Thus was done on a 50w Co2. It's been a good number of years since I used a 5w. I am assuming you have a diode laser, depending on the frequency of your particular machine. It might not engrave clear acrylic. As a general rule though. The setting are for a very light engrave. This is around 10% power and 150mm/s for me. Get some scraps and have a test to see how things work for you
Just got this....keeps blowing fuse within seconds. Axminster gave me a report number and will get back to me. I'm livid, I'd boxed this weekend off to get stuck in.. any suggestions? The big green on button is vibrating as well..😢
Which fuse is it blowing? The plug or the little glass one at the back of the machine? My old one blew the glass fuses, and the only thing I could think was some over voltage from the motor. If it's the plug and the trip switch (big green button) is vibrating, then possibly a wiring issue with the trip switch
@@philscraftcorner Hi yes, its the glass fuse. It trips the fuse box in my house, I've tried 3 times with the same result. I've had a crappy little £80 scroll saw for 6 yrs, never given me a problem... Lords knows how long it will take for them to collect and repair. I'm so not happy 😕
@CTID it's such a shame that is happening. Honestly, these are amazing saws that will be an absolute game changer when you get a running one. Axminster customer services are really good. Every time I have needed assistance. They have been really quick
@@philscraftcornerNo response from Axminster, I called and asked for a refund (hoping this would prompt a repair) but they won't collect it cos I disposed of the door-sized box! She suggested I visit a supermarket and ask for a large crisp box!! You can't make this up...I've refused, she is speaking to her manager and will get back to me. 😢
Thanks man. Was having the same issue where sone places would be more ppwerful than others. Now this thing is cutting like crazy. Only bad thing is im in the middle of a trophy project and now I have to retest and get all the settings foxed up again 😆 but seriously, cleaning laser lens (and every other lens and mirror) seems to have double or even wuadrupled my power 😳
I dislike the word sachet. At least spell it sashey or something 🤣 I also used to cut a corner off. Until I found a pack upside down in the toolbox and had to play pick up the cable ties
This is impossible. , when I paint. In 3 minutes I will have paint on my hands. And clothes. And before I'm done. On the floor. All over the table top. And in my hair. The stuff I paint will look good. But l always have a mess. Your a good painter 🎨 Phil !
This is basicaly a rebadged Pégas saw, so that has put me off the Pégas already. 7 Years is not a long time for a saw, even if it works every day. Pégas obviously designed the saw but they are manufactured in Taiwan. I think I will hold out for the Hegner Multicut SE that also has a foot switch and foot operated speed control. Thankyou for your video and hope this saw does better than the previous one.
I have a two trees ttc450 and want to do a house name to fit to a wall. It wants to be on a board about 18" x 9" x 1/2". Would that be possible ? Liked your video btw.....a bit scary at times and a wee bit too technical but good all the same.
Cnc machines are a bit easier to.work with for this kind of thing. If you are using easel online for designing. There is a feature that allows you to create designs bigger than your work space, and it will automatically create 'pannels' for you. You just need to make sure you keep the workpiece straight and move it the exact amount that you need to. A couple of tests on scrap and I'm.pretty sure you will have the idea
Google translate app for android or ios has a camera icon which will allow you translate text so maybe you can figure out your Japanese radio and maybe even change the language to English.
We can't actually access the settings. Most of the radio is locked out for some reason. There is no security code. I'm pretty sure it's all on the hidden SD card that is behind a panel when you tilt the screen down. I could always swap the radio for an English double din. But the wiring harness is different, so it all needs cutting and soldering For now, I think this is the easiest and cheapest solution
I do think they both look good. I am not seeing the cartoonish you mentioned in the imag-R. I do like that it has more detail. Thank you for sharing this.
Since iv used clear lacquer iv developed lines in every engraving I do with my sculpfun and each engraving it now gets worse/more visible. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Thanks
It's a bit difficult to diagnose without seeing the results. But you can try a couple of things, try without the lacquer, and see what the results are like. It could be that you are more focused and have a finer engraving line with this one. In which case increasing the lines per inch will solve that. There could also be debris in your x and y tracks, making the wheels skip. Just check that the laser head can move freely with the machine completely powered off.
