- After many questions on my previous video of this machine, I decided to answer as many as I could remember in this video.
Nose was a bit blocked up so scuse the lack of breath in some parts. I hope this covers peoples questions on this machine, but if not just ask away in the comments and I'll reply there, or do another vid.
I have had the same machine for 2yrs now so I will add to your review. It is a very well made machine, and has made me lots of money. I do not use it for continuous production every day, but I probably use it 3-5 hours per week on average. I have never used a chiller. I have a 5 gallon bucket of water and the most I have run the machine continuously is about 2hrs, with no appreciable heating of the water. After a few months, I took the flying head lens assembly apart for the first time for cleaning and found it had a bunch of metal shavings on the lens inside from manufacturing. After cleaning these out it had a lot more power (as yo can imagine). I am still using the original laser tube, which surprises me. I was expecting to have to replace it by now. I too have made a removable grid for cutting, and I really like your add-on aiming laser. The side mounted aiming laser dot moves off center as you raise and lower the head. It can only aim accurately at the pre-set focal point. The other add-on I would recommend is some additional internal lighting. The flourescent light in back looks like the type you can daisy chain additional lights off of. I think its just a standard under counter light like you'd put under a kitchen cabinet. I have only used the rotary attachment a couple times. It is meant for equally cylindrical items only. To do a non-cylindrical round object, you'd need to make a jig to fit the object into. I have found that certain materials seem to engrave darker with the air assist OFF. When I bought mine they were $2700 USD, but they are now on Ebay for $1200-1300 USD. I am guessing there is a glut in supply. I FULLY recommend this laser engraver, and would not hesitate to buy another.

AndTheCorrectAnswerIs will the machine do fine lettering without scorching? What do you make with it to generate revenue? Thanks.
nice video, couple of tips when cutting, cover the bed fully with some thin card or viscreen taped down around the edges then cut a mask (hole) in the area you will be working, this will increase the extraction of fumes and make for a cleaner cut, also it will help to pull gasses away from the bottom of the cut reducing the risk of fire or burning around the cut (especially if cutting acrylics), the better the extraction the better the finish on the rear of the job and can produce a straighter edge.
viscreen can also help to keep the back of the cut clean as the black marks stay on the viscreen not the job.
egg crate is great for cutting on but be careful as it gets very brittle over time and can burn and matk the back of materials very easily (see this a lot at work).
For people asking about cutting metals, changing the frequency and power of the beam can help to get through some lighter alloys but be very careful if experimenting in this way, a 40 watt laser splash back or reflection is very capable of blinding you, invest in a pair of laser safety glasses, the may seem expensive but what price do you put on your vision.
The stock extraction fan in this unit is pretty hopeless, been intending on replacing it with something better. It does the job but a fair few fumes still leak into the room.
As for cutting metals, it's not possible at all with only a 40W tube. You either need a very high power tube (You may be able to do very thin metals at 150W), or very high pulse power (YAG laser).
I bought the same machine two years ago and had no idea what I was doing. Everything was a learning curve. I think it would be very helpful if there was a forum for owners of this type of machine here in Australia. It would save a lot of time and angst when your trying to figure out even small issues and problems.
can u tell me where to bought this machine ?
Where did you buy this and how much did it cost?
Shkelqim Pllana I purchased it on Ebay. It cost $3000 AUD. Ithink that I paid $200.00 for delivery as well.
So far after two years, the only money I have spent on it was a new tube and a new lens, otherwise its been just fine. I use it about 10 hours per week, sometimes more. If I had to buy another laser, I would very likely buy the same machine again. Perhaps one with a bigger cutting table perhaps.
Frank Secchi can u help me please katrinah1970@gmail.com
I recently purchased a Triumph 6040 laser cutter from China for around the $5000 door to door. I am still learning to play with the settings but have had to add an extra extraction fan and a vacuum bed to hold thin material down to prevent warping. So far so good, I am hoping it stays like that. After 30 years of cutting by hand it is a pleasure to use a laser cutter. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your video as watching these have helped me understand what I needed to look for myself.
I am interested in purchasing the Triumph 6040. From your experience what do you think about it?
Uri Yehuday Hi Uri, I am not really a techno person so I only use the software on my computer to run the laser cutter and find it fairly simple to operate. It takes a bit of experimenting to get the cut you want initially using the guidelines that come with it. They all look the same really, there must be a company that makes up the frames which are heavy as hell. Yolanda the sales person responded almost immediately to any queries I initially had via email which was a relief.
