ty for this video and you're link. i just cancelled my order. i had order them separately i didn't know i could buy the rotary together so it cost more separately on amazon so we both are winners lol😊
We recently purchased the LaserPecker 2 and used it to engrave dog tags at a conference last week. Worked great except that the only way you can see if the dog tag is lined up correctly under the laser is by taking off the safety goggles, which is obviously not good for the eyes. Do you have advice for this?
Nice review. Can you give me the measurements of the tumbler and the graphics engrave on it. I'm considering buying one for a project but I need to engrave by the size of 1" x 7" tall. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for the great demo! I design and build about six custom vacuum tube guitar amplifiers a year, I use 3mm 6061 aluminum plate for the controls and jacks. But my lettering leaves much to be desired, I came across this affordable laser which I hope can make my control panels look professional. Do you think I can get deep enough engraving on aluminum plate to then squeegee black enamel into the letters, or maybe just use the spray coating to get black lettering on aluminum? I'd be using slab or trolley mode as the panels are 3 inches by 17 inches. I figure I'd machine the holes on CNC, sand and polish the aluminum, then run it through the engraver hopefully getting the text like Volume, Bass, Treble, Input, etc. to land aligned with the holes. Thanks again, I'd be interested in your experience with aluminum and aligning a long piece to something that is already CNC'ed for holes.
If it was a slight curve, it shouldn’t be a problem. The problem is when it gets to be too curved, the laser will be out of focus in different spots. You can split the difference between the highest and lowest spot on your piece. Are you thinking something like a flask? Those seem to work well using that method. If it’s completely round, just use the roller attachment.
Could you help me please, Im trying to engrave flask water bottles but I can’t seem to get the design to go around the whole bottle and the preview for it only shows a line without it turning the bottle and showing me exactly where it is going to go
Thanks for this awesome review! Does it have a camera for you to line up the image precisly where you want it? (size it and center it) or is your only option moving the material around?
Thank you. No, there’s no camera. With how fast the framing feature is, it’s not really necessary. It basically projects an exact outline of your design.
hello mr powell, i went to the site link for the machine, my main useage for this machine would be logos on glassware, for weddings, sports etc do i put masking tape in the laser area on the glass or do i use that spray you mentioned, if the spray can you provide a link so i can get that along with the machine, as i see you get credit. do you have any recommendations for doing glasses, i know i would have to use the rollers.
Hi I just got my machine .. however the trolly function is not working . When I start preview ..it moves fine but when I start engraving it doesn't move and engraves on the machine itself
I just u boxed mine and watched your video but when I go to burn the laser fires but does nothing to the material. The beam definitely doesn’t look as strong as yours. Any suggestions for me?
Very informative, do you think it would spot weld small plastic pieces together? I’m looking for something light weight like this laser for my art work. Trying to stay away from chemicals and thanks excess toxic smoke.
Hey man really hope you see this. For the Thermo part you said settings were 100% power and 100% depth. But you cut time in half by changing to 50% power but didn’t say what you changed the depth to. Did you keep depth at 100%? Thanks in advance!
You said for the dog tags you use what sounded like "this dry molly spray lube" but didn't show the product or how to use it. Can't find it addressed in comments either. If you could expand on that, I would appreciate it.
No it won’t work on copper. It only discolors stainless or will remove coatings from metal like the anodized aluminum business cards I showed in the video.
Good video! Wondering if this will work for my business. Does it engrave as clean as something more industrial? I want to engrave 2-3mm deep into hardwood, mainly wondering if the lines are clean and crisp? cheers
@@ChrisPowellFSD my 75 watt single head had a 21 foot table took up a two car garage and was $145,000 then epilog comes around with their 25 watt 45,000 boat anchor super glad lasers are cheaper this is a clever design and it has built-in safety well done!
I guess I probably don’t use lightburn to it’s fullest potential. I don’t see myself needing any more for this. The software is fine for me. Even on my x tool. They added the ability to use lightburn, but I never do.
@@ChrisPowellFSD such as l Ike i said (creating own gcode), try to burn in gcode the laser works totaly different then. There are already some free examples. The windows software is bad, cant make it work and a lot of other users cant. When downloading a picture or image and you want to adjust, well good luck not a nice program for that. Adjust vectors and nods (impossible). Trace image (not really possible) Need more?
@@deusexmachina8279 gotcha. That’s all stuff I do with illustrator. Lightburn never seemed like a good option for designing. Too clunky. The only benefit I see to lightburn is being able to designate different operations based off their color. That doesn’t seem like something I’d really need to do with this machine though.
I owned the laser pecker 2... completely horrible machine. The APP is NOT user friendly and lacks many basic features to edit. It soley relies on this APP which converts images to really poor G Code. I tested the LP2 laser power with a Ophir Photonics meter and got only 3.8W and very poor wave oscillating wave length. This machine BARELY marks anodized aluminum and does not have the power to utilize marking sprays. Falsely advertised to "engrave metal"... Needs major improvement in its app
Maybe they have made improvements since you’ve used it. Works fine for me. I also had no problem marking stainless, anodized aluminum, or using marking sprays. All with the app, which seemed incredibly user friendly 🤷♂️

I want one of these. I can think of tons of uses. Thanks for the video Chris.
I’m still coming up with things to use it for.
I feel the same way too .
I can think of a million things to do with this machine .
It's awesome
Hi you did a pretty cool video on the laser pecker 2 don't know why the laser in my laser pecker 2 isn't coming on
I love this laser for the ability for long projects without having to tile files and hope you line everything up perfectly.
Definitely
Love the shirt!!!! It should be a nice button up with the same logo though.
Thanks 🙏
Could you show us a little more on how you input the imaging into the software(ie. Prepping the images, like your tumbler)?
Yea I’ll put a video together on that

