Today, we turned on the cutter and it went through the initialization steps, and once the laser head went to...
Has anybody engraved tumblers, like Yeti's without the use of a rotary attachment? Maybe something makeshift where you engrave 1/2 the image then turn the cup and engrave the other 1/2 of the...
The machine is about 5 years old or so. We were engraving on the top left corner, closest to the mirrors. I suspect a problem with the tube, but wasn't sure if it could be a power problem...

Anybody have a source for .75" mirrors for lasers? Looking for something in the states so we can get it quickly.
I am using Smartcarve and it outputs an .oud file for cutting.
We produced a perfect rectangle in Smartcarve, but when cut the end result is not perfectly square. It is off by quite a bit.
I...
For some reason I can't view your images :(
We are only cutting through 1/4" birch, but we have been doing tests with various PSI and have found at around 60 we can blast through our material with no burn marks, a super clean cut, and increase...
We have 7 lasers in our shop, and are looking into running shop air instead of individual compressors.
Ideally, we would like 60+ PSI for each machine.
My question is what is the best way to...
I am sanding the back side, it has burn marks after it goes through our laser.
Hi guys. I have several pieces of 1/4 plywood that I need to sand. Each sheet is 25" x 18" and I have maybe 2000 to do a month like this. I am not too familiar with wood working tools so I am not...
Keith's my boy. Taught him everything he knows. Seriously good job bro. Looks amazing, and super kind of you to share with the community. I'll put ya up down here in Tampa to work on my vents :)
Yeah it has the skateboard thing like you mentioned. I looked at all the rollers and they appear to be in good order.
I'll see if I can "see" anything wrong with the motor. Not sure what the idler shaft is.
We have a 40 watt GCC Spirit laser engraver. One of my employees was engraving glass and didn't realize that since the glass so was far inset that they had to make sure the laser head didn't go back...
I have a UPS backup on my engraving computers, but I am looking for some advice on a battery backup for my engraving machine. We have a GCC Spirit 40 Watt machine, and here in Florida we can get a...
I just got a 100 Watt chinese laser. I am in Florida working in an non-air conditioned warehouse. The temperate gets up to around 85-90 and the humidity about the same. I am getting condensation on...
Thank you. For 1/4" material that is around 24x18" in width, do you suggest anything other than plywood? What would provide the least char?
Hi there.
I have a 40 watt GCC Spirit CO2 laser engraver and I am trying to cut through 1'4 plywood.
The problem I am having are the burnt edges of the cuts, they get all over your hands and...
I am looking for some really inexpensive bases for acrylic edgelite designs I am working on. I've seen a bunch on Alibaba, but don't want to import hundreds of them. Any local supplier you know of...
So I looked at the Gravo machines. I couldn't see any examples of them really engraving on glass, and haven't seen how detailed they can be. They did seem fast, but the bed size seemed really...
I have a question regarding how to scale up your business. We do a lot of laser engraving and have two engraving machines:
Mercury 25 Watt
Spirit 40 Watt
The two mediums we are engraving on...
So I purchased a 2 year old, perfect condition GCC Spirit 40W machine. The tech from the engraving company updated the firmware and when I send something to the machine it will engrave fine, but...
I have been getting into doming and have a Canon PRO-10 ink jet printer. If I print on Canon high gloss paper and dome I have no problem. However I am trying to make stickers and I can't seem to...
