Just the video I was looking for as I just bought a 20W engraver. Thank you Skylar.
You are very welcome
Nice job explaining everything, enjoy your day.
Thank you
You’re the box girl.
Congratulations for your talents!
Thanks
Fantastic! Thank you for doing LASER stuff!
More to come!
What a great review of the 30w Longer Laser. Seems very very well built. Awesome project also. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Hi Norm! Thank you
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Beautiful marauetry.
Great laser video, thank you for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bellissima 😮 complimenti
Love watching your videos well done
Glad you like them!
fantastic, never done laser engraving before, will be interesting to try it out, even though i aint great with computers. looking fantastic btw!
Thank you. I am not good with computers but this is pretty easy
NIce idea with your set up type blocks for laser power for each type of cuts and wood.
Thanks Bob
Brilliant video✌️
I am so glad you liked it Stephen
Great review and video thank you. Dont worry, your english is better than most.
Thank you
Beautiful job veri interesting
Thank you very much
Great stuff, just bought a shaper origin but to get more detail I may save up to get the lazer engraver , great review, looking good ❤
Awesome, thank you!
just hit the sub button, great info on the box link, I am new to lasers, just got an Algolaser sent to me to demo on my channel, but in all the channels I have watched nobody showed the box link ….great discussion/builds
GREAT product review AND build. For me, it's the software that's holding me back. It was hard enough to learn SketchUp. That box program is a real game changer, thanks! !! !!! Although I cannot find where to download the program.
Glad it was helpful! The software is really easy. You can learn the basics in 30 minutes or so. I bought sketchup but couldn’t figure it out. I am not computer savvy
Great video! For a long time I've been going back and forth about whether I really want and/or would use a laser engraver. I think your video has convinced me to give it a go. Btw, it seems the cost of lasers have come down quite a bit recently. Last time I looked a 30w in this price range was out of the question.
Hi Bob! If you decide to buy this laser please use my link and discount code from the description to get 20% off. I am now in the middle of editing the full review of this laser with tons of examples of what it can do. Hopefully will post it by tomorrow
I didn't read all the comments and your answers, maybe you have already answered this. What software and computer are you using for this? Just windows and the software from the laser company? Awesome video, I had no idea all this could be done with a laser. Your learning curve/ teaching curve is very fast.
How many passes for cutting different wood types?
Okay that pretty much settles it. I'd been shopping around, looking at those cheap CNCs, thinking about doing a conversion. But this looks like a far better way to go.
Funny thing is yesterday I took a CNC class. Cnc is far more expensive and harder to use. The program is really expensive too. Cnc also take a lot of space in shop
@@woodworkingwithSkylerTrue. I've got some light machining background, so my mind goes in the direction of CNC quite naturally. But I think it's time to stop thinking of laser engravers/cutters as "crippled CNCs."
@@madwilliamflint it all depends on what you want to do. I’d you want to do 3d carving CNC is the one to go. Also depends on how good you are with computers. I had a company reach out to me and the wanted to gift me a Cnc in return for an honest review. My immediate reaction was”yes” . But then looked into it and first thing I saw was that most good CNC programs only work on Windows. The only one that work on Mac is Fusion 360. But that is the most advanced program, hard to learn and it cost almost $600 a year. I still consider it and thought about buying a Windows pc just for this and signed up for a Cnc class at my local Rockler store so I can learn more about it. I then saw, this is not the machine for me and lasers is so much easier, less space and cheaper. Talking about lasers, Xtool contact me and offered me a CO2 laser in return for an honest review. ($5000 machine). I had to say no because it’s a big heavy machine that I don’t have the space in my shop for. CO2 machines are better then diode lasers( faster and more powerful) but comes with a price, more space, heavier, more maintenance etc. you need to look at what works for you, what you need it for and what tool will give you that at what cost
Skyler do you know if this laser can engrave wooden pens? Also, is there a way to vent this laser so all that smoke is not left lingering in the work area? Thi s was a very informative video. I am currently in the market for one, just not sure which one. If I decide on the Longer, I will definitely get it so that your channel gets a contribution. Thank you again!
Skyler, in all the other vids I saw on lasers, they always warn you about the sometimes toxic smell from the laser operation. They even recommend air extraction. Any comments?
Yes, laser produces smoke and smells terrible. Thats why is recommended to have an enclosure with exhaust . I have one for each of my lasers but didnt use it for the video. I will show it when I film the review of Creality Falcon 2 laser
🌹
@ 0:13 I knew This was going an interesting video, the kind of video that would hold my full attention .
:)
Excellent production, as always. I am richer in time than in money but function is very important to me. What, other than the time spent in additional repetitions of cuts would I be giving up by buying a 10W laser? Given enough time can a 10W cut through the same thickness wood as a 30W?
