I recently took delivery of a 700W fiber laser and had decent success overall cutting stainless and cold rolled steel. I've been able to cut intricate patterns on 1.3mm stainless steel with relative...
I'm importing a 700w laser and it's taken me about 10 days since it hit customs. Few more days after that for delivery.
Michael, thank you for the info! I'm new to the whole gas thing, so when you say a 50L bottle is it similar to the tank with 55 under it on this link? I was told to get a tank similar to the...
I recently purchased a 700W fiber laser cutter and my seller said I need to purchase 10 tanks each of oxygen and nitrogen so I'll have plenty of gas when the engineer comes out to set up my machine. ...
500mm/s, 100% power (20W), 200KHz, .001mm hatch. I've tried other hatches, but .001mm is the only setting I could find that got me a solid black color.
Awesome pictures. Thank you, Kev!
Kev, could you show me what you mean by diamond etch/full cut bright?
$40k?! Wowzas. Definitely makes more sense for me to buy another Fiber vs. spend $40k on a Speedy. I appreciate the info!
Thank you for the info, Gary. Any idea ballpark $ figure what I'd be looking at for a Trotec Speedy setup? I think I saw those are ~$20k?
I bought a 20w MOPA fiber laser from China last year and have had a blast figuring it out and making pieces of jewelry for my online business. I mark on stainless steel and my objective is to get a...
Good idea, but I think mine is set up correct. All of the screws are tight. I just don't feel like the laser is firing and I find it hard to believe I've gotten two faulty lasers.

I have tried this to no avail.
Quick update. I received a brand new laser and board. I installed both and unfortunately got the same result -- no marks. UGH! Still at a loss of what else to try.
On an interesting note,...
They are paying for return shipping. About $200.
Spoke with the manufacturer and they are requesting I send the laser back as it appears to be faulty. Will hopefully have an update within the next couple weeks when they send me a new laser and I...

Scott, I tried as you suggested and still didn't get a mark on 304. I attached a picture of my settings. I lowered the galvo from the highest it could go to the lowest (just a few mm away from...
This video is more or less exactly what I've tried along with setting speed to 11.81 inches (Gary said 300mm, but I changed my preferences to inches), power to 100, and frequency to 30. I changed...
Gary, Thank you for the quick response. I did as you suggested, but to no avail. It's as if the power on my laser isn't strong enough to make a mark. Are there some other settings that I may have...
Hi everybody. Long time listener, first time caller.
I just took ownership of a 20W Chinese JPT fiber laser. I've owned a CNC hobby machine in the past so I didn't fear the learning curve with...
