I will attempt to give a general overview of the device from the hobby metal worker’s perspective.
And I will answer the following questions:
1. How easy is it to assemble and set up the machine.
2. How easy is it to learn and use the machine.
3. Is a CNC laser a useful tool for the hobby machine shop?
If you have any questions about the machine, or my experience with it, ask them in the comments down below!

Who am I?
I'm a hobby machinist, with a passion for old machine tools and manual machining.
I am here to share and learn.
Being self taught, much of my limited knowledge, has come from others sharing their experiences online, just as I am doing now.
My hope, is that by putting my work in front of much more knowledgeable machinists, we can all learn something new together.

Nice! I'm envious. I used to have access to an old Epilog laser at work, not nearly as powerful. I used it to engrave my name on tools, metal pens, phones, laptops, key chains, cool designs on kitchen and pocket knives, and used the rotary attachment for names and sayings on mine and my kids travel mugs. The possibilities are endless. It wasn't powerful enough to etch a PCB out of a blank, let alone cut a piece of plywood. Please have fun!!!😁😁 Just don't attach to a shark, non vacuum type...
lol yeah i've been doing the same thing, nothing is safe from getting plastered with my logo at this point. i am really liking having it in the shop, turned out to be a lot more fun than i was even expecting. And the thumbnail for this vid came perilously close to having a shark in it... 🤣 unfortunately my photo editing skills weren't good enough to make it as cool as what was in my head. thanks for watching btw!
@hersch_tool 😆😆 Have fun! I enjoy your channel and always look forward to the next episode. Thanks for sharing!🤛
This is so fascinating.
Thx for the vid.
you're welcome, thanks very much for watching 😁
nice new tool! 👍
thanks! i'm having a lot of fun with it. didn't know how much i needed a laser, until i got a laser... 😂
Hi can you tell me the types and thickness of metal you have cut with this laser. I'm looking at getting one for our shop to cut gaskets and rubber seals and some thin metal. And also lexan polycarbonate
You can burn natively into steel, but aluminum brass, etc will likely require a layer of etching fluid as it won't absorb the laser without it. As for cutting metals, it's not really meant for cutting metal more than a couple thousandths thick. You could cut steel shim stock, maybe up to .008" or .010" or so. But I don't know how well it would do with cutting metal any thicker than that. Other materials though, it'll cut right plastics and woods etc well over 1/2" easily
@@hersch_tool thanks for your feedback
That keychain looks great my friend.
Thanks bro :)
Wow! Different color engraving based heat input?! Very cool. I’ve always been impressed with my creality 3D printer so this has definitely peaked my interest. Question, any idea what thickness of metal or plexiglass it will cut all the way through?
Yep, pretty dang cool right? Having never used a laser before, I was having a lot of fun discovering all the things I could do with one. Having grown up in the 80s and 90s, I just kept thinking that I wished I could go back and tell my 10 year old self that, "one day, you'll be playing with lasers!" I would have been stoked... hahaha. The documentation says that it can cut 20mm wood, and 30mm acrylic, and I believe it. In the video I cut through 1/2" birch no problem. As far as actually "cutting" metal, ie; cutting straight through or cutting shapes out of metal, it can only do pretty thin stuff, like maybe 8 to 10 thou shim stock type thicknesses. Documentation says 0.15mm for actually cutting "through" metal, but I think you could push a bit further than that. I haven't done a lot of testing to see how far I can actually push it though. But it can engrave metal really well. That first metal engraving in the vid felt like it was a good .010" into the surface of that plate. Thanks for watching btw!
That’s a cool laser
👍
I'd rather watch this work from the next room via camera than trust the provided goggles.
Hahahaha! Yeah fair enough. I still can't get over the fact that im literally firing lasers in the shop now.
YAY LASERS!
lol yay indeed. lasers ROCK