I am hoping it will continue to go well, if you have it shipped it is cheaper than by air which I requested.
Clyde Woods Thanks Clyde, where can I find an extra extraction fan and a vacuum bed to hold thin material?
Uri Yehuday Hi Uri, I used the separate hexagonal bed provided and built a timber box about 80mm deep with a few supports and a 40mm outlet for my industrial vacuum cleaner to fit, adding an outlet pipe from the vacuum cleaner back into the exhaust pipe. I am sure one can spend more monies and get a vacuum that is quieter as mine is a little noisy. As far as an extra exhaust goes I have just used a heavy duty domestic bathroom number. Again for more monies there is I am sure something more appropriate and calculated. Mine works just fine. I do find that it is best to leave a small gape on the bed so that the vacuum cleaner does not over strain itself.
A few tips from a random viewer: Maybe that grounding post is good for grounding the chassis of the water pump and other stuff not naturally connected to the main chassis. I haven't actually been around a laser cutter since I was shown a steel cutting one decades ago. That one would not have fitted in your room and presumably ran on 3x400V .
Thanks for posting this. I think this is the machine I'll be aiming for shortly in the future.
Really informative. I got one yesterday - the learning curve seems a little steep so THANK YOU. And pat the dog for me!
Hi Erica, What are your overall thoughts on this machine? I am looking to get one for doing fine veneer work on furniture. Do you think it is accurate enough? Ben
Ben Culley i bought one it seem pretty good to me
You have it placed on what to the naked eye and from a bit of a distance looks like a pretty fragile little table though, you're not worried to accidentally knock or bump one of its legs from under it!
very well explained video.
Excuse me if my question has been answered before, Do you have any brand or model for your machine? I would like to buy one so i need to be sure I order the same machine. Looks good for it's price. Thanks again
Can you tell me what brand of machine you bought and the price?Did you have any problems with delivery as the machine I am looking at has delivery only to nearest port,
thank you! this is the best video ive seen explaining how this works
I have a similar machine, A few mods I made...run tape over the top seam and around the laser case, this stops a bit of the smoke leakage. I also added a rubber seal along each side of the lid (inside) the kind of stuff you use on windows. Both these things really cut down the amount of excess smoke and smell.
What sort of water cooler did you get? I've seen a cheap one which is "radiator cooling" there are others which are refrigerant coolers...thoughts between the 2 ($350 vs $600). Thanks for the video it convinced me to buy one and its been great.
i thought about using a mini fridge for the cooler then you could keep your favorite beverage cooled also!
what is the make of the machine? price..and where can I purchase?
Great review, even if a bit dated, thanks! One question: does this machine work with Lightburn run from a PC?
Hi! Thanks for posting this videos about sh 350 laser. I have an identical one, and need to reset it to it s factory settings, but it asks me for a password(not RD8888 for rdcam), but a password for the machine, wich must be entered in control panel. Any idea what that password is?
Thanks a lot, Gabriel!
Not sure, sorry. Is it maybe possible to reset the machines password from Laserwork/RDCAM? In the machine parameters?
You need an egg crate with much larger grid lines.
thank you for sharing this video!! it is so difficult to find a decent review on these. I am buying the thunder laser mars 130, I think its really similar to this one. I am wondering, will it cut out any picture you give it? so for example, if I had a picture of intricate letters in a script / elegant swirly font, will it cut that out in a jpeg file? or will I need to convert the picture into a different format for the machine?
thanks in advance!
Thank you for the invite Helen! I will be sure to join once I decide on a laser machine. It may not be for some time still, but none the less the facebook group will be mighty helpful :)
Can you tell me where you got the red laser and the mirror for the alignment option you installed?
Looks like beam combiner made by FSL: fslaser.com/beam-combiner-upgrade. Crazy expensive tho...
Hello, do you still use this machine? If so how do you like if and is it still working good? Thanks
Where is your first video?
Nice video. Thanks for the info. I knew of these machines but learned quite a bit about them from your video. I had never seen one that close. How much do these machines go for if you don't mind me asking?
the forth wire in the connecter for the stepper is the ground sleeving there is 4 wires
How did you get this thing to print from a computer? I just recieved mine yesterday, but cant get this thing to talk to windows 7, corel or work with any file types I'm familiar with. All I can do is get it to print the default file and send it to a usb stick.
