Thanks for your clear and professional videos, I am interested in this machine and your videos are helpful (I have a previous CNC training). You speak clearly and allow me to understand, without the need for subtitles :). Greetings from Italy

Hi Roger, Your professionalism shines through in both clarity of speech and time taken to produce quality videos such as this. As you say " You only get what you pay for. " This detailed explanation of what not to do or buy sets a clear course of action for the novice who otherwise could be put off in the use of this technology. Thanks mate.

Best half hour I've spent this year! Spot on, in perfect agreement with our 30year 1500-4k watt CO2 Amada operator. Many differences between the commercial and mid size you cleared up. Excellent info! Couple things I wondered, Does the Z axis head follow wavy material? Can you reduce power on sharp corners to avoid burning them off? Or in your program can you change power as you cut? Thanks and you should consider becoming a distributor...for the US too, hehehe.

@Kaschmirhase 11 месяцев назад

A great and invormative Video, thank you. One tip from a activated-carbon pro from Germany, the direktion of you Filter has a mistake. first the poket Filter then the "honeycomb Filter" an at last the aktivated Carbon filter. This a-coal filters only the smallest pices like odor molecules from the air. the filters are built up from coarse to fine. the a-coal filters finest toxic or smelling particle out of the air but not the dust particle. This particle crashes the expensive a-coal filter. best wishes from Germany an sorry for my english 😀

Great content here and I'm appreciative you took the time to make this video, but links to the exact equipment you purchased and where you purchased it from would be extremely beneficial as well.

Try joining and asking in some Facebook laser groups. I’m in a few of them and I recently remember seeing a guy post photos of a huge laser he was building. He builds them and sells them but I’m not sure if he also builds the enclosures for them. I’m in a Chinese Laser group on Facebook and I think that’s where I saw his post. I don’t know where he or you are located but I think that would be a good place for you to ask around.

The reason to use distilled water is because tap water contains minerals that will build up over time and harm your laser. Distilled water doesn't do anything to prevent algae growth. It still needs to be changed regularly.

Roger, does your laser utilize a genuine RECI power supply? I have read that it is non optimal to use a 100w laser to yield good 3D engraving results. The RECI states that their tubes can do high-frequency impulse engraving. This I imagine is dependent on the quality and capability of the power supply. Your thoughts on this matter?

At 11:19 you mention the “3000 chiller”. That is not a true statement. The 3000 does not have any refrigeration, it simply keeps the water at room temperature. Using a 100W tube with only room temperature water will seriously shorten the tube life. The Reci tubes are not cheap. I would personally recommend a Genuine S&A 5200 chiller. This unit does have refrigeration.
