    I hate to bump an old thread, but I'm wanting to confirm, when lasering with the door opened or with a completely open CO2 (10.6 micrometers) system, standard polycarbonate safety glasses that you...

    The Synrad FH flyer series. They're mainly used on production lines, but can be used for what we do as well. I found one used, in great shape at an industrial equipment auction. I'm concerned though...
  5. Is it possible to add the red laser outline preview to a CO2 galvo?

    The title kind of explains it all. I'm curious to know if it's possible to add a red laser preview, like the ones you see in fiber lasers, to a CO2 galvo? It's not native to the system, so I don't...
  6. Why can't we get this? Trotec, Epilog, you listening?

    I find this topic fascinating and I know robotic arm fibers exist for cutting tube metal. This is a half serious topic, but I am genuinely interested if we'll ever see something like this offered in...

    Haha, I guess I could have been clearer. It was a hypothetical. If the software is simply a path to the laser, would it be possible to use another software than EZCad to drive the laser? Like light...

    Bill, with that said, what's stopping you from using, say, Job Control, to drive another laser? Is it coded a certain way to prevent it?

    Well, I agree, a huge increase in speed would be a big deal. Gotta keep justifying that Speedy name.

    Thanks Scott. The reason I question it is I've found options to buy everything separately, and very decently priced, but I'm scared for the reason you brought up. Another hypothetical. I have access...
  11. How hard would it be to build a galvo? Where ya at Kev and Matt Knott?

    What would I need to build a galvo?


    Scanhead
    Laser source
    Driver
    Software


    Other items I question are the laser dots for focus, is that native to most machines or something that can...

    Any specifics? We all know lasers have been generally unchanged for a long time. I see a few interesting features like the status bar on the cover, but nothing earth shattering. Aesthetically, it's a...

    Man, it's crazy looking at how intricate that laser cut that card. I don't know why I'm so much fonder on my fiber galvo, but I love watching it work. Same with that CO2 galvo. I forget you're in...

    Kev, you truly are a Guinea pig.

    That's awesome, Jit! You need to upload a video when you get it so we can see it in action. For cutting, a CO2 galvo just doesn't "cut it", but how about strictly engraving? That's all I'm wanting to...

    Right, the spot size increases which affects the detail, right? I'm still leaning toward the galvo because I won't be cutting, won't be engraving large items, and they are faster. I'd love to build...

    That's not very encouraging considering the one I looked at, and wanted, has the 300mm lense. I'm still interested in one, strictly for engraving, but I'm still afraid of the loss of detail on an...

    Ok I need some help understanding photo-chemical etching. If I'm wanting to cut straight through a piece of sheet metal, I use resist on one side, remove the resist are needing to be cut, then spray...

    Congrats Kev! That is a tiny machine though. :D I love the Gravograph galvo fiber, and would love to have a need to buy one. They are awesome. What's the max engraving dimensions for that machine?

    Man, I'm looking at both chemical and electro etching, and first glaring thing, I don't see anyone using it to fully cut sheet metal. Maybe it's just not heavily discussed. Second, there aren't any...

    Thanks Brennan. I noticed in reading a few articles, most don't recommend chemical etching out of the home based business due to the toxic chemicals used. However, I see electro etching mentioned....
