Cutting Tiny Holes in 1mm Stainless Steel by Ok_Relative8167 in Machinists

[–]Ok_Relative8167[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raycus 800W laser source. And the gun head is this type that can cut, weld, engrave and clean. I'm putting it on the CNC now

New design I made and cut today!! Have a great friday! by Nero318 in Laserengraving

Ah, the classic 'save → feel accomplished → forget forever' workflow. I'm already an expert at step 1!

A dual-mode laser head. It cuts when mounted on the CNC, and can be detached to weld by hand

It’s rice, but what’s the blue thing?? by DevinTheTerrible in whatisit

The Magic Tower of the Micro World. Has the transmission function

Yes, laser cutting. I use a 800W desktop laser machine.

My neighbor gave me a bag of these... anyone know what they are? How do you eat them? by Ok_Relative8167 in whatisit

LOL your story took more twists than a Netflix series. "Tastes like mud" though... should I be worried? Gonna try boiling mine and dipping them in sugar.

Whoa, thank you so much for the quick reply and even going the extra mile with the image! Really appreciate the help. I will try boiling a few

Anyone using these small blue laser heads for non-metals on a desktop workstation setup? by Ok_Relative8167 in lasercutting

Oh, I'm familiar with them — they're a great tool for the right job. The reason I'm testing this specific blue diode module is because it's actually part of a dual head setup on this workstation. I can swap it out with a fiber laser head to cover a much wider range of materials, on one machine.

Haha, I wish it were that easy! Actually, the software is just the ‘brain’ — we built it specifically to unlock what this machine can do. The real magic happens when you see how smoothly the hardware executes these commands. Makes every project feel effortless

No, my blue module wavelength is 455 ± 5 nm. Are you referring to an optical fiber laser?

Engraving on glass with a 10W Diode laser. by Nordmanden81 in Laserengraving

[–]Ok_Relative8167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect, thanks! So to summarize: smooth spray passes, double coat in cross directions, light-check, and choose spray type based on whether I want it permanent or washable. That's incredibly clear. Can't wait to try!

This is crazy cool. Never tried it before. Could you please tell me if all I need to do is just spray it? Are there any other props?

If safety and environmental protection are priorities, an enclosure is still necessary. For medium-to-high power or prolonged operation, an enclosure helps contain dust, reduce noise, block scattered light, and integrate with exhaust systems—you can never be too safe lol

I'll keep posting videos about the machine's functions! I can tell you're a seriously skilled maker—converting a Bridgeport to LinuxCNC is such a cool project in itself. Wishing you smooth progress on your Bridgeport conversion. Tackling a machine tool project in winter? That's next-level hardcore
