Greg Watson's pin table!

[TAMI WILSON]

Just wanted to give a shout out to member Greg Watson. I just received the pin table that he designed, and it's a great table, a real asset to my Speedy 300. Everything fits together beautifully, easy to move in and out of the machine, and, and the pins he ended up going with are just ideal. The table fits in my 300 work space like a glove, and is very solid. Very happy! I've attached a few pictures. Thanks Greg for all the work you did in putting this together!

What are those little pins called and what are they made of?

Tami,
I think that's a question for Greg, it sounds like he designed them, and then had them fabricated. They are a perfect size & shape. The number of pins shown in the picture is only a fraction of the total number I received with my table.

Don thanks for the shout out, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and the pins that I designed are my favorite part

Here is a picture of one I made with nails. I used the laser to cut the holes. The MDF chars on first contact with the laser which then prevents further burning of the wood. This one has been in use for a year now.

Bill,

Can you show a picture of how you setup for acrylic with the tile please? I can't visualize what you're meaning and I do alot of acrylic and can use any help I can get!

Thanks!

I have used a honey comb insert on all three of my CO2 lasers so far and never felt the need for anything else. Not a honey comb made from light fixture grills but a real one. When cutting acrylic I just set up on some small ceramic tile to reduce the flash back.

No picture I just place small ceramic tile under the acrylic when I am cutting. Spaced so its not in the path of the cutting beam. Any Home Depot or the like sells, and they are cheap enough you can buy an assortment. My honey combs have been with every machine when it came, heavy steel.

So, Greg do you sell the pins and tables ??

Last I heard, he wasn't selling the tables (he just organized having them made and didn't charge profit from the whole thing, and he was talking about having the pins made and selling them, but that was about a month ago and I haven't seen anything since. He had a big response in the Trotec users group on Facebook and not much of a response here. The cost came way down, close to $100 each for the table. It was a bargain. Sorry I missed it. It turned out fantastic.

What Keith said, I don't want to break any forum rules. This was an at cost run which is why it was allowed here.