Side note: they now have a toggle switch for lowering and raising the tray and a much easier to use menu screen. Shenhui Lasers make it and this model is called "Competi[t]ive Jade Marble Lasser Engraving Machine 350"
Nice video by the way.
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. I am looking at one of these for cutting thin timber veneers to inlay into furniture etc. Do you think the accuracy of this machine will enable me to cut veneers and fit them into each other to make up pictures etc? Thanks
Tired puppy was the best part.
Can you tell me how well the rotary attachment works, specifically for
glass bottles? I want to do both etching and maybe cutting of glass
bottles and flat glass as well. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I like your video. Could you go into detail about the temperature meter you added? Where's it hooked up to in the back?
Thank you for doing this video!
Can u help me with my machine katrinah1970@gmail.com
Hey, what's the name of the machine you're using? Is it from Jinan Reci CNC Equipment Co ?
I'm planning to buy that one or a similar one in the end of the year, how much did it cost when you bought it :) Thank you for the Video :)
Excellent video, my big crate arrived today, looking forward to the weekend to get her setup. Did you have any tips/tricks/advice for aligning other than following teh Chinglish manual?
Hopefully you shouldn't have to adjust much, I only had to tweak it very slightly and it's perfect. Use the Laser button on the control panel to mark spots on the tape over the mirror, but set the laser power at the minimum you can get it to still mark the tape (Was around 10-15% for me). Once you've done alignment, you may need to clean the optics. Don't get complacent with optic cleanliness, as any debris will get cooked onto it!
Hallo, thank you for the video,
what is maximal Cut: Wood (Oak), MDF, ALLOY, INOX?
its possible cut Hard-Wood with thickness 10mm?
best regards
Great Video, thanks. I was hoping to see it run. I am most interested in cutting 3mm wood and to gain a cycle time for costing purposes. Is the cut IPM the same as the engrave IPM for the same material? Thanks
A gentleman in England has the same machine and has determined that there is a huge power drop, which gets worse the longer the laser is cutting. Any cutting after a continuous 30 seconds or so is less and less effective, and after a few minutes of continuous cutting there is almost no power left (no cutting to speak of). Have you experienced this problem with your laser, LPFthings?
Power drops quickly if the cooling water heats up. Standard with most machines is just a pump and you have to fill a bucket with water. Depending on the size of the bucket the water will heat up quickly.
An active cooler will prevent that. Ebay has them for about €150 up.
@LPFThings
I wonder if you could tell me what the focal length of your lens is?
I have one of these which is just a month old and it appears to have a lens with 50.8 mm (2 inch) focal distance, but the older machines have a focal distance of 38mm (1 1/2 inches)
The newer machines don't seem to have such good quality components for the mirrors or the main head assembly, i.e yours are nice shiny gold ones, the new machines are black and don't look so good.
However the software on the machine is much better now than yours. I'm not sure if its possible to update the firmware.. Well I guess if its working for you, thats good, but the new firmware seems to have loads more features and looks more user friendly.
Thanks..
Where can I buy this machine and what is the price
Tank you
Great video! How is it for cutting rubber gaskets?
Cool video.
Thanks for the video, would this cut carbon fiber/fiberglass sheet? (1-2mm thick)?
OK so I'm having an issue with my origin button. I can't seem to get the machine to engrave where I want to start it. it always goes back a point that it decided to do itself. I have fried to set a new origin but to no avail I have failed. please help me with this issue. also everytime I engrave something it engraved way to heavy. I have adjusted the power but still the same results. thanks for the time you take.
Have you tried laser etching Stainless steel using the Cermark spray coating? I have a stainless fab business and have considered making logo tags with serial numbers and dates etc. to attach to my equipment.
My laser engraver was operating last night and then simply stopped engraving. It continued to track etc as if it was working, and the beam jut at the rear of the head still illuminates, but there's no engraving. While the power is on, there is no light or anything in the laser at the rear. Do you know if the laser has failed
Have you been able to change the speed when the program runs? I've found that when I change the speed, it only affects the speed when I'm using the jog keys, when it outlines the frame, or when it it is just repositioning itself. When I start it cutting, it uses some preset speed that never changes
hi , excellent video , can u tell me if this machine can engrave on silicone braclets? engrave not write . :) , ty
Does the aquarium chiller keep up with keeping the water cool? Or would something like the CW5000 be better? Considering the chiller would be half the cost of the laser machine thought I'd ask before spending a few hundred on an aquarium water chiller.
