Sorry for the late reply, I have a few projects going on (new shop being built, production runs ect) I can try to help a little but I don't have a 1.5kw machine yet that should happen in a couple weeks or so. You can send me an email at 4x4fiberlaser@gmail.com with an explanation of what your having issues with, I'm ok talking over the phone. Looks like your near Miami? I'm up by Daytona beach.. And I highly recommend you sign up with the fiber laser group on facebook, with more people there is a greater chance they will have more specific information. There are a few people who sell more complete step by step instruction packs, my videos are much less complete but are free.
Really dumb question.... I'm currently outsourcing all my laser cutting for aluminum sheet, plate and tubing. My product also has carpet that I'm cutting by hand and then painfully drilling out holes and then dealing with the bolts getting caught in the carpet. I also am cutting plywood by hand for the shipping solution. Would I be able to do all that on this machine?
Something like carpet or plywood would most likely be best to cut on a CO2 laser as the beam wavelength is more suited to those materials.. On the positive CO2 lasers are less expensive however they do have a little more maintenance with them. Bescutter has a 350 watt co2 for about $35K that would likely handle those parts with ease.. A fiber laser would probably be needed for the Aluminium parts and a fairly large one because aluminium is reflective to laser light so it is harder to cut than say steel or stainless steel. There are a few combination fiber/co2 machines being made currently.. Basically its an added CO2 laser on a fiber laser machine. The disadvantages are extra cost, and slightly reduced gantry acceleration due to the extra weight, the advantage is you only have one cutting machine for two very different processes... My suggestion assuming the carpet and plywood cutting are a significant issue, would be to look at the CO2 laser first and plan to add the fiber machine later. Be sure you know what the carpet is made with so you can filter the smoke correctly.
Compressed air is mostly nitrogen, so most metals that can be cut with nitrogen can be cut with compressed air. The main difference is that compressed air will cause a small amount of oxidation on the edge, if the small amount of oxidation is acceptable then it most likely can be used.. With thicker carbon steels use of oxygen is to increase the machines cutting capacity, if I recall correctly the 10KW machine can cut around 3/8" or 10mm carbon steel on compressed air, but can cut nearly 30mm carbon steel with oxygen.. With our 500 watt machine we can cut up to 2mm steel with compressed air, but we can cut 6mm with oxygen. We mostly cut with compressed air but also have a few oxygen bottles we use from time to time.

Thanks for watching
Hello. If you are not already a member, you should join cnc fiber laser ninja group on facebook. A lot to learn and share there
I'll give it a look.
i have a bescutter 3015m 1.5kw machine, looking for some support on how to operate the machine

Hello sir , you from
is it possible to cut any metal using only compressed air ?
Compressed air is mostly nitrogen, so most metals that can be cut with nitrogen can be cut with compressed air.

@@smallshoplasers8785 thanks for the info ,
Sir I have sent a mail regarding few more clarifications ... please reply to that
