Thank you for posting this (and the series of videos re rotary attachments in general). The information provided was exactly what I needed to make a decision on a recent purchase.
that depends on the length of the columns. the chuck rotary is great however it's main restriction is the length of the item being engraved (as it needs to fit between chuck jaws and the supporting tail stop). The roller rotary is better for engraving longer items.
Hi Matthew trying to figure what type of rotary I should go for with my 100W F-2" . I'm mainly looking to engrave yeti cups & Bamboo/ Wooden bottles ( Maybe Wine glasses but rare) , With as less headache and plug and play as possible what would you suggest thats really simple to do with for my kind of requirement? Also do both Chuck and Roller system hold the same length? Or any differences there ? It seems to me roller can hold more bottle length. Would really appreciate your inputs on this 😅 thanks !
Yes, the chuck axis is limited in the length of object, the roller will be suited for longer items like bottles. mwlaser.com.au/product/roller-rotation-axis/
Thanks for this and for all your excellent videos. Regarding the issues with light items on the roller type, I wonder if anyone has had success with weighting the items down by placing into them something such as a bean bag or a sand bag? I'm a laser owner who has yet to purchase a rotary and I'm considering what kind to buy.
Matt, I have never engraved glass on this laser yet...on my small k40, it seemed I always cracked the glass. Can you give me a few tip on engraving glass as far as power and speed to get me started? I appreciate your videos! Jeff
On the 80W tube a low power 25-35% and medium speed 300mm/sec work well for me for engraving, I have not done a lot of glass work though, but this will give you a start point to start your fine tuning till you get it looking like you want. Cheers Matt
The main thing you need to know when selecting your rotary device is the type of motor used on the laser machine's Y Axis in order to select the correct rotary attachment. eg 2-Phase or 3-Phase Motor. (A 2 Phase uses 4 connections A- A+ B- B+ whereas a 3-Phase use 3 connections U V W) Check out the 1st video in the series about the types of Rotary. Any Questions email me matt@mwlaser.com.au ruclips.net/video/Y-NzNeaOegI/видео.html
Most laser machines are capable of using these rotary attachments, if they do not have the rotary axis connection it is possible to wire one for your machine

You are welcome!
Fine job with the videos Matt, there is no better explanation of the Rotary device out there.
Thanks Tim
Laying the device on its side does that mean I can increase my work diameter by 100mm awesome.
Great videos
Yes that is on this model of chuck rotation axis. If you don't have the same unit you'll have to check your unit for measurements.
Really useful video thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
witch rotary should i buy to make wooden columns i have to make a lot of them

I have seen an add-on part which is a 5th wheel that is spring loaded and rolls inside the object / glass etc

this roatry works on fibra laser machine 50wat
Wht model is better for 30oz yeti?
Either,however I prefer using the Chuck style, but on some objects the roller is better... eg wine glasses
how to connect this with the laser ? what if i buy cheap one on along with cnc laser, is gonna be hard to programme it together?