Great video... what is the very small laser used for the one you installed .. Thanks
g'day mate just a question
6mm acrylic at 6mm/s at 90% does it do a one pass cut? or do you have to do a couple off passes?
Hi, very informative video!
Where did you get the reflector for your aiming laser?
It was donated to me by some nice chap from cnczone forums, however if you search around on eBay, and I think lightobject has them too, you can find them for
Which seller did you buy this from on Ebay - your's has more features (switches, gnd lug, etc) than most Ebay 350's? Thanks
Hi, great video !
How big is the red acrylic for setting the Z axis?
nice tool.
Depends on the lens and lens mount.
See if you can help me , i'm trying to cut a piece with 502mm, but as you know the machine is 500mm, do you if there a way to change the table setting to 503mm for example? I try to use 503 in page settings on laserwork, but it works just for the software not for the machine.
I like the way you put a honeycomb inside, i use a honeycomb too but over the flat table. Nice Idea!
I question and put an answer....this is funny. Here is how to solve this answer
Go into to vendor settings ( password rd8888 ) and adjust the Breadth setting for each the x and the y . Set to 525 X and 325 Y that give you almost an inch each way. With it the machine goes to 52.5 X 32.5 cms , 2.5 cms for free.............
Did you have to get this ship from Port to your home. I've looked into the larger 180W 1690 (about $5grand) then still have to ship it from Port to my home.
Hello, Thanks for your videos they have been helpful. I have a laser very similar to yours and I'm having a lot of trouble adding the software to my pc (am using windows 10). Did you have much trouble adding the software to your computer? Or would you please let me know what software you recommend?
@Kazza Karma Hi friend,which laser software you have ? i know RUIDA system can cupport Windows 10
I run my machine on an old Windows XP computer that I picked up second hand for less than $20. Windows 10 is a 64 bit operating system and the software is no doubt made for a 32 bit operating system. You could try running the software in "Compatibility Mode" in Win 10, but honestly it probably won't work. I would recommend just getting an old PC or laptop.
Hi can you say me what a speed you set to cut 3mm acrylic because me i set 8mm/s @ 75-80%. if i try more fast for around 13mm/s doesnt cut deeply and around 10/11 mm/s for example on 3 pieces one is almost cutted and other two very slightly.
Can you tell me if 2 mm/second @ 95% power should cut 1/4" Acrylic? It did on a small test but not after 6" or 7". It actually stopped burning altogether for 6" the resumed. A pulse put a pinhole right thru it. Any advice?
Sounds like either your tube is shot, optics are dirty, or out of alignment. 2mm/s should cut 1/4" acrylic no problems. Also check your water temp, as CO2 lasers will drop power dramatically even if the water is above 30C or so.
I ordered one of these units that supports LASERDRW and Corel Laser. Not sure if you can help me out but they didn't ship the software but included the dongle. Do you know where I can download the software? I have found the website of the software manufacture however the download links dont work..
Could you please confirm what is max cutting area as originally it stated as 50x30 and I'm interesting if there are possibility to cut 31x31 from 33x40 or it cuts exactly as stated with no exceptions? Thank you in advance
I'll get back to you with that soon.
LPFthings Thank you. Can't wait )
LPFthings Any news about my question?
Alex K
On mine it is exactly as stated...super structure of the machine gets in the way
Why did you not show it doing what it can do?
Hi all, just got mine its exactly the same however the screen is all in Chinese
do you know how I can change it ?
Thanks a lot for the info. What's the noise level of the machine overall? Is this something I could use in a flat/apartment without bothering the neighbors?
Yes you can use in house not too much noise, but if you live in apartment need to take care about the fume, your neighbors will claim about it.
