Thank you very much. I am very new and I am learning something everyday. This was a good video on centering. Take care and be safe in all travels and all activities.
Overall, a pretty good video showing the basics of using a jig. It would be helpful for those who want to replicate doing this to see what your project origin is set to i.e. absolute coordinates. You can also move the rectangle to a Tool Layer so it can still be used for framing without being output.
THANK YOU SIR! I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer and a lot of using my new laser is coming along at a snails pace. You solved a huge question I have been worried about-in a way that I could easily understand. Again, THANK YOU!!! Hoping to see more of your videos to help me along!
This is one of the better videos on using these techniques to center an object. One thing that might work to ensure that your template is moved to the same spot every time might be to use lower power output Ie let’s say you cut the card board out. Finished your job you saved the card board and latter you want to replicate the job. Place the cars board back on the honeycomb use your saved cutout path turn the laser power down as low as you can get it, set up 3 passes you will then move the cardboard into position using the lower power output. 😁🛫
Wondering about air compressor upgrade, has the air compressor plug into machine or still in the wall power socket? Great video you have taught me something.. Hopefully laser will be here next week. Keep up the great video's 👍
Ok, I have a plastic square (one that fits into a LED disc) and I am not able to get it to center, or engrave the plastic correctly. I watched your video and still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help?
@@halsteadlaserengraving372 I use the green square and the pointer to find the center and then move the object around in the screen till I find the center
@@Actio83 yeah idk. I don't order much from temu. I'm typically not willing to wait and see what the quality is like so I just order from my preferred vendors.
This is a very helpful video. Thank you.
Thanks!

If there's anything you have questions on, I can try and make a video to help.
@@halsteadlaserengraving372 I truly appreciate that Sir. Thanks so much!-John
My god! This is genius! Thanks for sharing man! 👍👍👍👍
Great idea. I'm doing a bunch of coasters and I'm gonna try it. I'm thinking maybe cut like 6 holes to make several at a time.
Yes sir. If I have a large order I do as many as my bed will allow at one time.
IT HELP! THANKS !

Liteburn has snaps enabled by default!
Great video, Kool !! This will help big time hahahaha , and do you have a video on how you set up your LEDs lights. Thanks
No, but I can.

Compressor is plugged in to the wall on a separate circuit from my lasers and chiller.
Awesome video! Side question what material did you use to make the American flag magnet in the back?
how do you square your honeycomb bed so what ever your engraving comes out straight?
How much did you pay for the machine plus upgrades? What parts have you replaced for routine maintenance?
Just saved my ass. 😂 great to the point video!
Can you just position your laser like that and start? Newbie here thought absolute had to be in a corner or the center tia😊
Es muy bueno!!!!!
Putting the square onto a tool layer (T1/T2) and then right click on it to lock it is helpful...
Could you explain that further? I've seen that on Lightburn but I don't exactly know how it works and how it helps.
WHERE do you find the FRAME comand in Lightburn?
One question I failed to ask-Where did you get those cool magnets? Thanks again!~-John
Amazon

What is your origin set to? Use Absolute Coords

Complete LB noob here, how do I, or can I set LB to measure in inches rather than mm? Thanks.
I got you! Up top to the left of the font options you'll see a little box that probably says mm. Click it and it will change to in.
Isn’t leatherette a no go in laser for pvc?
Some of it. Just buy from a trustworthy source like JDS or Lonestar.
@@halsteadlaserengraving372 hehe guessing Temu isn’t one of them… :)
@@Actio83 yeah idk. I don't order much from temu. I'm typically not willing to wait and see what the quality is like so I just order from my preferred vendors.
Dumb question: what settings do you use to get the laser head to travel to the correct starting point?
I typically leave my start from on absolute coords.
you can use camara its better other level
Yes, you can use a camera, if you have one.
Not a very good job of explaining centering
Thanks Daffy. Shit to work on, ya know?
I think it was good… just saying
