How deep can this laser engrave metal?
@MegaIsok it's only 2 watt, so you can't go deep with it. You'll need a fiber laser for that. But, this definitely goes deep enough for a solid engraving that won't wear off.
Which is the best clamp? Seems like the self leveling 3d printed one?
It actually depends on what you're using them for. I have a variety of different clamps for different projects that I use regularly.
Can I use my dry PTFE spray instead of the Dry Moly?
Unfortunately, I've never tested PTFE spray.
Nice video. I use the same bucket etc for my water. Lid on bucket is sealed but I get dirty or contaminated water in about 2 months. Is this normal andis ther anything I can add to the water to stop this?
There's a few things you can do to prevent this. Fisrt, use only distilled water. Second, add a cap full of bleach every 6 months or so. That's what works for me. If you still have issues, switch to an antifreeze mixture.
@@MakeTechCreate Yes I have only used distilled water.
Ok, give it a good flush. Then, try adding the cap full of bleach. If that doesn't work, try using an RV antifreeze mixture.
Love this video!!!!! Thanos!
Your welcome!
Love this video!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
looks really good where did u get the design files from??? I really like the swirls designs
I believe I got it from Freepix.
Thank you! Great video.
Glad you liked it!
Not a very good demo as all the cuts were rough
Thanks for the input
Pro tip: dont watch with earbuds in.
Hows the volume
It's decent enough ... it won't blow you away, though.
Cant see where or how you wired positive
The negative wire from your laser tube goes to the positive terminal on the gauge.
i drawing same clamps and made 1/2 plywood my DIY cnc first clamps, working well, only bend little if tight plywood. need harden wood if make this plywood clamp, u i used birch fine lamel plywood, must be hard but bend little, i use 6mm bolt to sboilboard have M6 hole grid.
Thanks for sharing. Yes, the material you used for clamps really depends on how much clamping strength you need!
Nice video. The wolves one would be great for my brother in law. I may try something like that thanks.
You're welcome!
Excelente trabajo! Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos.😊
You're welcome!
I wish there was a way to do the polygon framing with the original d1. I have the d1 10w and infrared. Too much of an investment to just try and ssve uo to switch to a newer model. Had to wait until after my brain surgery to really get started using it and the companies definitely evolved a lot since then 😂 Very beautiful though!
You could try using circular framing option in Lightburn. It should get you close.
Hey there, great video, and I really want to try it. What material did you choose please?
Thanks! Those are stainless knife blanks. I have a link to them in my blog post.
Sweet ... etching metal opens up a whole new world of creativity for me
Thanks. It sure does come in handy!
Top 👍🤟
Thank you!

Awesome work!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video, it is by far the best and most complete beginner's guide I have come across. I have owned mine for several months and still had questions. Thanks again for the Review and examples. I do have one question. How did you get the honeycomb installed? Did you cut it to fit for use with the knife? Where can we purchase it.
You're welcome. You can order custom sized honeycomb beds from sellers on ebay. That's were I got mine.
Can you buy those sprays in different colors? Or is it just black?
I've seen them in black, copper and silver colors.
That's a great idea!
Glad you think so!
Thanks
No problem!
How fast does this rapid? Seems slow in the video.
I don't push my machine's, in fact I probably run them slower than most. If you have a look in Shapeoko groups, you'll get a better idea on the limits of the machine.
great work !!! 👍👍🤟 , greetings from Solingen/Germany
Thank you
What settings are you using to etch the painted glass?
You can find the settings in the main video here: ua-cam.com/video/wg8gm-VwLjA/v-deo.html
When you used this thing, was there more air pressure coming out of the seam in the unit, itself, than out of the hose?
No, the seams arw sealed on my unit.
@@MakeTechCreate Thanks for the reply. I figured something had to be wrong, but couldn't get a response from the manufacturer. I've submitted for a refund.
Very informative video. Love the step by step process you shared with us. I have an S1 40w & 2w head. Have you ever done a video on how you create your designs? Thanks for sharing your talent.
Sorry, no I haven't this machine. But, if you look through my channel I do have video on making things like Boxes with a CO2 laser witch can easily be adapted to xtool.
ok
Woah very cool, I could do this at home with minimal gear
Thanks! Yup, it's pretty easy!
Sheldon?
@@roenick1798 yeah I was like young Sheldon but from a low income broken home so now I just live in the forest and run a science class for local kids about making electric motors out of Lego, wire and magnets and like maths and stuff (this is a gross oversimplification)
Thats hella cool
Thank you!
Good demo, thanks. Can't blame the dremel for the condition of the MDF. MDF is made of sawdust and glue so it won't leave a perfect edge. Hope you were wearing a mask! Try cutting real timber next time and compare the results. Now I'm off to play with my circle cutter and straight edge guide for the first time.
Thanks for the feedback! Yup, I was definitely wearing a mask.
What was the speed and power
Speeds and power are in the full length video here ua-cam.com/video/wg8gm-VwLjA/v-deo.html
That is an excellent tutorial that can be applied to many different objects, very well done !!
Thanks, Colin!
Hi
It's crazy what you can do with lazer cutting nowadays like the options are endless.
It sure is!
Thanks, nice, short and easy! 👍
You're welcome!
What wood and thickness?
1/8 MDF, but 1/8 birch playwood works just as good
Multiple shallow passes with router bits, fella...🙄
Thanks for the tip, Buddy!
Where do you get your knife blanks?
Links for all the materials are on my blog post here: maketechcreate.com/blogs/video-tutorials/exploring-lasers-for-knife-making-will-it-work
Where did you find the Rustoleum Spray Chalk? I can't find it anywhere. Can you post a link.
I just searched too and it seems to be out of stock everywhere 😫 Try brush on black Tempera paint instead. It's also washable and works well for engraving.
@@MakeTechCreate I have some of that, I just can't get it consistently blacked out. I think I'm gonna try the Montana Cans Chalk spray paint.
@Southernboy302 try using 2 coats or a different brand might work better.
Do you sell these?
I have as a custom order: maketechcreate.com/
AMAZING!
Thanks!
I’m looking to getting one. How flat do the surfaces of rocks have to be? Like super perfect or not really
There's some tolerance, so they don't have to be super flat.
What is the purpose of 2 stacked lenses?
It creates a very fine focus point.
What settings did you use for this glass engraving? Is chalk paint better than tempura paint?
My settings are in the main video here : ua-cam.com/video/wg8gm-VwLjA/v-deo.html They both give slightly different results. I would say to try both and decide which one you like.
Is the wood veneer eco friendly?
Do you have little John’s aunt screws?
Only on the galvanized square steel beams.