Rick Santos Thanks Rick. I ended up buying a 40w of the same thing. Works surprisingly well for what it is. I agree, the noise is not a problem but fumes could be. If only that were true of the cnc machine :-)
***** Yeah, I have a 6040 CNC machine with 1500w spindle and VFD. No problem until it hits the material. Can't do much without that happening though :-)
Thanks Jeremy. I'm going to try your speed suggestions more thoroughly. Not sure to what degree I've tried both at the same time. The bits are all new so should be sharp. Already plan to make some sort of cabinet or shroud for it, just have to get around to it. I'm just learning this stuff so being able to use it more without bothering the neighbors would be great. I need to come up with a plan to attack the dust collection first and that probably adds some kind of vacuum system which is also probably going to be loud so more parameters :-)
hi just got my laser and it didnt come with the measuring piece for distance between laser heads and material could you measure it please. thanks.. great follow up BTW
I found a great clip which solves this. Drop the table down lower than the focal length...Put a piece of material in the cutter....one end lifted up high the other low...Get the laser to cut (or just burn) a line down the length of the material. You will see the burn mark will be wide when it is short then will thin down at the focal length and then expand out again once it passes the focal length. Once done, find the the spot where the line is the most narrow and then measure the distance from the laser head to the material....this is your focal length. I made a piece of card the correct distance and just keep this handy for when I change material thicknesses.
where did you buy it and how much approx? Or Can you recommend any suppliers in oz?
Will this cut foam (BLACK POLYETHYLENE PLANK FOAM) that is used in photo cases and what would be the max thickness of the foam I could use? Thanks!
i just bought the SCU 1060 laser machine.. What is the process to convert the files from pics to rd files (or whatever file the machine uses to read files) for the machine to use?
What eBay vender did you use and was there a brand name? Wattage? Thank you
Nice Video Mate!!
Have you ever tried to cut bunch of bright papers (cardstock, 220 gsm) by this machine? does it burn the paper and leave smoke on the paper?
As long as you're using air assist the edges are pretty decent. You might get a little charring, but that's to be expected with a laser. Colour of the material doesn't matter with a CO2 laser.
Can we get the info on what the machine make and model are?
is this the vevor 40w? seen all over ebay?
Great video. Can you cut glass with this? like for stained glass?
No. Only engrave on the surface.
Hello. I have this machine and hhave the coral draw all set up on the computer, but I'm having an extremely hard time getting my computer to connect to the engraver. I have tried many times contacting the company and they keep sending me files which do boot open and say they are corrupt files. Is there any help you could give as to getting the machine and the computer to link?
My machine came in a week ago. Set it up, which was easy, everything works! Software was the biggest issue. "RDWorksV*Setup(8.0.23)" was corrupt. Google the software and was able to find it. Here is the link.
en.rd-acs.com/down.aspx
It worked with no virus issues...for me.
FInally, I want Adobe Illustrator to work with machine. Any hints and thanks in adavance.
so how does it cut ? I don't see any videos
The 15 KV in that machine will not produce enough current to even give you a shock, but it WILL destroy most of the electronics. However, the 120 VAC used to power it all can kill if the case isn't properly grounded. So yeah, that ground is important, but not quite for the reason given in the video. Most locales require an installed ground in the building and to use something like the water line - just tie onto that or the ground strap already in place. Good video otherwise
The laser PSU will most definitely output enough current to give you a decent shock, they're capable of around 20mA short circuit current which in specific conditions could be fatal, and is definitely not pleasant.
LPF - Although I don't know what the "PSU" is, I do know a lethal dose of current is 200 ma, ten times more than the math says this unit (15KV/60 W) is capable of producing. Although there is a fudge factor I doubt it is more than 10% higher than manufacturer's specs. If 10-20 ma is the rated short circuit current, that is what will flow when a CONDUCTOR is shorted across the leads and the human body is a very poor conductor and some times an infinite load (opposite of short) on the power source. Unless you've just come out of the ocean, are sweaty, standing on conductive material connected to ground, it is doubtful you'll feel anything. Hook up the ground, though - protect the equipment from internal shorts and yourself from external (120/240 VAC) shorts/grounds.
Mike L Not sure where you got 200mA as a lethal figure from, only takes 6mA across the heart. Once you overcome skin resistance (which will happen very easily at 15kV) it doesn't take much current to kill you. It's's unlikely this PSU (power supply unit) would, but it's definitely possible, and does give a nasty shock.
LPF - I got the figure from my memories of my basic electricity classes in 1969, from my experience working in the electrical field for 45 years, and teaching electrical theory & safety for nearly as many years, and from verifying it with a quick internet search for "lethal amperage for humans".
