Wife and I been doing pretty good with the vinyl cutter, sublimation press and going to the local market on sundays.

So good that we bought a new tool.

We got the 20 w laser with air assist for cutting.
LU2-4 24V LF. Long focus for better cutting and engraving
Will cut 20mm wood and 30mm acrylic. The air assist keeps the burning to a minimum and makes a cleaner cut.

It will engrave just about anything except a milk carton.

I think my 1st project is to engrave some of my AR mags.

We also got the engraving platform. Easy to put together

And the Y axis rotary roller V2. This will rotate round object in conjunction with the laser

On back order is the air pump and the metal enclosure with rear draw fan.
 
Very nice post up some of your creations you make with it
 
Finally got the laser together. Instructions were very lame so i had to watch a vid on assembly. I got the program lightburn to run the laser, sorta a learning curve.

You'll be cranking out all kinds of cool stuff before long with those
 
Thanks

I gotta figure out the light burn software......OUI
 
Got a Worx working table for the laser and a square of s4s .

I'm still working with the software. Both Light Burn and lasergrbl.

Lasergrbl seems to be more user friendly.
