I'm not sure about the exact value.
    You can program 600mm/S but it doesn't help you.
    I think the manufacturers installed it for safety reasons.
    For example, if you laser at high speed, the machine needs a certain braking distance/turn around/acceleration distance/and braking distance again. Sometimes it happens in fractions of a second, which would then damage the machine itself in the long run.
    Nevertheless, when it comes to safety features, with enclosure, suction, etc., I personally like this machine.
    I have 2 open homes myself and I'm already thinking about whether I'll sell them and switch to this machine. Thank you for your effort and time for this video.
    Edit: Maximum Speed for curve engrave is 30mm/ S i found the Data ;) be carefull whit Powersettings .

    • @GordonRock1
      @GordonRock1  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Wow, thank you for the great information. I would never have known that they limit the speed for curved surfaces although it certainly makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to let me know about this!!
