Would a new aluminum radiator work as a "honeycomb" table?

Adrian

I want to make replacement VIN plates for antique cars. I have figured out the acid etching but the masking ... not so much. My laser will engrave the pattern in spray paint but it could be crisper....

I think I would be more inclined(see what I did there?) to make one on my laser cutter. BTW after living with the laser for a while I am glad I bought the fixed table. Setting the focus is extremely...

I have a compressor like the one linked in post #4. It is inadequate for cutting plywood. I get much better cuts with my 5 hp shop compressor hooked to the laser. I have no idea how many CFM my laser...

Thanks Dave. I suppose the air jet works best close to the work as well. I'll just have to be more careful.

Adrian

Thank you for the info.

I'm not sure what is involved with the focal length. Mine is 63.5mm or 2.5". I have to set my lens tube 6mm from my work surface. Do different focal lengths allow more...

My laser is working fine but I scratched the focus lens cleaning it. It seems to work fine but I would like to have a spare in case I totally trash it next time I clean it. I see lenses for sale on...

Well... I ordered the machine with a fixed table. It has arrived and I'm learning to use it. I have been cutting 1/8" to 1" material and focusing it with the plastic spacer provided and the lens...

In the winter, vent it inside. In the summer, vent it outside. (In Canada at least)

Adrian

Agree with Robert on the replacement air. It would be a good idea to install a 4" or bigger air duct from outside to feed the laser... rather than suck it in through random cracks and holes in the...

If there is any condensate it might fill your light socket. Maybe move it to the side of the box? The filters must be very expensive... it looks like you should get change from 200 bucks.

Adrian

Yup. And you can't just aim it at the CW3000 and have anything useful happen.

Adrian

I tried to order some but everyone is out of stock...

Adrian

Well... I asked my Chinese sales lady. She had no idea. I think it was a translation error that somehow went viral amongst the various laser manufacturers. Not wanting to risk selling a machine that...

Years ago I built a wood drying kiln. I used a dehumidifier as a heat source and to remove the water. The kiln itself was a box made of 2" styrofoam built over the stickered pile of wood. I just...

Way to go Walt! Simple, cheap, effective and you get your workshop air conditioned to boot.

Adrian

What attracts me about using a $100 5000btu air conditioner and a CW3000 chiller is that it has twice the BTU cooling ability of the CW5000 chiller for half the cost. You still get the CW3000's...

I will ask my Chinese laser sales lady tonight. It's a common claim for the industry.

Adrian

Dave may be onto something...

A 5000 btu window air conditioner is more powerful than a CW5000 chiller with about twice the cooling capacity. Someone should try it. I will when my laser gets here. I ordered the CW3000 and intend...

Buy a cheep 5000 BTU air conditioner at Walmart and aim it at the intake of the CW3000?

Adrian

And why would you want to laser cut it? I see it listed as one of the things you can cut with a laser cutter but Google turned up nothing. I gots to know!

Adrian

Thanks for sharing Kev!

Adrian

I have to pick one of these for my new laser. Near as I can tell both controllers do the same thing but the 6332 is a 3 axis and the 6442 is a 4 axis controller.
Ruida lists the internal memory at...

Water freezes solid at 9 Fahrenheit. Did you mean 9 Celsius?

Adrian

I'm going to order the machine with a moving table.
