    hey mate, was wondering if you could help with basic settings with my laser cutter to get a cleaner cut always leaving a brunt mark around the edges

He just hasn't posted recently and it is concerning. I came across your video and your machines look awesome! Loving the exhaust off to the left under the laser as well!

    Very nice cut, are you using the aquarium pump for air assist, or do you have something more powerful?

    Do you make them for sale?

    I'm somewhat new to the concept of laser cutting, mind if I ask whether there is a maximum thickness that a laser cutter can handle??

      Hey John! So my 50/60w can cut up to 1/4" (Baltic birch plywood and MDF)
      My 80/100w (shown here) has the ability to cut up to 3/4" Baltic birch (real slow),you get quite scorched edges, but it IS possible. You will need a 2" (50.8mm) lens. I use the 2" lens for everything I do.

    I wonder how much pressure/flow air assist do You use? What is the sweet spot?

    • @TylerHarney
      @TylerHarney  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The airflow is on full blast, I forget what wattage my air assist is, 117 watts maybe? I'll check the next time I'm at my shop. The only time I turn it down, is cutting acrylic to give that polished edge.

      I have an 80W Reci Tube but 40mm/sec at 60% powe is fast and the edges aren't as burnt... I envy your machine... 🙂... Great job
      Need to re look my settings... Maybe its the wood?... I've been trying to cut MDF and it takes two passes at 18 mm/s at 80% power... 😕...
      Is it.. the Mo mirrors?... Or lens?... Alignment is perfect...

    • @jonathanoeijoeng
      @jonathanoeijoeng 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      wow.. your beam alignment and focus must be very perfect so it can cut at speed 40mm/s. I have 100w RECI and I dont think I can cut that fast.