Have you tested the rotary that comes with the machine? Is it possible to add a camera? Looks like a solid machine, pity that you didn't upload the full review of the machine. Cheers
I haven't even un wrapped the rotary I have had. There hasnt been a need for it yet. The machine is still going strong. Only had to replace the tube a couple of times and a power supply. But that was because of a faulty tube that cracked and arced the power through the case.
😅 I'm glad the machine is doing great, I'm about to buy one, looks like no one has unwrapped the rotary yet 🤣, looks solid though but it's weird that I haven't came across any video showing how it's used!
It's only been a week, so the stitches haven't even started to dissolve, I'll be ok next week, I think. Eating all the junk I usually eat probably isn't helping, but I like food 🤣
@@philscraftcorner i didnt get no stiches probably should have. i didnt change one habit, i did drink back then so i kinda had a pain killer lol. yeah im sure youll heal up, does suck though. glad its goin good.
@@philscraftcorner dang man i missed you on the live show, i seen you sayd hi but you didnt show up in the thingy when i started pushin buttons or because i pushed buttons i found were you were thr, dude sorry man, dang that blows. how ever maybe youll catch anothr one
I did say that with my time off 'recovering' from my wisdom tooth extraction, I would post some videos. This one was a bit of a slog to edit, though. 3 days of footage down to less than 30 mins is painful
@@philscraftcorner good. when i got mine pulled out the next day i could fill some thing nig with my tounge so i stared diggin an pulled out more tooth
It's really good stuff. I can't believe how much they actually sent. I trimmed it down because I felt it was looking a bit scruffy, and I couldn't get it to style how I wanted. What do you think. Should I grow it back?
@@philscraftcorner doin good here. Haven't done one thing to video 😂. Been raining almost everyday, so haven't used the furnace 😭. Waiting for a part for the CNC. Did get the garlic top cut off an blended. Planted some watermelon 🍉😁. Momma cat had her baby's, she hasn't brought them around yet though. How's you been doin🤔
@numbskullskills I have been crazy busy. Decorated an entire apartment. Renovated a store room into a kitchen for the cat cafe. Did some laser work. Sorted out a few maintenance bits at a retirement home. And somewhere in the middle of it all. I managed to eat and sleep 😅
My favorite part too. So how's the adds treatin you? Been raining here bout every day so i haven't been able to pour one thing yet. I have to get a ferrit usb cable fir the CNC im getting static interference, maybe this weekend, and your definitely roght that spinde needs a upgrade. Not sure if iv ever asked you, do you believe in Jesus? You getting to see the northern lights there? Anyway hope your week goes good
We had a good few days of sun and now rain as usual again. A simple fix for the feedback on usb feedback is to use a usb hub. I'm hoping to get some time over this weekend to properly set up the cnc with the new router. I don't believe in Jesus no. It's not something that has ever made sense to me. We did get the northern lights. It was a strange experience. Have a great week buddy
@@philscraftcorner I'll have to look into a USB hub. Tech support told me about the ferrite cable. I didn't go out to look for the lights. So them adds addin $ to yeah, do I have something to look forward to. Is it just a pie in the sky. Hope you have a good week too
You don't really want to use the stone sealer. The hole point of slate tiles is they are porous and will absorb the little bit of condensation from a cold drink and dry out over time instead of letting the condensation bead up and roll off onto the surface they're trying to protect.
The actual part about the printer starts at 3:40. You're welcome. Clever device but I avoid anything that requires an app since the company will be gone or stop supporting the latest phone long before the actual product is worn out. Too much e waste as it is without adding thousands of gadgets and toys and lighting fixtures before their time.
That is always a possibility with any app or device. I suppose if people keep using them though, the app developers will keep them rolling. Or some clever individual will come up with a universal app that can connect to them all
@@philscraftcorner I get ya! I'm not sure if it's the mic or the software, but somewhere the levels are just really off. I work in a home office, so I listen to things on normal desktop speakers, and I had to literally max them out to hear you. I like your content, so I wanted to help!
@@philscraftcorner I got it. I have a label maker, haven't used it a lot. Last few day have been kinda organizing, I'm sure I'll make it a mess all over
