This video will give you the settings needed to get jet black text and designs on your stainless steel products and projects. More below ......................
At Left
Select/enable 2 hatch patterns as show
Hatch 1 45 degrees with pattern as shown 0.02 line distance
Hatch 2 -45 degrees same pattern and line spacing.
Mack loop 1
Speed 50
Power 35
Frequency 25
Remember, this will work on stainless steel only. Set the head to 3mm above your usual focal point.
Do a test engrave on a square and while its engraving jog the head up or down till you start to see it coming through black. You should not have any sparks flying out. The first pass will be dark, the second pass will finish it jet black.

We have a Raycus 50w and S 100, P 35, F 25 with a 1mm positive off-set worked well. It is all about heating up the metal and oxidisation to get a dark mark. You can double speed and still get a reasonably dark marking as 100mm/s is pretty slow.

@bonesshed. Жыл бұрын

Yes, there are balance points using various setting I believe. I just know this setting works very well.

@ryankawash2847 Жыл бұрын

Do you mind sharing your settings with the raycus 50w? I have a JPT 50W and i can't imagine the settings are that much different. Right now i am engraving stainless steel at 50mm/s and it's way too slow

@DroneGuru Жыл бұрын

Do you have predefined settings for MOPA 30W, which I can import in EZCAD2? I really face the struggle of choosing the correct settings.

It's a great video, I've tried it, it's black, but can it be faster?

@bonesshed. Жыл бұрын

You can certainly speed things up but I dont think you will get the same affect. maybe speed it up and add a tad more power ? I only need to engrave small items in black but I can see how it would take forever on a larger piece !

Does this work on all fibre lasers? I have Atomstack M4 Fibre laser and it only does white engraving. I want BLACK engraving on stainless steel jewelry

@bonesshed. 9 ай бұрын

I should imagine so. If youre getting a white engrave I would check your power is high enough.

Does it work with 30W fiber laser? or is it necesary to use a 50W one??...and beside that, ¿what machine are you using? Thanks for your content

@rumblemumbles 2 жыл бұрын

I have Raycus 50W from China, i want to change the frequency to 25 the same as yours, but they say it will damage the laser and they will not guarantee it. Is it safe to change the frequency of my laser? Or other way can i get into?

@bonesshed. 2 жыл бұрын

Hi.. Im not sure to be honest. If the settings are changeable in the EzCad program I dont see why you couldnt. The best person to speak to is Alex at youtube channel laser everything kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aK2ghpZ0p9i9Z4U.html&ab_channel=LaserEverything You could try it as it is at 50w and just twiddle the power and speed. If you have a 50w try raise the speed and lower the power. eventually you will find a sweet spot . Good luck :-)

We have a Raycus 50W and I can adjust frequency between 20 - 80 KHz if you look on the saycus website and look up you laser specialists I think thy can handle that range.

what is the parameter of Black marking text on Damascus steel knives?

@bonesshed. Жыл бұрын

Not sure without practicing. I would suggest multiple passes on a higher power setting. Keep settings on the left the same as here. Focus on the metal (don't offset like here) and try 10 passes at around 50% power. I have a flat bit of Damascus, I'll try find it and have a practice 👍

@bonesshed. 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Patricia, I got it from a company in the UK called custom laser. The internals Im not sure about but they appear to be of good quality and the machine is working well. The EZCAD2 software can be a bit glitchy sometimes when I use the rotary attachment, I dont know why. If you buy any machine with EZCAD I would make sure its EZCAD 3 as thats the newer version . www.customlasers.co.uk/

Hi, No idea to be honest. i think if you burn off the layer of gold with the laser you should get similar results but it would mean a bit of experimentation !

How do i find part height in easily cad?

@bonesshed. 7 ай бұрын

Sorry. I think you may have found it now ? Stop the vid @0:32 its at the bottom near the centre. you dont really need this though as you could focus manually first AND THEN de-focus up by 3mm. So focus first as usual, then jog the head up until it refocuses on something 3mm thick that you have laid on your table.

@bonesshed. it's coming out more of a dark Grey instead of that dark black look. Any ideas on what might be the issue?

@bonesshed. 7 ай бұрын

1) are you defo trying on stainless steel? 2) You're using the power settings as shown, including the two hatch patterns. 3) The 3mm off-set has to be quite precise or you will get a brown lookin engrave. I would suggest if you're following the above and vid that you're a tad not quiet the 3mm out of focus needed. Lemmi know @SirMinime