Hey Chris. Do you think this could engrave a 12mm stone bead?
Wow brilliant bud damn it now I want one of these too lol
Haha it’s definitely a cool one
Great video! Would you recommend the LaserPecker 2 as a good first laser for small hike business engraving coasters and other small crafts?
Thanks
Thanks. Yea I think it would be great for that. It’s the most user friendly one I’ve tested so far.
@@ChrisPowellFSD thank you
can engrave a small drill bit to? i need it for that. thank you

What are the settings for cutting acrylic 3mm sheet
Hello, is it possible for them to put a brand on a knife?
I would like to know what settings to use to engrave on glass and any particular method you can recommend

Hi may i know this laserpecker 2 can engraving glass bottle like perfume glass bottle and wine bottle?
Yes but you would need to coat it with something. I use cold galvanizing spray paint. Then you just use paint remover to get it off.
@@ChrisPowellFSD Thank you very much for the infos. ^_^
@@ChrisPowellFSD may i know what is the setting to laser & depth engrave for the glass bottle? ^_^

Yes
Hi Chris, Thank you making this video. Do you think this laser machine can be used to engrave Silicone Plates/Bib/Bowl for babies ?
Thanks for this awesome review! Does it have a camera for you to line up the image precisly where you want it? (size it and center it) or is your only option moving the material around?
Thank you. No, there’s no camera. With how fast the framing feature is, it’s not really necessary. It basically projects an exact outline of your design.
How do you know if the image is lined up correctly for cylinder mode?
Question. Did you get this from Amazon or their website?
Can the laserpecker 2 engrave pictures??
And are 5 watt lasers to weak for small businesses?
Yes they can. It would be fine for a small business.
@@ChrisPowellFSD How would you go on engraving pictures?
I just got one and this is a great video! Thanks for the tips, I can't wait to play around.
Awesome!
Man I want one of those .
I feel like I can make a ton of money with it .
What's the price on it ?
With all the trimmings
I think they’re like $1080. There’s a link in the description.
Is that a standard size tumbler? I have to tilt my laser.
They’re about 2” diameter
I have the laser pecker 2 but my trolley, cylinder, and slab modes do not move at all
Maybe there’s a problem with the plug or wires connecting to the roller

With glass you’ll have to use something like cold galvanized spray paint.
Can it go any direction in trolly mode to do a big piece? Or just in a straight line?
Just in a straight line. That would be cool if they made a model that could drive all over a surface though.
Do you know if this would work on painted wood for a sign like the address one you demo’d?
Yes it would
@@ChrisPowellFSD Thanks so much for your reply! Great video and crazy helpful!
Hi I just got my machine .. however the trolly function is not working . When I start preview ..it moves fine but when I start engraving it doesn't move and engraves on the machine itself
I would check all of your cables and contact the manufacturer.
Great video! Do you think this laser would work on golf clubs??
If they’re stainless steel it would mark them. If they’re anodized aluminum it will remove the anodizing.
I bought the L3 and hate it. Only works half of the time. Seriously, it will fail to etch on simple jobs that worked the day before.
Thanks for the review
Doses it engrave jewellery pendants?
Can I engrave names from my choice?
It can mark stainless. Yes you can put whatever you want on it.
I just u boxed mine and watched your video but when I go to burn the laser fires but does nothing to the material. The beam definitely doesn’t look as strong as yours. Any suggestions for me?
What are your settings?
Very informative, do you think it would spot weld small plastic pieces together? I’m looking for something light weight like this laser for my art work. Trying to stay away from chemicals and thanks excess toxic smoke.
I wouldn’t think it would. That would definitely make some toxic fumes.

How small can it go, like is good for engraving stainless steel jewerly claps ?
The beam is .08mm, so it can go very small
What are the chances this works on painted titanium? Is a fiber laser really needed?
It should be able to burn the paint off any painted surface. It just won’t engrave the metal itself.
You said for the dog tags you use what sounded like "this dry molly spray lube" but didn't show the product or how to use it.
Can't find it addressed in comments either.
If you could expand on that, I would appreciate it.
I have got one the laser light works but doesn’t engrave on any material can u plz suggest what i can do
Have you contacted the manufacturer?
Will it works on the back of a silver ipad?
It should
How did you get it to engrave up and down on the roller? Everything I tried still comes out sideways
You might need to rotate the image
@@ChrisPowellFSD I've tried that. It still printed the same way. Everything g came out sideways
What program do you use to create your image to then convert to a jpeg?
All of these were just done in the app. If you’re trying to make something from scratch you can use photoshop, illustrator, or any design program
Hello I want to buy this engraver for my company but i m not sure it gonna fit well. Can we speak about it ?
What other info do you need?
@@ChrisPowellFSD We need to try our product because it has a specific wooden sheet coating. Can you give me your e-mail to speek deeply about it :)
How long did the tumbler take to finish?
About 30 mins
So it's not the size of the pecker, it's all about how you use it.
That’s correct 🤷♂️
Price ? And where to buy ?
There’s a link in the description
Definitivamente es mucho mejor el LaserPecker 2 que su antecesor el LP1 ... con todos los extras mejor aún !!!
I am planning to buy this engraver.
Does this work on copper?
Can we engrave 1000 pcs or more continuously?
No it won’t work on copper. It only discolors stainless or will remove coatings from metal like the anodized aluminum business cards I showed in the video.

It would probably need to be done in multiple passes.
Is it still working, mine didn’t last 6 months
Yes
Told ya so - it has now become a laser obsession as I predicted after the first video… now if only you could get Epilog to send you one…
