As a tip, if you used the laser engraver to cut a round from a piece of cardboard with a hole in the center you could easily find the center. It's sort of like how people use the laser cutter to cut jigs for other laser projects.
You dont need to bother finding the center. You drop some scrap cardboard in the machine and cut holes for the coasters. This way you can engrave them all at once with no fuss. Also when you paint them you should put the coaster vertical because spray cans dont like spraying downwards for long.
+Robonza Hi Robona, thank you for your comment. These videos from our "Lasers in the Classroom" playlist are meant to give ideas for students and schools on what they can do with these laser machines, not necessarily for mass producing these items. But you are totally right if you are looking to do production work!
For those of you that want to use this center of coaster method for smaller projects instead of making a jig for multiple coaster placament, a centering square will come in handy and you can use it to find the center of all size circles so you can easily do tons of projects like this and there pretty cheap.
So I just learned how to use a laser engraver here at work. Its mainly used for metal, sometimes plastic but no ones used it for marble. That being said, i would like to engrave a small headstone for my wife’s cat and I’m unsure of the best settings for the laser. Ie frequency, scan speed, dot delay or if multiple passes are recommended. TIA
Hi Salma, any of our laser engraving machines can do this and you can control the engraving depth on things like marble - lower the speed. The depth is about 0.001" on these.
@@TrotecLaserCanada When I hatch the vector file, I can choose a lot of options. One of them is line distance. Most of the time i use 0.01 and 0.02. Do you know the best line distance for engrraving for marble? Another option is the laser direction: horizontal, vertical, or round. (We are engraving marble jars). Do you have any experience with the best settings?
Forgive a question from an ignorant American, but is this a center where customers can come in with DIY projects and do them with some assistance from the staff?
Thanks Fresc222, yes exactly - in the video we spray-painted the inside with a grey colour. If you don't want to have colour then you don't need to put the tape, the engraving will then just be white.
Trotec Canada I need the sapphire crystal caseback of my watch engraved. Only one piece although I may want to have a couple just in case one breaks down the road.
@@countdowntolife8867 in that case you would need to go to one of OUR customers as a laser service job. You can google "Laser engraving service" and find a local shop, or google "Makerspace" or "FabLab" to find a local one in your area where you can go and do it yourself. We hope that helps!

WTF with this trick to find the center of your coaster 🤣 dude use your laser just once and cut a template out of cardboard, or use a 3d printer, or a round piece of paper with a hole, or one of the 1000 other better ways do things quickly , seriously… sorry for this haters sh•• I’m Saying but why getting things complicated when they can be so simple (and accurate )

any work around it great lol
now figure one out to do my job :-)
I do the same. I have cut out 4 circles the same size of the coasters, in mdf. Then as long as my mdf jig is straight all my coasters will be fine.
Love the design on the coasters
Thanks!

So nice of u
What’s the wattage required to etch marble?
what is masking tape ? are this same paper tissue toilet ?
how much does it cost, im from philippines..and what's the model of this unit? thanks
We are looking at buying this machine for our stone company, on the speedy 400 do you use the co2 laser or fiber laser on the white marble?
Nice
Thanks
Do you have to seal the coasters after spraying them so they can be used?? If so, what do you recommend?
Hi, tks for sharing. Is masking tape a must?
Hi, how deep were the engravings? thank you for the video! and can you suggest more machines that can do the job other than this one? thanks :)
Hi Salma, any of our laser engraving machines can do this and you can control the engraving depth on things like marble - lower the speed. The depth is about 0.001" on these.
Thank you for the video. Is masking tape required if no painting is involved?
Nope, if you engrave without masking it will turn white.
what is the speed and power
Thank you for this great idea. I've been looking for a maskin tape like this for a while. What brand is it?
PinballViking are you in Canada? We sell it!

Hi what setting would you suggest for 5.5 diode laser ,IAM new to engraving
VSauce music!
We love vSauce!
nice...

What speed and power settings are you using?
100 power, 55 speed on Speedy 300 100w
Hi can u tell me what size these coasters are please thank u
I can put any color!
am I able to do the same laser positioning with the Ray Jet?
Were the coasters sealed prior to engraving? Or just raw marble? Thanks!
Hi! It was raw marble.

Not an ignorant question. We would recommend to go to a MakerSpace or FabLab in your area and they can assist you.
Cool, but no settings helps no one :(
I am interested in 3D engraving on metal , would you please help me or recommend me which one to buy
You would need a fiber laser to actually engrave metal. 3D engraving would not be possible on metal, usually on wood and acrylic
why do you need to put tape on the marble before laser engraving?
Thanks Fresc222, yes exactly - in the video we spray-painted the inside with a grey colour. If you don't want to have colour then you don't need to put the tape, the engraving will then just be white.
I need a sapphire crystal watch case back engraved. Can this also be done and where do I start with having this done?
yes you can engrave crystal with our laser. You just want one? Or selling them out?

Hey i want to run a engraving business how much investment it would required.
Were these engraved with the CO2 or fibre laser?

OK brilliant. We have a Speedy 300 80w. What settings were you using on the marble?
Power 100 Speed 45. You're looking to do a slower engrave to really get into the marble.

Not on stone, sorry
