Hey there! appreciate the great video. i was wondering if you have ever ran into the issue of the count and increments being off. i am working on making something very similar but with an 8 count, and even though the increment should be 45, its not rotating the proper amount. the rotary itself is set fine at 12800 as it does the full 360 test. thanks again for the great video! EDIT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE CHECKS THE EXTERNAL AXIS SETUP: avoid the headache i had lol the problem was it saved some very old settings from a different rotary from a long time ago. it was okay on the rotary settings steps per rotation, but the external acis setup for some reason reverted to 5000 steps. very interesting dillema, and will check my other computer to see if its the same, and hopefully it saves the settings.
Cool video. Curious, would a similar setup be possible for an xTool F1 & their rotary tool? Looking at getting one of those and this would be the first thing to make if so.
Most of this video was filmed using a 60w Co2 Galvo from Haotian Laser using a standard chuck rotary (it's pointed straight up). That said, this can be done with any galvo laser and similar chuck rotary. I've done the same setup on all 3 of the fibers in the shop too, using a similar chuck rotary that was wired to those machines. Truly interchangeable setup across galvo's if you are wired for rotary.
I created this jig (thanks for the tutorial) and 2 things are happening when I go to engrave on the cards. 1) My design is engraving in a fan shaped pattern (wider at the left edge) and the rotary is moving (jerky) during the engrave of each card. Any assistance or suggestions would be helpful.
Just a comment on terminology: a fixture holds a part, whereas a jig guides a tool. Your video should be titled "Fixtures! | How to BUILD and USE a Rotary Table Fixture"
We've seen it used both ways, understandable distinction for sure. Kyle opted for "Jig" in this case. While it is holding a part being marked, it is also guiding the tool via the moving rotary plate, I guess since it isn't a stationary fixture. 🤷♂️
@@LaserEverything I've seen the terms "jig" and "fixture" used interchangeably, but only by people without a formal background in engineering or machining. The term jig has always been formally referred to as a device used locate and secure a workpiece and to guide or control cutting tools. A fixture merely holds a workpiece while the tool (in this case a laser beam) is under independent control. In this case, the fact that the fixture rotates is irrelevant. The only things guiding the laser beam are the mirrors, which in turn are positioned by stepper motor driven by a CNC controller. While a very creative individual could design a system of mirrors to perform machining of otherwise inaccessible features of a workpiece, thereby transforming a fixture into a jig, such a practice is so uncommon that I've never seen the technique applied. The following reference is but one source that explains the fact that jig and fixture are not interchangeable terms: www.engineeringchoice.com/what-is-difference-between-jig-and-fixture/

Great tutorial, thanks! going to make one with one additional modification, a hole in the center of each square to push up whatever is there!
This is sweet! Now just need to setup a loader and unloader mechanism

Great video Kyle, looking forward to using my rotary for this.
The carnival music in the beginning 😂🎠

Great video! Super informative, thank you
Thank You Sir! This video helped me immensely
Glad to hear it!
Super! Super! Super video!! Thanks much!
Thanks for watching!

Very informative 👌🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Hmmm. Gives me some ideas for sure.
Thanks for the video
Glad to hear it, and thank you for stopping by!

What laser and rotary are you using?

LigthBurn funciona con cualquier maquina laser de fibra?
Currently only fiber lasers with Ezcad 2 controllers
Can this be done with Ezcad 3?
Curious why no one unchecks go to start?
Preference, or rather default preference lol.
The background music makes me want to play Sonic 😂
Gotta go fast!
What... repeat marking in beta? I have it!
This was recorded like 2 days before the update went live, it's been in our edit queue for a bit 🤣
Need video on Co2 camera machine . How to use
You and me both
mostly shot just needs to go through editing
@@LaserEverything no problem i get that you guys are busy 24/7 thanks for all the help you guys provide!
Ayy lmao
ayyy

😂 I've seen a cat called a dog, but of course they are not the same. Thanks for the correction and detailed explanation.
First 😂
Whoo!
@@LaserEverything I have every possible notification on lol. I will not miss any content. Sunday morning coffee with Kyle☺️
