It’s just the power wire have you got the laser switch switched on? On the side of the machine hit the pulse button see what it says is your water pump turned on?

@@woodendayz I flipped the switches & still no power. The water was running through the laser tube still no power

@@woodendayz do I have to do anything to that wire?

Not when I turn on the laser switch it’s set to auto in my Lightburn software so when my buy starts it automatically comes on but I can manually turn the air on with a seperate toggle switch I installed on the front of the machine

Yeh mate I’m gonna be doing another review soon on this same machine as it has been 2 years and still going great man I didn’t use it for 3 months came out turned on and perfect cut 1st go so yeh super happy with it man 🤟🏽

I have mine set on 20psi 😊

@@woodendayz which compressor do you use?

My compressor is a 5hp with a 50L tank so it’s small but it’s quiet if I’m cutting it kicks on every few minutes but I have to say having the ultimate air assist with the compressor is soooo much better than the normal pump these machines come with so I highly recommend the upgrade. Have you managed to get your machine up and running?

@@woodendayz I have everything but my compressor. I’m thinking towards the fortresses 26gallon

Yeh that would be plenty enough

Nah I doubt that maybe it would in several passes but I don’t think the edges would look very good!

Sure mate no problem at all 👍🏽

I usually do 12mm/sec @ 30-40% power seems to work well I think unless you raise the material off the bed your always gonna get some flashback as the beam bounces back off the honeycomb bed, I use metal egg rings to sit my material on that way it’s off the bed and I get pretty much no flashback 😊

@@woodendayz thank you so much!!!

Hey mate, I think it was $3800 and free postage 🤟🏽 good machine

Hey mate, yeh I do iv not had any major issues with this machine at all it’s been great even had it sit for about 2 months with no use turned it on ran an engrave and cut job and was perfect! 👍🏽

@@woodendayz that's for the advice cheers

Hey mate, this is just light tack masking tape same stuff they use for applying vinyl decals I got mine from a local place to me called discount printing supplies here in Australia 🇦🇺

Yeh i definitely do just a small 5hp with I think it’s a 50L tank seems to work really well the compressor kicks on a fair bit but it is not very loud and also in a shed outside so it really doesn’t bother me, I have the ultimate air assist kit and super happy that I did do the upgrade it’s so much better than the small standard air assist they come with 😊

@@woodendayz mines is indoors I just got my omtech chiller & infinity kit. I’ve had my machine since April & haven’t Used It. My goal is to be up & running in two weeks. Any tips or advice, for indoors?

@themeditationcorner6531 I unfortunately not really as mine is outside in my shed I would only suggest making sure your extractor fan is all plumbed up good with no leaks so all the nasties vent outside, I could not imagine having the machine for that long and not using it lol you would be very keen to get it up and running hope all goes well for you 😊

@@woodendayz ikr. Anxiety took over & lack of help. I mentally shut down. Your videos help me get to the point of buying my machine. Thank You. Now I just have to put it all together. My infinity Air Filtration Kit 6", Inline Fan Carbon Filter and Ducting will be here Thursday.

@themeditationcorner6531 yeh it can be scary starting out that mainly why I started doing the vids I had no idea when I started did a lot of research and just took my time hopefully you can get it ally I and running let me know if you have any questions happy to help where I can

There egg rings but yeh basically the same thing work great for not burning up the underside of the material 👌🏽

Yeh I’m pretty sure they are the same or if not vevor maybe a cheaper version but this one I have has been great iv not had any major issues with it few things to tweak here and there but for the most part I can’t fault it! 👍🏽

Hey mate, I think from memory it was just some 12 or 15mm plywood not marine grade just c/d grade that I had laying around 🤙🏽

​@@woodendayz ok cheers bud. Thanks for the reply. Going to have a go at exactly what you did. Just got to pick up some of that Oramask Great video by the way👍 Thanks, Peter

Hi, yes you can cut acrylic very small just a few mm circle or rectangle and yes you can etch/engrave 1mm on some 3mm and not cut through it all depends on your speed and power settings that you use but you can engrave very light or very deep, The cuts are extremely thin if you were to cut out a circle then you can push it back in with almost no gap at all it’s very precise when cut by the laser 😊

I’m not sure about cutting foil or paper as iv not tryed that before sorry and yes you can vary the percentage of the engraving by selecting a different power setting and adding that to a specific layer in Lightburn

@@woodendayz thanks! :)

Hi for acrylic upto 4mm I do 14mm/sec with 40% power my machine is 80w

@@woodendayz Same my machine 80w but the same problem

Try a lower power or faster speed do you have air assist?