Sort circuit/fault rating of a power source is also the instantaneous trip, not a measure of what the power supply can provide indefinitely. If the rated short circuit amperage of the power supply is 20 ma, it would never pump out even close to that with a human as the load. Even assuming the person touches the unit in a way that causes the power supply to output 20 ma it would be for mere fractions of a second and might tickle their fancy, but not cause pain or kill.
When I walk across the carpet in my living room, and am wearing rubber soled shoes I pick up one heck of a static charge - in the neighborhood of 50,000 volts or more so when I touch the kitchen sink the spark flies but doesn't hurt me because there is insufficient time for the current to affect me. Same is true if that power supply is short circuited - it will cease operating quicker than that first step across the carpet.
If f the person is already ill, old, or otherwise susceptible to heart stoppage, just got out of the shower is standing on conductive material (and other physical factors) AND remains in the circuit for several seconds math and science supports the possibility of 6 ma (.006 amps) stopping their heart. Please, stop reaching for straws and long shot possibilities to support your premise. Better you learn the realities of the subject you are trying to discuss rather than quote random numbers found on the internet that seem to support your premise.
But, as always - properly ground the equipment.
Mike L what about 6 milliamp on 30,000 volts?
Hi, we are looking to get one of these but was hoping you could point us in the direction of the seller that you got yours from? There is a few on ebay ($1956.80) which actually looks to be the same seller with different usernames that have some negative feedback so I just wanted to make sure we get it from the right place. We are also in QLD.
+Darren Mackay . Thats what I thought too. I am qld too. I have ordered one alibaba about two weeks ago. Hopefully it should arrive soon.

If you check the names you will see that there are hundreds or thousands of little companies who are manufacturing those lasers. They look all the same or very similar!
The difference is (sometimes) in the details.
Have you had any issues with power loss? I'm looking at getting one, but wasn't sure the quality.
+SirPalandar
Power is much lower than they quote.
My tube actually has a label saying its 40W continuous or 45W peak.
So maximum safe power without damaging the tube is around 65% not 100%
Thanks for the videos!! I want to buy a laser cutter for my small business (most likely off ebay). But I want to cut glass too. This machine doesn't cut glass does it?
I saw a 60w red one on eBay so I may need to pay more get that one instead. No videos on that one though :( any tips or advice would be so welcome. Thank you - feeling a little lost with all the info.
As far as I know you need a completely different type of laser. Not the co2 type. Look for fibre laser.
Hi I bought the same machine in ebay chinese warehouse in UK but the LCD panel is in chinese, i see you have english interface do you know how change language off course in english?
Press the Z/U button, and press the up key once to go to the last menu item, should be there.
Would you have to adjust your power settings to lower so the laser doesnt go threw the back of it? what settings would reccomend for iphone engravings?
No, it can't cut metal at all. You'd have to do some experimenting yourself, but I'd start off with 30% power and 300mm/s
Can you give me the link to buy this product from ebay?
Can you send me the e-bay link from where you bought?
Hi please email to daisychin@aliyun.com,will advise you.
Daisy Chin u
can you tell me were you got your honeycomb bed from?
Will it cut thin carbon fiber?
My machine seems to be missing the focus tool. What is the width of this tool? I can easily make one with my other laser machine.
My focus tool (if you want to call it that) is 8mm. Yoasically want to focus up/down until you have absolutely the smallest dot size. This will be the point of greatest intensity of the beam. You have less than 1mm either way until you really start losing beam intensity and precision for fin lines. If its too hard to tell with a single dot, try engraving a line at slightly different heights. The finest line is the optimum focus length. Measure it and make a "focus tool".
Nope, i tried that, but it does not work. Meanwhile i spoke with the chinese producer and they are saying if i will reset the machine to it s factory settings, than it will need to be totally recalibrated. So better not after all :)
Thanks anyway!
Will this laser run with corelDraw?
Does it work with vector files from Adobe Illustrator?
Nathan Garza Export as a DXF in Illustrator, the laser software will be able to import it.
will this do the inner part of glass and glass crystal iam new to this all but like the way some print in side glass I would like but the high $$$$ cant do for now any info will help thanks :)
Does it have a vacuum bed?
