Using a ShopSabre Router + Laser to Create a Turtle

- Creating wood projects is easier than ever with CNC technology. We even added an option that allows you to combine routing and laser engraving into one project. In this video we used a 6 Watt OPT Laser to engrave the details, and bits from Vortex Tools to V-Bit the letters and cut out the turtle.

Audio level on music is great for hearing impaired. Neighbors really liked it.
Ha, hopefully there will one day be a way to turn down speakers. Thanks for checking the video out.
love it!
Thanks!
I really like what the laser did but it would be kind of cool to see a compare-and-contrast between using the laser like you did vs. doing ALL vcarve.
Something to think about - they both have different advantages - Carving tends to be quicker as many times you can run higher speeds but this just gives a different detail level.
Dammit…now I wish that I would have opted for the laser option on my IS510. I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to add at a later date.
Contact your sales guy, in most cases it can be retrofit
what was the actual cut time for this project
To be honest, I can’t recall but it wasn’t too bad actually
Did you have to add the laser module software upgrade for vcarve to create tool paths?
Yes you do
can this (laser) be added to sidekick?
No it cannot unfortunately
Is that telescoping arm the standard when you purchase the opt laser option? In the retracted position, is that enough clearance for the dust dock and ATC?
That arm is called a “slide” and it has a cylinder that raises and lowers the the Opt Laser. Think of an “active” position where the laser is lowered for use and an “inactive” position where the laser is raised out of the way. This lets you combine routing and laser in the same program. The slide is part of the Opt Laser option on IS and Pro models … it is not used on SS and RC models. There is a retrofit option that allows you to add the Opt Laser to your existing ShopSabre CNC.
The Z assembly for the Opt Laser is only on select models with select options. Generally there is enough room with an ATC & Dust Dock and the Slide would be used in this scenario.
Can the laser be added to the pro 408?
Give our parts department a call and they can discuss your setup to confirm
When/why do you use arc curves vs. bezier curves?
This is based on vectric programming and the file we brought it. Arc curves are common for CNC programming
@@shopsabre Yes but I'm asking why you chose to do arcs instead of bezier. There's a reason both exist in vcarve, but is there a specific reason why you would want to use one over the other?
Cody, Bézier curves are what I refer to as “handle bar” curves because in the node editor in Vcarve Pro you shape the curve by moving the ends of the handle bars. The result is “organic” shapes rather than “mechanical” shapes (lines, arcs, circles). There are only three cutting shapes available in G-Code, straight line (G01), arc right (G02), or arc left (G03). Since a Bézier curve is an organic shape, Vcarve Pro generates a series of tiny straight line moves (G01). Each one of those straight line moves requires a line (block) of code in the G-Code program. The programs can be very long. By converting the Bézier curve to tangent lines and arcs before generating G-Code, the length of the programs are much shorter since an arc is a single line of code just as a line is a single line of code. The difference can be substantial … the process may be reduced from 1000 lines of code to 100 lines of code! You will not be able to tell the difference in the finished parts!
what watt is the laser
6 watt
