- In this video I shed some light on the differences between buying an imported Chinese fiber laser vs buying a domestic fiber laser. Just sharing my experience and what I have learned over the last 5 years in the laser industry.

Your welcome! just trying to help everyone out. Let me know if you have any questions.
Super helpful video! Thinking of buying one off eBay in the next month hopefully it works out well.
Glad it helped! I would recommend checking out the sellers reviews and ask them some questions before purchasing if you haven't already. Good luck!
@@JS-Tactical-Designs will do thanks for the advice!
Good info, Thank you
Can you go into more detail about the various ones you were taking about like jpt and the others?
For engraving serial numbers on rifle barrels which units should I look at?
In the meantime there might be support for lightburn; if it supports ezcad 2 it likely work with lightburn.
Hi! What fan do you use for the ventilation?
For your Chinese laser what did you do for your fume extractor?
Hello, I have a question about investing in a small fiberlaser and a specific product. I have a product wich is white powder coatet stainless steel and need to be "printed" the text in black. Its for the industry and have to be 100% "not removable". Is this a product tha is possible for a fiberlaser and Which one do you recommend for a beginner who only have experience of a Laser Pro Spirit machine? (The printing area has to be at least 110x110 mm. I do not want the cheapest solution and will problably need help, so a good service after buying it would be perfect. Thanks!
Your US made machine looks like in us assembled chinese components with some us made housing.
Exactly wgat it is. People like to downplay chinese products. China has both great quality and poor quality. What you pay is what you get. US machines are overpriced
Which do you use that can cut slots in the slides
Much needed video! But please stop moving the camera around so much especially the zooming in and out so much!
Fantastic video josh! I have a couple questions sir! What Chinese laser do you have? I noticed in your latest video you engraved on a big radius and I’m curious if you have a 3d dynamic focus? If not I wasn’t aware you could engrave that much of a z hight difference and still have an even engrave. Did you just focus in the center lowest point?? I hope you can get back to me. And hope all is well! Thank you for your time and video
I have standard 2d lasers. Just split the difference with the focus.
Thanks for the wonderful video, can we have a discussion about the EM-Smart series laser marking machines? We designed this smallest 20W for personalized laser engraving including the Glock guns,1911 and Colt.

Awesome video. Did you make the base plate/ back plate fixtures that are in the US laser?
I had my supplier (that makes all the back plates) make it for me.
@@JS-Tactical-Designs willing to share that supplier?
Want this one
What’s a good quality 50watt laser for gunsmith shop work like slide cutouts and engraving
OMG laser
Where can I buy that 3D fiber laser engraving machine? I can't get in touch with any page. Thanks a lot
Do you recommend any gantry Co2 laser companies?
I've seen raycus jpt. What's up with that 🤔. I tried to find out which one it was and they said raycus jpt
Thank you for doing the video. Very informative. Keep them coming. Can I make one suggestion and take it for what it's worth. Please hold the camera still, you spend a lot of time moving in and out. Kind of makes it hard to watch. Thank you again for posting.
Thanks for the tip!
Here's a question. Can the software on the domestic machine run the import machine?
Good question. The answer is no. The LMT has an updated version of EZ Cad 3 and has a different control card. Most Chinese fibers use Ezcad 2. You can get Ezcad 3 on a china machine but not the updated version that comes with the LMT.
so for a chinese laser...does $5k shipped for a 30w jpt machine sound about right? i’ve got 2 quotes for around $5k, but one machine is supposedly a 50w jpt set up
That sounds about right. Sometimes they are quoted more expensive for a 50w jpt. I would look into wisely laser, he sells good machines from china.
30w JPT less than $5K for split one.
I have to disagree with your analysis.1) IPG 2) JPT 3) Raycus 4) Max. Max being the lowest quality in my opinion. Raycus however can very. You need to know the number RFL-P50Q or RFL -P50QB the QB being the better laser source. There are more then these 4 fiber laser sources but these are the most popular. 3 for price & 1 for quality that being the IPG German made unit along with the German made galvo head is in my opinion the very best. As far as import goes, pay more upfront and have it shipped by DHL or FedEx or UPS will get it pretty fast. Shipped to US customs and take a chance if its being used for personal use. You may not have to pay the import tax. I've got the Raycus 50w QB and I love it. That being said I can not compare to others as Raycus is my only fiber laser source I've owned. My machine came with a 30w that was bad and they refunded me my money. Because of Covid-19 I couldn't send the unit back, so I talked to ming store in China they helped me out about the (numbers) suggested get the QB, And since I could just swap out the 30w for the 50w easy swap, I bought it and it's been great. Now MOPA is a different subject all together. Ezcad3 gives you the option of 3D as well as being a 64 bit application that Ezcad2 does not. Also if you have a laser with ezcad2 and buy the controller board with ezcad3 you can turn your preexisting machine over to ezcad3.
I was going into detail about the Chinese laser source manufactures. IPG and SPI sources are much better quality than any Chinese source and are usually what comes in higher end machines. I agree IPG or SPI with a scanlab scanhead would be the very best option.
Do you know of any Chinese manufacturers that use IPG laser sources?
Who mach price

Good idea!
First tell me what you are doing with the laser. No point of going any where else until this is said.
Can you stop rocking with the camera
