My LS900 sucks smoke out so well I tend to forget all about cleaning the lens and mirrors. Remembered yesterday that it's been awhile. Pulled the lens, almost perfectly clean. The top mirror had a hint of haze, the side mirror on this thing never gets dirty...
The GCC 'appears' to have a good exhaust system but the poorly designed exhaust port that's supposed to distribute negative airflow evenly across 38" of table, doesn't. It withdraws smoke in the cabinet rather quickly, but not before the smoke turbulates EVERYWHERE inside the cabinet first. Every day I have to clean the lens and 3 mirrors, because they're filthy after engraving a sq. ft's worth of Rowmark. The smoke from Cermark is almost as bad. The BIL and me are- when time permits- going to pull the back door off the cabinet, replace it with a piece of cardboard with a 4" hole and just let the unobstructed vent pipe suck the smoke out. It WILL work 1000% better
The Triumph is so huge inside, and while air will pass plenty easily thru a honeycomb table, the table itself prevents any common airflow path from occurring, so the smoke just drifts around mostly aimlessly until it finally does find what little moving air there is. A bigger blower might help both machine, but a blower bigger enough to actually work well in the Triumph I'd have to steal from the car wash
The GF in that video REALLY needs more exhaust power that is obviously being used...

I spent 8 hours cutting 1/8 BB ply a week ago and had to clean the lens four times. Yesterday, I again did an 8 hour stint cutting ply and only had to clean the lens once (well, twice, because I cleaned it the second time when I finished cutting, just to be sure it was alright). Some batches of BB are horribly smoky and resinous (brownish stains left on the wood) and some very little smoke and resin. Wish I knew how to tell the difference before purchasing...
I get little if any smoke when cutting Baltic Birch its all sucked out from underneath. If I see any smoke I know I'm not cutting all the way thru and make the necessary adjustments. When I raster its from bottom to top, most the smoke is drawn away from the lens.

seems a few GF's were delivered last week...sadly 80% arrived either non working or plain busted. (glass tubes in the mail don't work well)
Looking at the spreadsheet in the GF group I help run of 398 people who are promised a machine last month and who responded, 29 have been delivered (8 of them faulty)
You did what !

Dont know about his math but I was a video of one running, and the next vid was a faulty machine. Oops. I bet they don't like those being posted. They are delivering some. I know they touted their packaging, but there are a lot of gorillas working for the shipping companies! Ive seen some packages that I truly wondered how they damaged them as bad as they do!
I cast my own bullets for some of my guns and purchase lead mainly reclaimed from ranges and from wheel weights. Yes, there is a good market for clean lead. You can ship priority mail up to 70 pounds in medium flat rate box. 65 pounds of lead fits perfectly. But you'd better tape up and double box it or it would make it!

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
