We unpacked my longtai's fitted the tubes and began engraving immediately
I followed Yarde Feng , the R&d guy at shenui to his new position at longtai..
He checked each machine before shipping , they were all aligned , square etc etc..
REALLY well made machinery for the price ... the 20w fiber he supplied was the same , unpack and run
We havent even bothered with chillers for these machines , we use a 25l bucket of water and the aquarium pumps provided , same with air assist , we havent connected the machines to our main air supply , just use the cheapo pumps that came with the machines..
As to fires..well we have had a few in the 15+ years we been running lasers despite having dedicated operators... never take them for granted.... ESPECIALLY if they are in your house.. a fire can happen in seconds...
I am on the cusp of deciding to buy a 2-3kw fibre laser cutter , 3m x 1.5m from Yarde ..must just decide whether I want to get into that side of the laser business..
A month ago I had a massive heart attack and that resulted in a quad bypass ..open heart.. so I am still recovering .. it might be too much for me to mess with a laser cutter this year..I wanted to fly to china to see Yarde and the machine in operation ..,so it will most likely be next year.. this machine will be well over $60k
5000lbs in total....
