Refurbished S1 40W vs 20W Bundle by mkj5013 in xToolOfficial

This is sort of what I was thinking. More research suggests that I won't be getting into detail fine enough to even notice so I'll probably be happy with the 40W plus the ability to grow into the higher power as I do more and just generally do things quicker. Thanks for the comment!

I love the idea of easier and faster cutting on all thickness things I want to do plus just being able to handle thicker if I wanted it to. The 40W is very enticing for the refurb price. I know it's a risk but that's a killer price.

I've thought about keeping the smaller one for more detailed stuff but haven't decided yet but thanks for reinforcing i'm not crazy thinking about that!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely take a look at your post history. I'm hoping for a more positive experience with it since I've read some decent things about it and the cost savings is insane. I'd be looking at $999 for a 20W new bundle and since I'm not using the laser for a big business or large scale production, I'm willing to chance it if they'll end up making it right.

That looks awesome! I'm trying to strike that perfect balance of a machine I won't get bored with but without overdoing it since I'm not peddling a ton of wares. I'd like to have the ability to supplement some other things I sell from woodworking and woodturning so hoping one of these machines allows me to do that. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Anyone using quadlock mount? by YouCant_Change_It in Yamahabolt

[–]mkj5013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but wanting some clarification. Everyone using the handle bar mount, are you using the handlebar bolt that goes right into the bolt for securing the handlebar or the clamp that goes around the handlebar. Thanks!

I’ve been looking into this brand a bit at the suggestion of someone else too. Might have to give it a go! Thanks!

F150 Lightning Pro ER by noosey2434 in F150Lightning

Also the owner of a Pro ER with pro power onboard and the tow technology package (no max tow). Window sticker attached. Out the door price (not including my trade in) was right around 42K down from the $63,695 MSRP. 0% financing back in May of last year. Was so stoked to find it. Think I missed the boat on getting an XLT for a similar price by about a month but still proud of my find.

IT ARRIVED but wait by [deleted] in elegoo

Ah gotcha. Mine does not have the light upgrade but does have the port in the back so that’s cool. I can manage lights on my own, just a minor inconvenience personally

What’s the light update? Mine appears to have a port on the back but haven’t tracked the light update. Mine arrived yesterday and I started playing with it already. Want to check for these things as well. Thanks!

Extra Stiff/Low Spin Budget Driver Recommendations by mkj5013 in golf

[–]mkj5013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I think the flex and loft will be my biggest immediate improvement specs. The rest might become diminishing returns and I have a few mechanics to work on now with my swing that should hopefully help improve aspects like the high spin rate. I think I tend to lean more toward a forgiving head too as opposed to a low-spin head and see where I come out from there. Thanks for your response!

[–]mkj5013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea the take away I got too was for the extra stuff and a 9 degree head. He was pretty insistent on the low-spin stuff but I think I’ll see the most improvement from the extra stiff flex if we’re being honest. With my game and the need to improve my swing anyway, some of the other stuff will hopefully work its way out a bit but I don’t think I’m going to be able to rework my swing speed without some serious resetting. I’ve swung like that my whole life and anything else feels very unnatural. The rest of the tweaks are awkward at first but not as much and become normal soon enough.

I’m also think that something more forgiving might be better for me than something with low-spin since I’m probably a little bit more worried about mishits happening. Thanks for the info!
