Every time your Thunder beeps when it's done, made me turn around to switch awards I have running in my laser! I had an appointment with a local winery yesterday, they want to buy out my business and have me work for him. Huge opportunity! I'm working on getting a UV and Fiber galvos myself. For all the people like me who don't have a website there is so much local work, get your butts up and deliver some free samples to local businesses. Small businesses is the life blood of our communities and a little good will by giving them a few freebies will almost guarantee work. Focus on QUALITY, and fast turn around times, you WILL succeed.

I'm in New Mexico. I had a meeting with the owner and i feel like he wants to buy some crazy high end equipment, CNC router, multiple lasers, 3D printers. Not only for promotional products, but because machienes go down, and parts are 10s of thousands of dollars, and months of wait time. They offered to put this equipment at MY HOUSE.... Huge huge huge oppertunity. go out and find yours! Matt has kept me motivated and everyone can do this.

I really like your videos and I hope for your continued growth and success. I do have a concern though as one aging dude to another. Matt you need to incorporate exercise in your daily life. No disrespect to you. I was locked down in my laser room at home when not lasering at my day job. I was so busy I started to put on 55 lbs that I didn't need. I bought a set on machine that you do squats and row motion at the same time. Full body workout brother. When I wait for my 3 lasers to stop, I'm rocking 5 sets of 25 on the machine and damn dude, I'm stronger and back down to 245. Just wanna see you healthier and alive for years to come still making videos for us to watch. All the love my laser brother. Take care of YOU.

Although just beginning on this path I have already made some positive changes.

I have the machines to start with; CNC, lasers, and so on but the lack of belief in myself is still there. But you're right, the freedom and time with family are worth it.

Epilog says 100 and thunder is not

@laserengravingwithmatt7833 Matt! Thank you so much for this video and helping everyone out there. Just confirming as I know you tried a bunch of settings in your video. The final on your 100 watt thunder was 500 speed, 15 power, .08 lpi, what focus 2 or 5mm? and do you use air or shut it off like you do with a regular engrave for wood?

@laserengravingwithmatt 10 ай бұрын

Yes and the focus depends on the glass some like 5 and some like 2

You have got to start saying just how much metal the Thunder machine can engrave, yes that's none! The Epilog laser can engrave all metals and plastics and you need to start saying that it's actually two laser in one, that's one reason it was more expensive! Plus an fiber laser is much more expensive than a co2 laser.

Brick and mortar could be the end. Rent, mortgage, insurance, landlords, inspections, 2 bathrooms, fire codes, security... Don't do it.
