Tip from doing laser cut RC planes : Assemble the parts and *then* apply thin CA glue. It will wick in to the joint perfectly !!

I always forget about makercase. Thanks for reminding me. I need to do this in my workbench for sand paper.

Do you think you could cut 1/8 ply with the 10w D1 by makeblock? Your videos are super well edited BTW. Good job mate

Great video and build. I've found drawers are better than those Sortimo type of containers...those are more useful in traveling/off-site jobs. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Yeh I've got some cheapo Sortimo's in other spot but these custom drawers seem to be really helpful. Especially with it being pretty cheap and easy to change up.

What what is that glue you use?

@goali3903 3 жыл бұрын

What plywood do you use and where do you get it? I usually get mine off Amazon but it hasn’t been very flat, leading to more passes necessary to make it through in some areas.

Took your furniture Fusion class. Very useful. Have a large CNC. Debating if to get a laser. What do you use for laser vs CNC?

Great question and something I really should make a video about. So I wind up using a laser more for smaller projects/prototyping. Their main advantage is speed and how thin of a kerf it uses when cutting. On the CNC side you can not only cut out complete pieces but also do 2.5 or full 3D machining. You can also cut out parts that are WAY thicker than what I can with my 40 to 50W laser, I used 3/4 in plywood a good bit as well as up to 2 in thick hardwoods on the CNC. You'll have to incorporate the width of the bit when cutting out parts so inner pockets will need some type of dogbone or clean up with a chisel. Also the laser is much easier on the work holding side of things, most of the time you can just place the material in the workbed and your good to go, for CNC you'll need to learn lots of different methods to hold you material secure.

This is really nice...do you think the Ortur Laser Pro 2 could cut the 1/8" plywood? I'm on the fence with the Ortur and this might tip me over.

@makeorbreakshop 3 жыл бұрын

I haven't tried it since I normally will switch over to CO2 laser at that point but really should test. Ortur says that it can can 3mm plywood in one cut so I think an 1/8 would be possible. You'll probably get a good bit of scoring on the material and it will need to run really really slow or you'll have to use lots of passes to get through it. I'm going to put that down as another video idea though!

@goali3903 3 жыл бұрын

I cut 3mm with my LM2, which is pretty close to 1/8”. I run it at 300 speed, 80% power and usually about 5 passes. I recommend adding air assist to it if you’ll be cutting.

@@goali3903 Thank you! Just the information I was looking for. I assume you got the "20W" (LU1-4) laser as well?

@goali3903 2 жыл бұрын

@@lunakoala5053 yup, that’s the one. I do have to say that after my ortur paid for itself in Christmas ornaments, I ordered an OmTech 60w co2 and the difference is amazing if you’re looking to cut. Ornaments that took me 25 minutes with the Ortur take me 2-3 minutes now and I haven’t even upgraded air assist yet. Well worth the upgrade if you can swing it.
