Howdy all.
I have been running a 30w q switched RF laser for the last year. Learned a ton and did a lot of deep engraving. Most of my work is on guns and I need to go deeper faster. I spoke to...

I'll pm you the Rayfine quote I got a few months ago. I am looking at the 100w MOPA model to allow me to cut deeper faster.

RayFine charged me $50 for my last lens I purchased from them. I went with a 300mm and was not happy compared to my 160mm. Tried it a few times and took it off.

I have three of these that I arranged to clamp different sized objects. When...

I thought of this exact thing. It's a 110°F outside and I am pumping all that nice 70°F air out and bringing hot air in. I wasn't sure how I would plumb it in. I'm not quite ready to put an 8 in...

Do you have independent output selected in the layer parameters? Try that if its unselected.

Try a different hatch type to remove those lines.

We have a really small hardware store. But ill check!

Thanks, Ive been playing with cutting other materials. I just dont have brass to test with. I figured more people have tried it out. Ill get some ordered first chance i get!

I have been wanting to make brass machine plates that is all the rave on youtube right now. They use acid baths, cnc mills, and a few other techniques. I think I could do the engraving, drill holes...

I have a 100w co2 and do every color the same, 40pwr, 500mms, and .08 line distance. Everytime I finish a cup, i give it a quick scrub with magic eraser and 80% alcohol. havent had a problem with it...

Each side was 5 passes w crosshatch at spd 500 pwr 100 and frq 28 then followed up by 1 annealing pass 3000 30 65 on the 30w. That was the raw pistol in that pic. These are after sand blasting and...

30w rayfine galvo fiber. I am happy to share any of my settings with anybody interested in firearm engraving.

I clean up my laser engraving on powdercoat with iso alcohol on a magic eraser. Works really good. Candy powdercoat I have to use a microfiber cloth and alcohol. It scratches really easy.

i run my 100w at only 40% power and do two passes. My buddy works for a shop that has a really old 30w and he can take up to 6 passes. I had problems with my rotary not lining up on second pass and...

Playing with scroll work.

I'm running a 30w.

This was my first thought with the tariffs.

I contacted Rayfine about a new lens for me. I need a 200x200 so I can do complete pistol slides. They told me $150 plus $50 shipping. I figured I etch at .02 line distance, I can just drop it down...

I just wanted to drop this link in. I do not think 80% lowers are anything more than a fancy piece of metal or plastic. I do not believe they require a FFL to engrave on, unless you are attempting to...

I used Polar Camels, but the last 3 cases I ordered, none of the lids fit. I still have a full case of them I threw back in storage due to the lids. (JDS did say they would send me new lids, but I...

Do you have any words of wisdom that you would mind departing with? I bought my fiber laser just to do stippling
Ive been to scared to try it yet!

I bought sheet stock but havent found a use other than to test on. You have any uses you found for it you can talk about?

Awesome, I have their 30w q-switched fiber. I almost upgraded to the MOPA but I cheaped out. I have yet to actually find anything thin enough to cut out. I will have to pick some of that material...
