True what you say, have to gauge it or have an eye for detail - that way no errors (hopefully) Been doing promotional products for 15 years but needed to shift the business as companies are not spending all that much these days on gifts. So reaching out to the private sector is where we are headed.

I bought a laser engraver to engrave a gold plated necklace and it won’t even make a dent in it . I did some research and I think I figured out that the engraver I bought didn’t have enough laser power for the material I was looking to use it on 🤦🏾‍♀️. Do you have a recommendation for what amount of laser power I should be looking for when buying a laser engraver based on the material I’m looking to engrave (highly reflective gold plated 316l stainless steel) ?

Great looking!! I have a 50w JPT and im trying to do the same thing on brass, i get the the same look and everything but when im cleaning the black dust off around the engraved area the dust seems to get "stuck" inside the engraved area and gives it a "brown" area more than the white/natural brass color.. Some ideas there?

@LaserEverything Год назад

Try a cleaning pass when you're all done to use the laser to actually push the debris out. We go over it in our brass video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9iw9wc210Ik.html

@emmavella846 2 года назад

Hey Alex, if you are deep engraving, it leaves the surface rough, how do you treat the piece then? Thanks

@LaserEverything 2 года назад

Usually a pass of something like steel white finish (fast and medium power, medium frequency) will flatten it out a little after you reach the required depth, it's not perfect but it helps. You can also go in and straight up polish the engraving. If you go deep enough before polishing it won't remove the engraving, I'm not a jeweler though and there are probably better resources for that info out there :'D

You can do it with a fiber up to about a millimeter. Recommend 50+ watts for cutting.

@netinfluencer 2 года назад

I like your videos. I am thinking of buying a Laser called SCULPFUN S9 Laser because I can not afford such a nice laser as you have. Do you think that this 90w laser can do as good a job as yours. Can you perhaps explain the difference?

@LaserEverything 2 года назад

90w is a LOT of power, what do you want such a high power laser for? The difference between manufacturers is stark. Buying a high quality laser is important in this industry. Wiring quality, fiber optics quality are two big areas where you see a big difference between higher end machines and the cheap ones. You also get more reliable power supply units and with the super cheap lasers you often get knock off laser sources which is the box generating the laser. There's a very long list of reasons why you should spend more. Save for more time if you can and put some extra money away, then make your purchase. Not only are super cheap fibers unreliable, they can be dangerous with melted wires and fiber optics. Be careful!

I understand that if you weren’t doing a educational clip at the same time you would finish it off a lot quicker but I’d like to calculate if the investment in a fiber laser is worthwhile compared to hand engraving using gravers. Thanks

@LaserEverything 2 года назад

Can you please tell me about wastage of gold dust during this process? Thanks for the good video

@LaserEverything 2 года назад

I'm not a jeweler so I don't have specifics but a lot of guys will get a basic fume extractor and ONLY use it when they're working on gold projects. Every couple months you can empty it and reclaim the gold dust for repurposing.

@scottdeaussie 2 года назад

I’m a jeweller and I’d be inclined to weigh the piece before and after engraving and see how much metal is actually removed by the process. Once you know how much (or how little) you can extrapolate knowing how much precious metal engraving you actually do per week/year and from that you can calculate the return versus the cost of specialised extraction system/filters and refining of the metals. I usually only refine my lemel (scrap metal filings) once a year and it’s worth saving but I don’t know if it’s removed from the original piece as a vapour or as small molten pieces? I’m very interested in finding out myself!

There's a new video out on setting up your system for the first time which you may find helpful. Could cover things you haven't uncovered for yourself yet.

How did you get your laser to show the text (Tony ) to show like that what setting do I have to turn on ?

@LaserEverything 5 месяцев назад

In ezcad, you can do this a few ways. Like we did, can outline with the border box removed in software so only name is selected, or using mark select and only selecting the name and not the border box and framing. In lightburn, there are several framing options within the frame menu which can output a general square frame, tight exterior outline, or a more detailed shape of the components of a design, also adding in you can use the cut selected graphics as a equal use case to the mark select in ezcad, functioning the same way. Hope that helps!

HELP : After clicking open vector file in EZcad I can't find where it was actually opened, scroll bar is to much to find. Is there any short cut to find the opened vector file on EZ cad screen ? please help

@LaserEverything 2 года назад

if you click open vector again it should open to the last folder you had open. At the top there is a drop down menu that should show you the folder tree where the file is located.

Im new to laser ingraving my question is do i have to use a program like Adobe illustrator to use vector images in ezcad2?

@SubhanToba 3 года назад

Yes, and any other vector editor for advance vector creating or editing

@LaserEverything 3 года назад

Illustrator or Inkscape both work great.

Is it possible to black finish the text on gold or gold plating ?

@LaserEverything 3 года назад

Gold plating not really, depends on the core metal because you're going to blast through the plating looking at it the wrong way. Solid gold a little more likely. In reality it's a dark brown, just need to slooooooow your pass down. Takes a little trial and error.

Hi there, i have the same setup and i hve tried to engrave silver and nothing happens at all, can you help me with the proper settings

@LaserEverything 3 года назад

The setting used for gold in this video should be pretty close to what you need. Are you sure you're properly in focus?

@maiconk874 Год назад

which lens did you use?

@LaserEverything Год назад

This was done with the 110mm lens.

@ITD_RO 2 года назад

As I can see there is a cross hatch in the engraving process.. But when you show your hatch settings cross hatch or auto rotate aren't checked.. Can you please tell me the correct and complete hatch settings? Thank you in advance!

@LaserEverything 2 года назад

Rather than using a cross hatch I used the second hatch with an opposite hatch angle. Cross hatch is fine too, however you want to do it.

@ITD_RO 2 года назад

Thanks for the clarification. Your final hatch looks really good. One of my friends bought a 50W laser machine and after 3 months of playing with it we cannot get a nice looking hatch on gold. On silver looks ok but on gold far from what it should be. The only way to get a clean filled text on gold is to import the text in ezcad like a picture and engrave it like that (with the settings used for photos). It looks good and it takes even less time. Photos look ok either on gold or silver.. the problem is that as far as I know you cannot engrave photos/pictures using the rotary tool. So for inner and outer ring engraving the only solution is to use hatch. What I did and looked nice was only to engrave the text contour after applying an 0.05mm offset 3 or 4 times, so you get a thicker contour.

Hi, I am from India i am working as goldsmith laser work can i get the ideas of how to recover gold powder from laser machine i have been losing of all gold powder same working in Ezcad

@LaserEverything 3 года назад

Hey Mani, thanks for watching! Unfortunately from what I've seen there is currently no good solution for recovering gold powder left over after the engraved gold is vaporized. If you find a solution be sure to let us know so we can share that info. Thanks!

@nancyhissendj5865 2 года назад

did you use the 110*110mm or 70*70mm

@LaserEverything 2 года назад

We used the 110 on our 30w Fiber for this episode.

@RickSwartwood Год назад

Also looking at lasers - 30w or 50w? Why 50w (What's the purpose?)

@LaserEverything Год назад

These days I'd recommend a 50w to most people. They get the same work done in a much shorter amount of time and are only marginally more expensive.

@meriemnadjladrabla8568 3 года назад

What laser you recommend for cutting and engraving silver?

@LaserEverything 3 года назад

A 30w or 50w fiber laser will do just fine. You don't need anything with fancy frequency modulation because silver isn't ferrous so no need for a MOPA or anything like that. If you're only planning on working with silver a basic Raycus cloudray laser like the one in the Amazon link in the description will do just fine.
