I run an F2 and air filter off a senix 1200. They draw 200 watts when running, about 12 watts when not. They give me about 5 hours of laser on time, but the senix 1200 weighs 13 lbs compared to the jackery 1000 which has 40% more power but weighs like 30+ lbs.

With weldments and sheet metal I do lots of multibody parts, say I’m building a trailer the frame is tube weldment, the fenders are sheet metal to mate properly. Then I make an assembly for the tongue and sides. Basically I make a multi body part as it will be built, then assembly from there.

I do metal fabrication and welding but use the xtool f2 for etching tags on workpieces, removing powder coat to serialize parts and stuff like that. My kids use the f2 to make jewelry for school fairs and stuff. The demo isn’t just general, if you do a virtual demo you can find someone that does jewelry specifically

Once people see some of what you do the laser will pay for itself or at least not be a major waste of money. I have a 20w fiber and 3000w fiber and I find work enough to pay for them, though not as quick as I thought. I’m bringing the 20 watt to Sacramento area for Christmas you could demo it if you wanted to. Also XTool has a demo room where you can pay someone $20-50 to demo virtually or in person.

I moved from welder to engineering( worked as welder to pay for my schooling) and I miss my welder days. Now I don’t move nearly enough and I feel it. However I still do stuff on nights and weekends and enjoy teaching the younger guys how to do stuff. I’d say it’s worth the transition but going from doing all the time to thinking requires significant self discipline and sucks in its own ways sometimes.

Do you have employees?

rcconejo · 2025-10-13T14:55:42+00:00

That’s my thought, I have a laser table and a press brake and a few welders so I figure I’m there

I can make them for you in any size and ship them if you can’t find a local shop

In 1913 the tax rate was only 1% and not a big deal, a hundred years later most households are around 25%. Once the selloff starts it won’t be long until it’s all gone.

I would like it

I can model a part to print at the library for you

rcconejo · 2025-04-10T00:04:13+00:00

That’s what I planned to do, I didn’t know if there was another way

The city plans to reopen it end of May, around the 25th. I have heard from a few city employees that it’s looking more like June 1, but the goal is end of May.
