Hi Dave,

There is nothing I can add on your comment, thanks for this ! - maybe it's better for me to cancel my fiber laser order and buy some sparklers instead...a lot safer for me :D

Best...

Thanks Rob, that's a good idea!

Hi Kev,

I'll also get a few extra pairs of goggles with the laser. BTW, Is there any defined safety distance to watching without goggles ?

Best regards,
Hannu

Hi Bill and Dave,

Sorry my late answer !

And ok, I don't allow anyone to be near the laser. Hard to implement when I know my customers, but I do my best :)

Hi all, as many of you, I've also purchased fiber laser (which should arrive on the beginning of next year) and the main use for it will be marking stainless steel and aluminum. In fact, I don't have...

Ian,

Really fine work !

Hi Patric,

To me it seems that you are using exterior plywood which is very hard to cut with a laser. Have you tried the same with any other material ?

Hi Don,

Your results are magnificent. I haven't never got as fabulous results with the dog images as yours are. A couple years ago I made this on to birch veneer, which (I guess) gives a little...

Gary,

A roll of Kapton tape (25mm wide) here up north about $ 35-40,00 - great to live here in cheap country :D

I did a test with a Kapton tape and the results are quite satisfying (material is stainless steel).

Thanks Kev, I'll try (afterwards, if the customer gives me a permission, I'll post a photo of the work (or the disaster) :D

I should engrave iPhone (5SE - gold) to my client. I suppose that the back side of the phone is anodised aluminium ? Could anyone recommend some suitable settings ? - I have only a one shot to do...

Congratulations Gary!

Nice job Stan, I like it.

Hello Bert,

I found these (saved on vs8 - hope those will work).

Hi Gary,

Difficult to say about the availability in the US. I bought it from Finland (local supplier). I think it's originally made in Germany...

I tested a Marksolid 150 "white on metal". Has anyone else experimented with this stuff ? In the nature white is not as bright as you see in the picture but still it gives a quite nice contrast on...

Keith,

I think the only difference between these two materials is the glue. SCPS-2 contains a tighter glue which means you must use a more power because the glue stays tighter on the top of the...

Hi Ivan,

I use 3M SCPS 100 transfer tape all the time. Works great even with a very small details.

I found this brush from my wife makeup bag. I thinked it would be a good try to see how it works with a Thermark. Seemed to be a very good catch.. because it's so soft you can get a very smooth...

Mike,

I tested Macig Eraser and it helped a bit. Still remains a bit of residue (and it is tight)...

Bill and Roger,

About the alcohol - I can't agree more :D:D for example teeth cleaning...

Thanks Gary,

I've done as you mentioned (engraving from bottom to top). Our denatured alcohol here is called "Sinol". I use it almost daily, but even it does not help in this case. Makes me...

At the moment I'm doing Rowmark Textures (yellow/black). Cutting leaves quite a lot black residue on the top of the sheet and it is hard to clean off. Is there any easy way to clean the sheet...
