"Science is magic that works". Ha love it and thanks for the shoutout!
Amana has a tool database available for free download on their website. It has ALMOST all of their bits. It can be imported into Vectric or Fusion.
I'm sure the CNC is CUT OUT for it.
Spreadsheet
cnc winns, if you ad 2 more axis 4sure, but money is just one of the problems
60k is really REALLY cheap for a 5 axis
Which one has more RADIATION? I worked 4 a company that was the 1st in the World & all others followed or copied
Can a laser machine cut through silver plates names meant to be pendants? The words are small.
Hi David, Quick question. Would you buy the 3W laser head for your stepcraft machine?
Hi, I cut by hand gold and silver plates (1 mm and 2 mm thickness) making names as pendants. What do you recommend cnc or laser? And please recommend the brand. Thanks
I hate when things smell like crotch and cancer.
Very helpful! Thank you.
8:55 – Yeah, I don't think that's what those tubes are called. Say the sentence in front of a woman and watch her expression.
What software are you using?
Love all the pros and cons you mentioned.
Why anyone would spend over $6k on a 45watt laser with a 2"x12"x20" cutting capacity totally amazes me. You can get a Thunder Laser or Aeon for that kind of money.
This GlowForge mania I will never ever understand. Just buy a chinese CO2 laser they are absolutely good enoug(lasers are not so complicated machines) and buy LaserBurn to it…the best software and cheap as well.. Never ever use cloud based soft which is limited and slow and need internet and you are in the hand of the seller if they go out of business you go also. Why people buy overpriced stuff like that?????
CYPHER…. SO THIS IS WHAT YOU DID AFTER MATRIX…. 😂
Why I have a CNC already and considering a 7W Laser attachment ? What are my limitations with the laser that a dedicated laser would have. Just off the top of my head I would have more project real estate.
I like the App idea. You could use MS Access to create a database that has all of the bits stored. Where would you get the details for the speeds and such for each bit? I might be onto something.
Both informative and entertaining, thanks!
With a laser. You can cut peices scaled up or down for a 3d puzzle that comes in flat peices…stack em and its dope I've done it plenty
"MDF is son of a bitch part". I fully agree with you.
weird i think the last video i saw of you was the new drill press or you building that corner. that was a while back. youtube hasnt pushed anything to my subs.
I see that a web-service is required for the expensive hardware I'm looking at, I run like hell. It is bad enough that people will end up with a lot of e-waste when IOT companies fold
Parabéns pelo vídeo e ensinamento, obrigado. Robertson (Brasil)
David. Dude. Come on. It’s not a glass “fallopian” tube. They’re Filipino tubes 🤦🏼♂️
