Meet My Boss! We're testing the xTool F1 Laser! 

Yes. Mrs Brown would appreciate that! Haha

yup i was a bit disappointed too😂

Exactly what I expected as well!

He is in a facebook group I'm in and it was not only surprising to see him but how many people recognized him. I will not share the group for privacy reasons.

I'm not epileptic but it sometimes gives me a headache too....

I to am an epileptic and while I’m am not triggered by flashing lights either I find that it gives me bad headaches and really bothers my eyes. I generally try to look away or close my eyes when I see flashing lights. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a warning like that in a RU-vid video before especially not one that was related to laser work were there should be one. That was very thoughtful of you Peter and I greatly appreciate it. Cool video, I would love to incorporate laser work into my woodworking but haven’t been able to afford a laser machine yet.

It really shows you are a thoughtful and caring person. Keep being you.

i'm not eplileptic but very sensitive to flashing lights due my ASD

HAHA

I have seen the future and it goes *PEW PEW PEW*

To quote Japanese high energy particle physicist Marisa Kirisame, "laser is not difficult."

If I had to pick between flying cars and lasers, I'd pick lasers.

Lasers are also used to detect gravitational waves!

He seems like a cool old pervert

Peter being Peter, I thought for a moment that he was going to put it in resin to save forever 😂

Yeah, water also absorbs an enormous amount of energy as it heats up especially as it phase changes to steam

You're asking all the right questions 🌭🪭

I was thinking that too.

…also I was watching another RU-vidr play with module and she switched from engrave to emboss and some of the items printed better. Another pro for the awesome machine.

It's funny, he called out the leidenfrost effect at 5:55 but I don't think he made the connection between that and potentially getting a different result by wiping off the liquid lol

I've had a few like that too. A good or bad boss can totally change a job you like.

I do actually! Joel is a good guy!

​@@peterbrownwastakenblink twice if he's behind you

I think he said it was IT or something similar, but that was a few years ago and I could be misremembering

Just a note, careful what vinyl you cut. Some are safe, PVC vinyl is absolutely not, for you or the machine, as it releases hydrogen chloride, which creates hydrochloric acid, corroding the machine.

What? I've not heard that...

@@peterbrownwastaken it was just a tiny clip from one of your videos about one of their tools, there were a bunch of RU-vidrs

Yep, they absolutely do have an influence. Blue diode lasers also have very bad results, using the IR setting with the F1 produced much better quality.

that's pretty interesting! black paint is how you do glass and acrylic engraving on the diode laser, so that make sense!

Yes. With the proper prep, the laser can etch glass!

Sorry to hear that! I didn't know they had an IR attachment for the D1, but It does seem to work pretty well on the F1.

Its down to the focus. The IR beam only has about 1mm range. Theres too much slop on my d1 20w so it loses focus over a project. The f1 uses mirrors to focus and I think it does some of the focusing itself during the burn. they do sell a beefier gantry part for the 40w head that might support the IR head better, I'm just hesitant on investing more money on the d1 system. Still a fun toy. @@peterbrownwastaken
