Sainsmart sent out their newest laser for me to test. The all new Genmitsu L8 20 watt laser. This machine is everything you need to start engraving in one box. The performance and build are good and the current price tag makes this a great setup for those on a budget.

Love your videos, I find them very helpful! Thank you!

Glad you like them!

Looks like a nice step up from the open frame lasers. Love the pause on the lid opening feature!

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

That was a nice touch.

@TheNextThing 7 месяцев назад

I had one on order from back in November and then I came across the Lasermatic Mk2. Cancelled the L8 and ordered the LMMk2 and I’m glad I did. The L8 looks nice but for the price, the LMMk2 is a nice step up.

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

I agree, the engineering in the lasermatic is a step up.

@JimmyLee0757 7 месяцев назад

That was some good info. The photo quality was amazing for luan and I imagine it would be top quality on Maple. I might have to consider this one in my list of upgrades, from my Longer 10 watt.

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

Not a bad machine, and pretty affordable for the build.

@isaiahgillett2573 7 месяцев назад

Hopefully it's a good sign that more companies start coming out with fully enclosed and equipped diodes. Not a bad price either.

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

It isn't bad considering the performance. I think more companies are headed that way.

@LouRao 6 месяцев назад

Awesome quick overview video 👍. Have you tried over types of materials? If so, how did it performed?

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

It performs as good as any others. It is a pretty hot 20 watt

@JackInTheShop 7 месяцев назад

Hey Clack. I have done long butcher block counter tops before. I like the open bottom of this system for that reason. Given the option, would you pick this laser or the lasermatic?

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

It is a good machine, the Lasermatic is heavier built and has linear rails. This one isn't bad but not quite up to the lasermatic.

@chicagobob8087 7 месяцев назад

Looks like they're trying to resemble the Roly Lasermatic

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

It does appear they are leaning that way.

@lynchie2411 7 месяцев назад

I've had mine on order since early December. Just had an email today that there's delays and hopefully be delivered by the end of January..... If not, MARCH! This is going to kill me as my LC-40 died last night.

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

Maybe soon. Good luck

@XFBO 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the review! Seeing the unit is essentially bottomless, can this unit be placed on a flat object, like a door for engraving???

@TheClackShack 3 месяца назад

Yes, the engrave will be limited unless you tile.

@karlroberts8214 7 месяцев назад

You made a comment in a recent video that you connect to your machines wirelessly with your laptop. Maybe you covered this in a previous video, but what do you use to wirelessly connect to your machines? Thanks again for your videos!

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

The ones that have the options in their software. Most lightburn controlled machines do not have the option. Ortur does have the capability in the LM3.

@nickschumaker6707 7 месяцев назад

So i am between the lasermatic roly mk2 and the genmitsu L8 i see that at least early on you have mentioned the roly would be your choice, but do you think that is just with the 20w version of the L8 would the 40w version possibly be more on par or surpass the 30w version of the mk2?

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

I would be afraid to say without testing but the output of the 20 watt is pretty good.

@michaelselix6244 7 месяцев назад

Not fair, I'm still waiting for mine. They said it won't be shipped out till after the first. I ordered it back in november. I ordered the 40w

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

You will be glad I helped them fix the firmware. They send me a lot of prerelease stuff.

@johnyan8417 3 месяца назад

Hello, would you please share a interval test result of this machine? Thanks.

@TheClackShack 3 месяца назад

I do have one.

@podmkr 3 дня назад

I am currently deciding between this machine and the LaserMATIC Mk2. Which one would you recommend?

@TheClackShack 3 дня назад

Depends on budget, the MK2 is built a little better

@stephenbarone9407 7 месяцев назад

Is pass-through available without lifting it up on the feet?

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

Yes, but it is limited height

@sisenandolacson9447 6 месяцев назад

There's a file in the TF card, "L8 Camera calibration file.lbcm", how do we use it???

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

I did my own calibration, you can load the file but I prefer to do my own.

@user-mq4ui6qw5i Месяц назад

How do you think this measures up to the Acmer P2?

@TheClackShack Месяц назад

The L8 is a 20 watt, they have similar characteristics if you had both in 20 watt.

@butterflyknives6674 6 месяцев назад

Any advice for calibrating the camera? Seems the coordinates are always off.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

Only use a half sheet print. Take your time. The cameras are never perfect but will be really close.

@butterflyknives6674 6 месяцев назад

@@TheClackShack thank you for the help! Take care and be safe!

@The Clack Shack how does this compare to WeCreat Vision Laser Engraver

@TheClackShack 5 месяцев назад

I prefer it over the wecreate due to lightburn compatibility

@CockatoobirdmanBill 7 месяцев назад

How do you like it Sainsmart vs Roly (lasermatic)? If you had the cash witch one ? Not to put you on the spot but.....Be well and be saafe,💯❤

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

It is early to throw stones but the Lasermatic has an edge on build quality. Similar features, just a little better built.

@carmendaccurso8489 4 месяца назад

Can you compare the Genmitsu L8 and the Roly Lasermatic MK2. I am really tossed between the two.

@TheClackShack 4 месяца назад

To me, they are totally different. The MK2 is better but comes with a higher price tag. My MK2 is also a 30 watt, not a 20. The L8 is budget friendly but comes with a bit less build quality.

@carmendaccurso8489 4 месяца назад

Thank you for that@@TheClackShack

@ChristopherWerner-xx5sr 2 месяца назад

Need some help with the software. It’s a brick and I can’t get the software to see the laser. So far the instructions are horrible. Any advise?

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Are you using lightburn? Make sure you add the driver, I think it is on the as card or thumb drive. (Can’t remember which)

@Hashman10001 2 месяца назад

Could I get your lightburn dev file for setup? I have a friend who is having trouble getting lightburn to connect and wants me to come over and help them get setup.

@lynchie2411 5 месяцев назад

I finally took delivery of mine on Thursday. So far I've managed to waste 4 pieces of wood because the machine is constantly alarming out even when it's just stood idle and not cutting/engraving. I've seen on the TF card there's a firmware update and Lasertool flashing software but I can't get it to work..... On my older LC-40, you had hold the reset button while you turned the machine on to put it in flash mode, anyone any ideas how to do that on the L8?

@TheClackShack 5 месяцев назад

I did update the firmware on mine, the old firmware had some alarm issues. I do remember using the software, it will prompt you on how to put it in update mode

@lynchie2411 5 месяцев назад

@@TheClackShack I’ve emailed Sainsmart about it. Just hope they come back to me soon. There’s no prompt or instructions on how to enter update mode. I’ve gone back to the trusty LC40 for now.

@johndingmansr.5895 3 часа назад

What software do you use for this unit?

@TheClackShack 2 часа назад

Lightburn

@sisenandolacson9447 6 месяцев назад

Where can I find the firmware patch?

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

I am assuming their website. Should be under support

@woodknack1 6 месяцев назад

how does this compare to the lasermatic mk2?

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

It is designed similarly, the construction isn't as rigid and it doesn't have a bottom to the enclosure. Also, the L8 is a 20 watt where the MK2 can be a 30.

@woodknack1 6 месяцев назад

So the mk2 even at 20w would be a better machine?