Thanks.
no, it can not. doesnt matter how many times you cut over same area it has a limit. 10 W can cut materials but not very thick ones . 10 W ones are great if you do engraving. If you are planning on cutting, you should consider a 20W as that 10 W is very Limited in cutting
@@woodworkingwithSkyler I do appreciate your help with my question. So the 20W cuts considerably thicker material?
@@phildalton2958 here is a review I did of Xtool 20W to give you an idea on cutting capabilities of a 20W laser. Best diode laser money can buy! XTOOL D1 PRO 20W laser engraver. Xtool D1 Pro 20W laser review

Nice video on the use of the laser engraver it was very interesting and well done. You are getting much better with your videos and also i must say I do enjoy the saw dust catchers, all the guys do too, but I am just bold enough to tell you. Keep them up and keep up the good work!!!!!!!
Men of culture. Welcome to Boobytown. A land where the motorboats a plenty.
Thank you. Is this worth the extra or do you think it would be better for me to get the Ray 5 20W? I am an enthusiastic amateur wanting etch and cut at least 6mm pine
I think is worth it. Better more sturdier base, plus has limit switches
Right, thanks. I didn't realise that the Ray 5 20W didn't have limit switches. I realise the B1 doesn't have a offline control box. Is this a worry for you. Can you point out any other benefits of the B1 please?
@@woodworkingwithSkyler
I would love to do both , cutting & engraving , just watched your video on the xtool, Which , in your opinion would you go with seeing what they both come with ??. Thank you , so informative , i respect your opinion. I have no laser at this time .
Here is my honest opinion. If you are doing just engraving, go with Xtool 20W. If you do engraving and cutting then: if money is a issue, get Longer 30W . It comes with air assist and is under 1000$. You still need to buy enclosure and honey comb. If money is not an issue, get Xtool 40w and buy the air pump, enclosure and honey comb grid. Whatever you choose if you decide to buy one please use my link…. Thank you
Thank you so very much for your opinion. This will be my first laser , so kind of want a good all in one type. What is the enclosure ? you bet i will use your links.@@woodworkingwithSkyler
@@nicholaskindred929 enclosure is a box like a tent that your machine sits it. It has a window do you can see your machine, a “door” that either unzips or is a magnetic flap so so can access the machine and an exhaust fen with a hose so all the smoke produced it vented out ( you need to put machine next to a window or door so you can stick out the hose. When cutting it produces a lot of smoke and fumes is not good to breathe. The enclosure will help with that. They are not expensive. Each brand has their own or you could purchase 3th party on Amazon just make just it fits your machine frame.
Thank you for getting back too me , don't mean to be a bother. Ok , i see what your talking about. Thank you very much for your time on all that . One other question if you don't mind . Can it engrave cylindrical objects like pens , cups ect. ? . I turn pens & some people would like thier names on them. Definately will use your links .@@woodworkingwithSkyler
@@nicholaskindred929 if you want to engrave cylindrical objects, you need to purchase the rollers. Xtool I think calls it Ra2
Im curious, after u finish it, how much would u charge for something like that??
I dont know... I dont sell my stuff.....YET
Is this laser considered the basic, the standard, or the pro model? All 3 are listed on your link at different prices
The B1 is their pro model
I haven't used my Full Spectrum 40 W laser for a couple of years. I used it mostly to make parts for my model railroad. I saw some of the engraving you have done and was impressed. I never used it to engrave much. What do you use as a source for some of your images ? Rich S Fine Kindling woodworking.
Sorry in the us we go buy inches not mm the viewer have to figure out and convert
:) I use both. I live in Maine but from Romania originally
@@woodworkingwithSkyler it’s ok I thought I would let you know people from the us has to convert it over thanks for replying I love the series
the rest of world are very happy with the metric
@@outbak2 that’s because you was brought up on it now this day and time someone says now your going to start using inches
I bought this laser two weeks ago cut three small projects with now it don't work and longer is not getting back to me.
anyone watching this video I would be careful about this machine.
I am so sorry you are having problems with your laser. When you say it doesnt work..... what part of the laser doesnt work?
It's not doing a lot of things it's not homing don't do a trace I just turned it on one morning it home alright but then when I went to do a trace on my project it went everywhere but where it was supposed to. Thank god Longer got a hold of me and they said they would send me new Machine Thank you Longer.
Try doing it by hand, too much technology, yuk
I love wood working, that was impressive Skyler, those 2 woods look great together, like on a guitar top, flamed 🍁 , those (•)(•) where the best I've ever seen at the end, wow, where do u have prices for ur projects?