Are there any disassembly videos? I need to clean the gantry from the back or check the side belts but they're impossible to access without dissambelimg some parts somehow
Looking to purchase one of these but I am concerned that in the ebay description it states runs from windows 2000 and XP and Vista, I have windows 8 on all my laptops so is this going to prevent me being able to use this machine?
Trev C Yes, it will run on Windows 8
Can you tell me the length of the focal length ruler (the orange acrylic thing). I just got one of these, and that part is missing. Thanks :-)
It's 9mm. Although I've found on my machine the best focal point seems to be a tiny bit lower, so start from there and mess around a bit.
LPFthings Ace and thanks for the super speedy reply!
Hello Pinter75. I have a problem with my AIrforce a/c unit which you have a nice video on. It's a Coms fault. I want to check out the opto-isolators bu the device numbers are so feint I'm finding it hard to read. They seem to be Sharp PCxx devices where xx I just cannot read. Is there any chance you could shed some light on this which would be very much appreciated.
hi on your next vid chould you show us the software and how you would CUT am RASTER
You pick a color for each object on the screen. Each color can be assigned one of 3 options, Scan (engrave), Cut, or Dot (produces dotted line). To engrave a circular image and then cut it out you would just draw a circle of a different color around the image, and then assign that color to be cut. You can assign the order of operations by moving the color up or down in the cut list.
I've had trouble pinning down whether this machine is Mac compatable? Can anyone help please. Cheers PS really good video!
The machine only understands special commands. The free rdworks software is windows only but the better Lightburn has a Mac and Linux version. LIghtburn does not work with the cheap K40 machines. A compatible Ruida controller comes with the control panel that you can see in this video.
pls send me the cost of machine

Hallo, leuke video. Ik heb een paar maanden geleden dezelfde laser gekocht. Niets als ellende. Na de spiegels te hebben afgesteld ging de besturings unit kapot. Voor garantie een nieuwe gekregen na veel heen en weer gepraat. Vanaf ik het heb terug gekregen werkt er niets meer naar behoren. Ik zou graag de fabrieks instellingen willen resetten, maar hoe? Kan iemand me daar mee helpen?
could you use this machine for engraving images on the back of iphones?
Yes you could.
can you cut pdo files from pepakura designer?
I am looking at buying one of these. Do you still have it? How did it do for longevity? Do you remember who you bought it from? Thanks for the video! Cheers!
I'm also in the run for this machine, did you already bought it?
+Patrick van der Snoek not yet. I have watched a bunch of videos on it. Seems like a pretty good machine. Only thing I don't like about it is it does not have a pass-through in the front for engraving larger items. There's one guy that did a five or six part series on the specific machine. It's pretty in-depth. If I can find it again, I will post the link here.
+Beach Bum Woodworker well...I'm gonna order it within 2 hours ;-) Already have the K40 and love that machine too so this must be a good machine also. I know that there are people that remove a part of the front and the side to handle larger items. for me the 30x50cm is large enough..
+Patrick van der Snoek right on! What is the K 40?
+Beach Bum Woodworker it's the 40w co2 like: Bekijk dit op eBay www.ebay.com/itm/201485085366
Hi
Please tell me can you adjust the speed and laser power from the Software and the laser keypad?
Thanks
www.vinylcutters.co.za South Africa That is correct. You are able to adjust speed and laser power from both the software and keypad.
+xianglei Shi i want one!, my email ah07@hotmail.com
Where abouts did you find this for $2500? All I can see is $9,900AUD for same unit. Also what was postage? Kind Regards, Brayden
***** Maybe they have run out and bumped the price up as many Ebayers do.
Yeah, but sometimes places sell off ebay as well and instead of losing their listing (as view count and top search position will be reset), they place higher quantities than what they actually have. I have messaged them for an answer anyway. :-)
Brayden Cox Wow!, I bought the exact same one last week for AUD2100 with rotary. Now they list over 9K. Crazy! Offer them 2100.
They replied and said they were out of stock. But they said best they could do was $2300. When I said people had bought them for $2100 they wanted ebay user id's to back it up lol
I've often seen sellers ramp up the price of their items when they run out of stock, it saves them having to pay another listing fee to re-list it, so the idea is that no one will buy it at that price.
i have got a laser cutter like that but i have problems with cutting stuff in one go i have to do it a couple of times any way to do it in one go?
Jims Gaming What speeds are you running and laser power percentage?