On my machine the chiller is sitting beside it and hooked up To the machine, but vevor do sell them with the water tank inbuilt I think the 100w And 130w machines have that option

Hi Fred, I don’t have the rotary tool but there is a connection on the machine for one to plug into! Thanks for watching, Cheers, Matt

I have the vevor 80w co2 laser I can not find any where to plug in a rotary tool and vevor are not much help can you tell me where the plug is there is no plugs inside the machine thanks Fred

@Fred-nv9vg mine plugs in just inside the machine on the right under the control panal there is also a switch on the front of my machine labelled rotary plane I assume this is to turn the rotary took on and off once it’s plugged in

Thanks for the reply I have no plugs inside or switches it looks like everything is just hard wired in So guess I’ll keep trying vevor until they give me an answer You have great content on channel.have you tried engraving on tiles I do Fred

@Fred-nv9vg thanks mate I actually havnt tryed tiles but would like to give it a go any info on speeds and power I should try?? Yeh I’m not sure if they all come with this installed I didn’t realise mine did when I’m purchased it wasn’t until I opened it up and realised it had the plug and switch

10 mm/sec and 50% power will do 10mm mdf

Hi my machine has been great I haven’t had any problems this far only small things here and there but it’s definitely been a good machine

Yeh I have herd that but I think I’ll be right mate, they would have bigger fish to fry than a guy who has 300 views on a video lol 🤟🏽

Yes of course not sure why I didn’t think of that lol thanks for the heads up that would make things a lot easier will use that on the next one cheers, Matt

@@woodendayzhope to see more videos

Thank you mate I appreciate that and thanks for the advice I will have another look at this cheers, Matt

Yeh mate research is key 👍🏽

@@woodendayzthanks for making this video. I’m trying to really learn about the safety hazards, the maintenance, the extra things I need like the air assist for fires, the chiller and stuff like that. Any thoughts on what to research? What problems I’m going to encounter and how to best setup my station? Do you have a surge protector or anything special for power?

Just research C02 lasers in general yeh you should have a serge protector on the laser itself iv been very fortunate with mine as I havnt had many problems at all my machine had been great I did the air assist myself using the ultimate air assist kit that I bought from Amazon and that made a huge difference so definitely recommend doing that

Hey mate, yeh you do but it’s very very minimal compared to the honeycomb in most cases barley even noticeable 🙂

This one is 80w vevor c02 laser machine!

Yeh defiantly lol

Hey mate, Thanks, yeh it can definitely do mugs and glasses you just need to purchase the rotary tool part, it has the plug connection on the machine. But it doesn’t come with the machine, Thanks for watching 👍🏽

@@woodendayz thanks mate keep up the great videos

Yes absolutely it is 😊

No not on this model

Hey mate, it doesn’t cut it backwards/mirrored it’s only on my machine screen that it’s mirrored it can be changed in Lightburn but I’m not too sure how as I havnt done it I did change it early on but for some reason it messed up my parameter space so I couldn’t cut anything, thanks for watching mate, Cheers Matt

Green stuff? Yeh I would contact them I’m not sure what that would be is it comming from the tube area??

@@woodendayz yes, the tube area

They said that’s how they test the machine with antifreeze

Yeh it sure does although iv never used it. Did you get the same machine?

@@woodendayz yes, I was wondering. I’m soo new to this. I’m just waiting on my compressor & chiller. Do you know when you’re going to do more videos? Your videos really encouraged me to buy this machine.

@themeditationcorner6531 Thank you and yeh I’m definitely gonna do more videos soon including another review as iv had the machine for about a year and a half now so just update on how it’s been working and what problems iv run into along the way. Exciting times ahead for you I was so keen to get mine 😊

Exciting News I would love to see a video on you using the pass through@@woodendayz

Hey mate, yeh there arnt any good places iv found Bunnings is where I get my 3mm ply and mdf from they say to use laser ply but the stuff from Bunnings seems to work well if you can find straight/flat pieces 😂🤣

Hi Wendy, no problem, there a 3.175mm bit I use 2 types 2 flute straight cut and also a spiral down cut I find the spiral down cut good for cutting things out and the 2 flute is good for pocket routing as in clearing out material i purchase mine from eBay I just buy the cheaper ones you use more but get more for the money 😊 hope this helps cheers, Matt

Thankyou! Yes it sure does help!
