    Late to the party but I'll give my short and sweet sales pitch on EVs.

    If you're looking to buy a new car, at least look at them and run the numbers. With the incentives out there, certain EVs...

    There's no doubt that both methods have their place. The reason I like the method I did was: Most of the brass I engrave is .016 or .02. To get a dark / annealed mark puts a lot of heat in the...

    I posted in the other post Kev just made, but just a quick post to touch base. I always intended on getting Lightburn. I installed it last week and got some of the job done over the weekend. It...

    I really haven't had the time to play with the fiber like I would like. All my extra time in the shop has been working on fixing a big sign which failed a couple of weeks back. I had it made from a...

    Would you mind sending that EZCad file? My laser appears to be moving much slower than that. I'd like to do a like for like comparison to see if it's something on my EZCad configuration's side.
  7. Fiber Laser Initial Impressions: It's slower than people suggest

    My biggest take away, the speed can be massively exaggerated. The vast majority of videos posted are sped up 4-20x making the machines look as if they're flying. The reality is, I've found it to be...

    So I didn't see your post Kev. I'll try those settings tomorrow. I tried 250mm/sec, 38 power, and 25hz tonight and it was close to being as good as the settings I listed above but not quite as...

    It's a 50W JPT power source. I picked the 300x300 because of the curve of the flask. Didn't want to have focal issues as things went "out of focus" with the 200x200 lens.

    The power was 30% and...

    I got the fiber in yesterday. So far, I'm relatively underwhelmed, but it takes me time to warm to new equipment.

    I'm engraving some bare SS flasks on it and I'm getting a good mark, but the...

    To add a bit of closure, I ended up ordering a 50W JPT Fiber laser from China. It was about $1200 cheaper that way and theoretically should only take a few days longer to ship vs buying from eBay or...
  12. Excuse to buy a Fiber Laser? 400 Exterior Stainless Tags

    I've been looking for an excuse to buy a fiber laser.

    For those of you running them every day, if you had to do 400 pieces of 316SS with 3-5 characters, approximately 3/4" tall x 2.5"w, would you...

    I'm not 100% up on the latest battery info, but I think ultimately they're going to have to be willing to address the batteries at a cellular level. It will probably be handled like any other...

    I'm not an electrician but 2 hots with a ground is "standard" 240V. You need the common for certain devices, like a dryer or stove because some of the components run on 120V and the common allows...

    Charging speed is important, but frankly, it's more about convincing non-EV owners than convincing current EV owners. Most EV owners know that charging is done at home, overnight. It's simple,...

    14-50 is the most popular receptacle type. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the 6-50 plug type either. The 14-50 plug type was adapted because it was seen as a bit more universally used...

    I have 3 EVs (2 Bolts & 1 Niro) and a traditional hybrid in our family. We got the EVs back in July so I haven't gone through a NJ winter with them yet, but if anyone has any questions, have at it....

    I use solid, 100% black, no half tones. I use wet "newspaper" packing material I get from JDS as my buffer. I get the same result whether it's cheap glass or "expensive" crystal.

    Here are only...

    1. I laser all my glass and crystal using the wet "newspaper" style packing paper. I've tried most/all the other methods. My experience is, none are better. My etch is very smooth, consistent and...

    Thanks for the feedback. Not exactly what I wanted to hear. I was hoping it could do a bit more double duty.
  22. Fiber Laser: Brass Plated Steel and Award/Trophy type Metals

    As part of a buy out of another company I ended up with a CO2 Galvo that I can't get to engrave well (previous company's work also looked like crap) and no support from the manufacturer (Focused...

    Go to Home Depot and buy a sheet of PVC. You're probably going to screw up your first sign. PVC is WAY cheaper than HDU.

    Rowmark and Gravograph likely offered this material where it was widely available 20+ years ago. It hasn't been widely available in no less than 10 years. Probably closer to 15. So either your...
