Kev and Tony,
thank you both!! I’ll try both ideas! I’d love for the laser to get rid of the burr and eliminate that step of deburring! I just haven’t been lucky yet finding the right parameters!...

Hi,
does anyone have any quick ways to remove burs from edges of letters after deep engraving on metal? I’ve given up playing with the hatch and parameters. No matter what I have tried, it’s still...

Jestes,
that looks really nice!! Do you know how long it took for you to anneal the graphic?

Kev,
Wow, that’s great that you are so busy! I started metal stamping pet tags, keyrings, bracelets and a few other small items on Etsy. 3 years ago I was doing great and bought the laser to be able...

402299This is a pic. Sorry it came up sideways! It’s a 30w fiber laser and it’s a Bodor. It’s virtually brand new. I bought it from an engraving company in Florida last June. The laser is enclosed...

I suppose you are right. But, not being in a position to manufacture parts, I have to buy already made parts. I think this fiber laser of mine is amazing but very challenging for me. I’ve tried deep...

402148So, I was able to fiber laser this tag in 7 seconds! It is definitely the quickest way to make a pet tag. Before , I was deep engraving aluminum, then polishing and then inking. Or, I was...

Will give it a go!! Thanks again Gary!

Gary,
i actually found a few tags that Frank sent me last year. I never tried them on my fiber laser. I just did many tries and found the last w’s on right got pretty white. The W in right...

Wow, that’s great to know because I know Frank from chewbarka. Small world!! Before I bought my fiber laser, I almost bought a refurbished gravograph machine from him. He seems like a great guy!!...

Gary,
not sure when I’ll get up your way but I sure appreciate the offer for some tutoring!! Lord knows I need it!😊
Kev has put me on to some parameters ( that you showed him) to help me find an...

Kev,
yep, I’m at my laser, changing up the settings just a tad. It’s pretty close to your settings. What’s crazy is that there are SO MANY variables that can totally change things. If I don’t write...

Kev,
so the top text I did with the black hatch at 60 speed and all else as you suggested. Bottom text I did at 50 speed.
The top one seemed to burn a bit around edges more than the bottom...

Kev,
awesome! Thanks so much! I’ll try it first thing tomorrow! Very kind of you to write that all out!!😊
hey I’d love to see a pic of this if you get time!
Thanks again and I’ll let you know how...

Yes, I haven’t done anything with anodized aluminum but maybe it’s something to look into. I guess it would definitely be quicker than trying to anneal or trying to deeply engrave stainless steel. Do...

Gary,
yes that is the trouble I’m running into. I sell pet tags, keyrings Jewelry and it’s such a competitive market. Also, some people sell their items so cheap online that it’s been hard to...

John,
Thanks! I don’t have the contour checked. I’m open to trying all kinds of different ways to get a smooth dark mark. I’ll definitely try your suggestions from tykma. I guess it’s all about...

Gary,
I SO appreciate your candor! I saved up quit a long time to purchase my fiber laser. I was doing hand metal stamping before and the laser opened up an opportunity to possible do logos, my own...

Oh boy, it’s always something! All I’d like to achieve is a nice darkened, smooth and deep engraved metal piece. Seems like ever metal or every parameter I try, there’s something that seems to not go...

does anyone have experience with fiber laser engraving on both 316 and 304 stainless steel? I know 316 is more expensive but I wonder if it deeply engraves better, leaving less of a rough edge? I’m...

400311Thanks! I just used your parameters and got this result! It’s a small 2.5mm letter and it took me 1:42 seconds. I did 2 passes. I have a crosshatch feature but I kept it turned off and just did...

Kev,
Thanks! Your pics of your name look really good! Do you use Ezcad and if so would you mind sharing the parameters you used. How many hatches and how many loops, speed, frequency etc.
thanks...

Hi,
I have attached two pics. It’s a stainless steel piece and I have deep engraved and annealed on it. The First pic is in direct sunlight ( the annealed letter t on the right is almost invisible)....

Wow that’s crazy! I never would have thought to put the copper in the freezer. How did you even think about giving that a try? I’ll give it a try... thanks!

I believe its 290mm focal lens. So maybe the beam isn’t small enough to handle copper. That’s frustrating!
