What lens did you use for this? I also have a 50W machine and am thinking about giving this a try. I have a 200mm lens and a 150mm lens, but I saw a comment on another video saying it's best to use a 70mm or 110mm lens for slide cuts like this, but that doesn't seem right to me... I know you get far more concentrated power with smaller lenses like that, but you also get a VERY narrow depth of field where the lens is in focus, so wouldn't the laser go out of focus quickly with a small lens as it gets a millimeter or two deep into the metal during the cut? And you can't really adjust the Z height mid cut to bring it back into focus either because it changes where the laser is hitting so it wouldn't be cutting in the same groove anymore if you do that...
I just keep adjusting the z height to put it in focus. you can use a larger lens, it will take longer but it still wont cut straight down as the laser head is a fixed point.
@@morenobrazilianjiujitsu721 Hit Amazon and look for a 50 watt with a Raycus source. They all come from China and are all the same thing. There might be minor differences on the machine case. Expect to spend around $5500.
I have a video up on where to order your custom slides from him Where his websites are as well as prices for people sending slides in The video is called "24k Egyptian Glock 19 gen 3 slide" This Is The First Egyptian Glock
Yes, your 30 could do this with the right set up and parameters. It would just take a little bit longer. It took me with a 50w about 40 mins for each hole.
I have 2 blower fans sucking the fumes straight outside so that I hopefully don't breathe any of the fumes. This ls an enclosed laser as well so the fumes don't have much of a chance escaping the ventilation hose.
What model laser are you using? Thanks in advance!
which Lens & settings were used for these cuts?

@@luxuryFirearmservices1911 You use a telecentric lens or f-theta lens?
@@sto2779 f-theta
Does this not effect the shape of the cut when you move the z axis?@@luxuryFirearmservices1911
What fiber laser are you using?
What lens are you using?
Stupid question??? Does these fiber lasers require a water cooler like the CO2 machines...
No, no cooler required.
how long did it take to cut through the slide?
40 minutes each hole.
@@luxuryFirearmservices1911 could you recommend a a laser product or share the model number used for this?

@@Arstine would a 100 or 150 watt laser cut faster and/or cleaner?
@@felipeserpa6055 I only have experience with my 30 and 50 watt units so I can't say about cleaner but a higher wattage would definitely be faster.
What settings are you using to cut like this?
Hey can I send my upper to my g2 I want 3 holes on both sides and one on the top

Nice work. I wonder if my 30W fiber laser can do the same? How long did this take?
Yes, your 30 could do this with the right set up and parameters. It would just take a little bit longer. It took me with a 50w about 40 mins for each hole.
@@luxuryFirearmservices1911 can you share the settings?
@@luxuryFirearmservices1911 please 🙏
Did you get your 30 Watt to cut out a slide?
👀👀
Do you worry that burning the nylon releases cyanide and other dangerous fumes and traces on the grip?
I have 2 blower fans sucking the fumes straight outside so that I hopefully don't breathe any of the fumes. This ls an enclosed laser as well so the fumes don't have much of a chance escaping the ventilation hose.
@@luxuryFirearmservices1911 thanks for replying. How do you handle post-engraving cleanup of the lowers to remove any traces?
Really nice the work on the p80, I always end burning the polymer with the 50w laser. Do you have a patreon?
I don't at the moment. I might make one eventually.
super fucking cool
🤘😎🤘
You must have Federal Firearms License huh? Lucky you.
I just bought a 50 watt jpt laser,do you think its capable of this?
Yes, I use a 50w.
