I actually JUST got one this weekend too. I'm doing a full video on it (unboxing, initial impressions) because I'm a YouTuber and that's what we do :-) But so far so good. The software is a bit...

OK, I was a bit vague. I wasn't saying I couldn't, I was saying I didn't want to. I'm not going to knock a 4-6" hole in my brick just to exhaust fumes from my laser. I'd sooner move it over to the...

I don't feel like it would be a problem for the blower either, it's more of a location issue. I'd have to run a 30 foot hose across the length of the shop. I could run it up to the ceiling, but...

Thanks for the ideas everyone.

Kev, I really like your solution. Unfortunately, the bottom half of my garage/workshop is brick, so I can't really just pop through the wall.

I'm toying with...

I really wish I could have the unit outside, but the back of the garage is somewhat visible from some angles, so I can't really have an 'eyesore' out back. I don't even like how my mini-split...

My fan is one of these:

356096
It's not the greatest in the world, but it does push a good amount of air.

Secondly, my attic is detached from the house. The house has no attic, it's all...

OK, so I've been spending the last week reading just about everything I can about fume extraction. It looks like I have 3 options. 1) vent outside 2) vent into attic (and then outside) or 3) make a...

Sure, but how do you accurately reference off of the jig or whatever you're using to hold the piece?

I'm looking to cut some holes out of some ABS project enclosures and need some sort of fixture to align them and cut them in batches. I'm wondering what the best way to do this is. I need to...

David, that's really great to hear! I think this will end up being my next drill press. If I get one, I'll be putting out a lot of videos showing off the features. I have a YouTube channel and...

Ah OK. I had never considered the Powermatic because I didn't want to spend that much on a drill press. But I agree with you, the features aren't just flashy, they would be very useful. I drill in...

Cool, good to know. I was planning on adding a keyless chuck to whatever I get. It's only $100 more than the 2800B though right? I guess the Powermatic doesn't have an additional shipping charge,...

Does anyone have an update on this? I see them listed as 'in-stock' at a few places online.

I was thinking about doing something just like this if it becomes an issue. The Z axis bed is solid and has the honeycomb on top of that. Smoke, fumes, and cutoffs only fall through the honeycomb...

Bill, I've been doing instructional videos for a very long time. This YouTube channel is relatively new, but I have 200+ videos under another channel. I freely answer questions and help people with...

Thanks! If it helps out one person, it was worth doing.



I thought about this for awhile. It's not ideal, but there just wasn't enough room in the back. It is far off to the side and as long...

That's what I hope. There are certainly people out there that might be intimidated with the electronics, so I tried to show what's involved in swapping the controllers. For some it might seem basic...

Yep, that's what I did. I saw very few people that actually documented any of the process. I've ordered from Lightobject a couple of times and was disappointed in the quality of their products on...

Hey everyone. I took the plunge a few weeks back and installed an AWC708C Lite controller (also sold as the X7 DSP from light object) in my 60W laser cutter. I made a video detailing the process. ...

I'm picking it up this morning. You guys are right, even for the blower and CW-3000, that's worth the $300. I didn't realize at first how much nicer the machine really was, with linear rails, much...

He said he'd show it working. Like I said, I actually know the guy, he was one of our suppliers at my last job, I actually recognized his name from craigslist. He's just closing down the business...

Hello everyone. I just found a laser on craigslist. It's a 30W bright star laser. I actually know the guy selling it (our businesses have worked together in the past) and I trust the guy. It's in...
