I compare a typical air assist that comes with a CO2 laser etcher/cutter with an air compressor. I show the difference in scorching left behind as well as any differences in the ability to cut 1/4 ply.

    Hello, excellent. Please, the diameter of the hole of your laser head is 2 mm? Because it is not the same for connecting devices and it affects the secondary pressure.

    Excellent video. I'm about to add the same compressor to my 100W laser. The difference in scorch is worth the effort to me. Your vid reinforces this to me. One suggestion. Turn your phone sideways and you'll get an easier to view video.

    Great VIdeo, and how you show everyone the setup. The only thing I say is missing is a shut off valve so the air doesnt keep pushing out when you are done. I added mine at the connector to the compressor.

You mentioned yo have a box - I will call it the laser tube extension shroud. where did you get it. I don't see it as an accessory on the omtech web site.

    The cheapo pump that came with my laser died within 3 days, but I had a little airbrush compressor that worked pretty well, but I am still getting more scorching than you are with 15 or 30 psi. I wonder if I should get a tank for the compressor to fill so I can get a greater airflow?

  • @spaminacan4u
    @spaminacan4u 2 года назад

    good video, bad layout. bit of advice though. First, the compressor has a regulator, so unless yours is broken, there's no need for a 2nd one at the head. Second, if you're going to run a moisture trap like that, place it closest to the tool, not the source. The air hasn't had a chance to condense as much at the head as it's still quite hot. You'll find it serves a far better purpose closest to the tool. With that said, those California Air Tools compressors rock. I used one for years for airbrushing and it's very quiet. You can hold a conversation easily while it is running. I just finished setting up a 60w co2 laser and ran a regulator/trap on the side of the machine and am feeding it off my 80g monster compressor. This helps me get an idea of some settings for the psi to run at for sure. Thanks much!

  • @musabaybek1957
    @musabaybek1957 2 года назад

    Thanks for your information, it's very helpful. I'd like to ask, what happens if you run the compressor approximately for an hour. Is the compressor capable of filling itself during that 1 hour cut, can it provide air without stopping? Or do you need better compressor with a larger air volume. Thanks in advance..

  • @afbigfish1
    @afbigfish1 2 года назад

    Im super new to laser cutting but it seems like there should have been a little more power for the cutting. Also with that long skinny coil hose if you have 30psi at the regulator before the hose you will have considerable pressure drop at the laser. Id be guessing closer to 20psi.

  • @6r4metroman

  • @makertime6296
    @makertime6296 2 года назад

    Nice comparison! Is that the 60W machine? How do you like it? Looking at getting the 55W. At 30ish psi how much is that compressor running? Have heard they do not hold up if running close to continuous.

    • @MaikaiGuy
      @MaikaiGuy 2 года назад

      I've had it run for well over an hour on a long job. My usual jobs are 20 minutes or less. If you have long jobs in mind, I'd get a larger compressor with more CFM. At 10psi (used for etching) it is off more than it's one and I have no concern about it. At 30psi, it's on more than it's off and I wouldn't go for hours like that.
