Video Tutorials — Laser Project

Tired of struggling to secure your materials onto your laser machine's honeycomb bed? Tiring to laser cut warped plywood or other bent woods?Well, in this post and video, I’ll show you multiple methods to safely and quickly attach material to your laser cutting machine's honeycomb bed. The first and original method I used as hold downs was magnets.I typically use three different types of magnets: For thin materials like veneers, I use small button magnets: Available HereFor ⅛” (3mm) plywoods I use bar magnets: Available HereFor thick materials or materials that are very warped, I use these powerful utility magnets:...

In this video, we're going to look at engraving metal with a co2 laser. Although you can't technically engrave metal with a CO2 laser, you can use your CO2 laser to etch metal otherwise known as "marking" the metal. Although the metal isn't actually removed as it would be in an engraving process, it is permanently marked, which works well for many applications, although it won't give you deep laser engravings. This process also works well for etching metal with diode laser engraver.

In this video, we'll be looking at making a Puzzle Storage Box with an included laser cut lizard puzzle. For this laser cut project, I'll be using my 50-watt co2 laser cutter.

For tutorial should also work fine for Glowforge projects. *****Download SVG files ***** https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1souhm5nlpGkmYoAgArwsQiZ-7fNjwfc1?usp=sharing Laser Cut Box Generator Site: https://www.festi.info/boxes.py/

Today we're going to be looking at installing an mA Meter on a 50w laser cutter.Having a milliamp meter installed on your CO2 laser cutter will let you better monitor the power output of your laser cutting machine.My CO2 laser engraver is similar to the popular k40 laser cutter and other Chinese laser engravers, so the installation process should be similar for other machines, like an 80w laser cutter.
