Unfortunately that's a tad over my budget right now. Accuracy and speed of the actual machine are fine for now, but the download speed and software bugginess are the real issues (more like...

It just looks like a ton of tiny lines because it's zoomed out. It's all single lines and curves. I do use unite lines to make it cut the full outlines and not each side of a shape individually. What...

The work I'm doing is designed in Rhino 5 and is mainly spline curves and lines. This is an example of the complexity. It probably looks like a mess, but it's one section of a larger art...

The work I do involves large complex files that can take up to 8-10 minutes to upload to the laser, and I sometimes even have to run the job as two separate jobs because the file size is too large. I...

Hi all,

I may be overthinking this, but I'm going to be moving to a workshop space, as my little 1 car garage is getting VERY cramped for space and my exhaust filtration system isn't cutting it...

As the others have said, I would go with a more well known manufacturer. I purchased from G.Weike and have had no problems. I don't know what they charged for the rotary or the honeycomb table...

I think the new ones come with both the knife table and honeycomb bed. Mine's got the knife table bolted on, and the honeycomb sits on the knives. It also has a little drawer that catches any small...

I've got an 80w 6090 GWeike machine. I've only had it about 2 months, but besides some of my own mess-ups it's run perfect.

1. Everything I ordered was there when I received the machine.
2. I...

The code my broker used for importing was 8456.10.8000

The key is to buy directly from a manufacturer, not a sketchy dealer on eBay or AliExpress. I ordered a G.Weike laser back in October which I received in December and it had all the extras I ordered...

I would definitely try loosening the small belt and see if that helps.

My guess would be that with no secondary reduction gear, any slop will be more obvious. With a reduction gear, slop would be...

I'm thinking ambient temps may have been a factor for me as well, as the last two days have been around 20F and the garage is not heated. Likely the tension was a bit tight from the factory, but the...

I actually may have fixed it. With the machine turned off I moved the laser head by hand and it seemed to have a lot of resistance compared to the y axis, so I loosened the tension a tiny bit between...

There is some thick yellowish grease from the factory, whatever that stuff is. I've only had the machine a month, if that helps anything.

This recently started happening with my G.Weike laser. https://youtu.be/ef3a66eIQdc
I can't identify where exactly the noise is coming from, because the noise itself is coming from the whole machine...

I've got a Chinese 80w laser, and it came with an ammeter, with a sticker next to the ammeter saying not to exceed 24mA or it could damage the tube.
The specs I've found for the tube are:

I assume he means something like this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-6-in-Damper-D-6/100396929

For me it would be installed in the starting collar on my filter box. If you have no place...

Unfortunately, my DC can't be speed controlled, so I may have to double or tripple up on the pre-filter to add some in-line resistance. I'll see about getting a higher MERV pre-filter as well.

The filter has only been in use for about 2 weeks, and this was the first time I've run plexi. It probably only has about 18 hours of wood smoke and ~15 minutes of plexi fumes through it. I'm...

I'm having issues as well. My system is running in this order: Laser>MERV 12 Furnace Filter>18"x18"x4" Bed of carbon> HEPA Filter>1.5HP dust collector motor. When running wood it gets most of the...

My setup has a house furnace filter as a pre-filter, then a bed of charcoal, then HEPA. I went from 2" of charcoal to 3" and added a second furnace filter, which seems to have helped. Right now I'm...

I just finished building a filter system with an attached baffle box for noise control. It turned out even quieter than I had expected. With the door of the laser open, the sound of the air rushing...

The reason for that is it is an induction motor, which cannot be speed controlled. Most dust collector motors are this type, with (I think) the red Harbor Freight model being an exception. I...

Does anyone know if the Shop Fox W1685 1.5hp DC can be used on a router speed controller? The specs claim 1,280 CFM and a Max of 10" SP. It would be great to be able to use that and dial back the...

So I take it the Vortex 10" VTX1000 would not be good enough? ~300CFM at 2"?

I may just go ahead and get a 1HP dust collector motor and build a "floating box within a box" soundproof enclosure. It...
