You can spray the whole piece with white lithocrome let it dry and then scrape it all off with a scraper. What’s in the etching will leave behind. It’s a awesome weather proof paint that comes in spray cans. We use it at our monument shop.

Hi Jay. I just now came across this video. I'm fairly new to laser engraving and I've got a 15W Ortur Laser Master 2. I haven't tried granite, or even ceramic tile for that matter, but I'll let you know if a 15W laser is strong enough. Good video, straight to the point and not a lot of babbling. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos.

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

Hello I have not tried a 15w it may engrave granite but slow.

@refineryai2559 2 года назад

Amazing machinery, it's fascinating to see how a light beam cut through stone and an image emerges! If you engrave a portraits on gravestones too, you might know that sometimes the portraits have very low quality. To fix the quality of the portraits we we've built a tool that automatically improves the quality. It will be much appreciated if you check out the tool, or tell about it to the graphical designers that prepare the portraits for the engraving. Thanks a lot! (link in the channel)

@wellmanandwoodsonaxebladew3741 Год назад

Hey Jay whats your process for doing pictures brother, I have the exact same machine, I haven't changed any parts on it so it's stock. Just a general areat where to start with power/speed/interval mm/ dpi/ and anything else you want to share, love your videos.

@jessemobley2944 2 года назад

Hi Jay, great video. Just made one successfully after watching. Did you ever make the video on how you adhere them to patio stones? If not, would you mind giving a brief description?

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

Just use a tile mastic and glue it to the stone

@cadjoe8247 2 года назад

Hi Jay, curious as to what Line Interval you are using? You said 65% @ 175mm/s, but what line Interval? I have tried 0.1 thru .063, and still seeing line ridges horz. in the engrave. Thinking my meniscus might be too small of a dot?

@NFOsec 2 года назад

Very nice and straightforward process. Just out of curiousity Jay, what were you using for the image? (e.g. negative/reverse, etc.). I've been skeptical at times to try colorfilling, but this gave me confidence to say what the heck... I'm an addict now. :)

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

I have mine set up as a vector and not mirrored I use corel draw for graphic design then rdworks just to run the machines

@howdydoody30204b 2 года назад

Another really helpful video. Thanks! I notice, though, that you used Enamel on your paint-filled signs but Ultra Cover here. Why, and which applications would you suggest for either paint?

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

you could use either this is just the color I had wanted to o the fill with

@carlosmanjarrez1809 Год назад

@ProBangers 2 года назад

Nice video. I am used to dealing with wood, acrylic and mylar, but haven't done any stone. Quick question - When engraving stone, is there any difference to take note of regarding air assist and extraction? I vent indoors through a fume extractor / air scrubber, so I'm just trying to get an understanding on how much dust is produced compared to other common materials. Thanks!

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

It produces less dust then wood and no smoke

Hey Jay, thanks for all the Info, I've been interested in Lazer Engraving lately! Don't know why really, its Very Cool! Have you seen the Alien Rock that was found out West?

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

Cool good luck no about the rock

@paulg.yarger8797 2 года назад

I'm sure you can Google it! It was found in the Desert out West a few years ago!!! It's Cool, there was also a Documented Crop Circle with Exactly the same Design!!! Ya, thanks for the Words of knowledge!!! I may have Questions in the Future for you! Awesome Craft you are in too!!!

@carlosmanjarrez1809 2 года назад

Jay very good I like that! So I’m starting with glowforge I was given the printer! An I wanna start doing grave stones ! Granite an I wanna master the easy printing I wanna make money too to upgrade laser!!!! Any suggestions on my glowforge? I need tips on peoples pictures! S imag-R a good soft wear to use? For pictures? Should I do a negative on the picture? Or like wood black an white an just engrave?

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

hello I have never used glowforge's software I make images black and white and actually have a video of how I do it through Corel draw here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--D70ri57SIM.html there are many more steps I just touch base on the very basic to get started in this video

@Uneasy80 2 года назад

do you recommend putting any seal on it,or once the paint is dry its good?

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

Once paint is on it Is good

@denniskramer9788 2 года назад

Using my 60W CO2 laser, I tried various speeds, powers and types of black granite - in almost all cases the granite surface was raised not etched away. What am I missing.???? Thanks Dennis

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

Go very slow and very hot it will etch

@lonniec2116 Год назад

I have a cnc but no laser. Do you know if it can be enraved with endmills or vbits? A neighbor of mine buried his father last year and can not afford a headstone of any kind. I'm going to power-carve a cross with an angle grinder for him but would like to add some sort of engraving like this.

@JaysToDoList Год назад

Yes slow setting with a diamond bit should do it

@pgformula 4 месяца назад

Can your laser cut the tile in half to make 2 6x12 tiles and if yes how long does it take

@JaysToDoList 4 месяца назад

No not with co2 you can cut it with a diamond tipped saw blade only takes a minute to cut

@markcarr868 Год назад

Do you change your focal point ( make your focal dot larger) if so how did you determine that size

@JaysToDoList Год назад

I focused my laser to the top of the granite and made it as small as possible

@markcarr868 Год назад

@@JaysToDoList i have done a couple using your technique! it works amazing! This maybe the same as the last question about focal length do you have a DPI setting or line intervail that you like 254 dpi. My thought is if it a smaller dpi it would leave more "valleys" in the engraving and give it more area for paint to adhere to.

@johncompardo2428 2 года назад

Do you seal it with anything afterwards?

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

I did not seal with anything I used and exterior paint

@albionfalgui6861 Год назад

How about a 10w laser power, can it engrave a granite like that?

@JaysToDoList Год назад

I have never tried a 10w it may need pretreatment to leave a mark if you have one let me know

@mtraven23 2 года назад

what else have you experimented with for color fill? I'm thinking something more like a stain, that would soak into the pours you've opened up during engraving. btw I aim to answer your question of just how small a laser can do granite.

@pmqtpqbtmz3956 2 года назад

Any update on just how small you can go for laser engraving? I'm thinking about purchasing a K40 but I may get an 80 watt laser instead.

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

I have done granite with a 40w machine

@JaysToDoList 2 года назад

I have not tried stain on the granite but have on wood. I have found it soaks into the pours of the wood and wicks into the other colors and does not quite work

@irochkalviv Год назад

I'd distrust anybody who claims/believes that Home Depot granite tiles are of adequate quality for laser etching. For anybody with high standards, the grain of Home Depot granite tiles is too coarse, and impurities many, to etch/render subtle details.

Haha
