Thank you for an EASY to understand explanation on frequency!

OMG...I don't know how much I've been looking for a well-explained articles or videos on this. Thank you!

*"I LOVE THIS VIDEO"* I've had a 30w Fiber Laser Machine for nearly two (2) years now and haven't engraved one thing yet other than some of those black aluminum cards which seems to be the only thing I can do as a noob because I don't understand settings and the machine coming from China provides no support. This is some great info and I will be trying these settings tomorrow to see if I can find the problem to my delima of not being able to successfully use my machine properly and engrave like it should.

Thanks for that! Simple and straightforward. Very helpful.

Your actual marked on minute 3.00 really help understand very much about the topic. Thanks! I want to credit your name in my documentation

YOU did a great job brother. you solved all of my laser servicing problem. i am a fiber laser cutting engineer now recently enter into laser marking too.

yeah i run a 50 watt fibre laser and have never changed those spot settings since the machine is installed, instead setting up the desired finish using speed, power and freq and controlling the mark with spot size (typically 0.04) and various forms of hatching and cross hatching say if the material coating is particulary troublesome, so 50hz delivers the most power and then upping to 80 or 90hz for a nice polish (on steel) so just as an example , 0.04 spacing, cross hatch, 3000 speed, 100% power and 50hz for taking a coating off then 0.04, single hatch, 3000, 60 power, 100hz to polish

You don’t know how big of a help this was

Fantastic video mate! I was going to ask you about frequency and you’ve answered it thank you.

Hello is there a chance you can share the file you used for this ?

Really useful video, thanks very much.

This was so helpful and well thought out. Thanks.

WOW someone with common sense lol, thank you so much for making this easy.

Thank you for it is very helpful for me

Well done. We have many greens, reds and oranges at 25% power in the .0005 and .001 line space range. At 20% power, we did a second pass at 0.001 line spacing and got a nice black luster at 80kHz, and a deep maroon at 60kHz. If you want to get some rainbows, we did a double pass at 20% power, 800MM/s to get brilliant colors at .0005,.001 and .002 across all frequencies.

Can you please share those projects files that you used to set up the grid? Thanks for this.

very useful video thank you for your time

So brilliant and helpful! Thank you!

very very very very very helpful

Thank you so much! Your videos have been very helpful.

Bro, you nailed it. Just another Thank you :)

Thanks man. This help A LOT.

Hi i have a little problem which is whin i print a circle it shape more like an Elliptical shape so what seems to be the problem here??

Dude, was looking for that, thanks for sharing :)

Sir.. Thank you so so much. This help me a lot !!

Thank you very much for your efforts

Hi Jeffery, long time since you posted. When you do this graph, when you change parameters in layer parameter settings, do you have to do each layer independently? I have 70 layers and have gone through and changed pramaters in every single layer. Now I have to go back to change mark speed to 500 on every layer. Is there a quicker way of doing that?

Would it be possible to send your ezcad file with the different grade of frequency ? It would help me a lot ! Thanks !

Hi Jeff, I just bought a nice used 30 watt fiber laser. It worked great at the seller's house, because of course he KNEW what all of the settings do. Well, I loaded EZCad2 onto my laptop, and got as far as the laser drawing the DXF file with red light, but I am NOT burning or etching. Can you do a video on how a complete green behind the ears NEWBIE laser owner can get set up and burning? I can draw DXF files using my plasma table software, so I do not need to know about drawing with EZCad2 quite yet. But I want to know what I am doing WRONG, that I cannot burn an image into a black anodized blank business card. I have subscribed, so I will be watching with great interest!

Iam working with pigeon rings i have gold color its aluminum coated with gold color all what I can create just white color text . i need black text on aluminum rings , do you have any solution i hope you can help me Note : i hat 20 watt fiber mark machine with rotary Many thanks

Excellent video, thank you very much.

Thank YOU!

What is best settings for gold metal cutting (30gauge)...? {30W machine}

I appreciate your videos! Thank you!

Where will I get the manual for Ezcad3 for a 80w Mopa

I have laser machine 30W , I need settings for marking on plastic materials ,I want to mark on plastic very clean and bold

hey i have a fibre laser 100w and y try all programs and instaling desintaling all tinghts and is not worck can you help me pls ?

Thank you really helpful video

Where can we get the file to try in our laser because everyones laser is different in power and laser source

Any advice in engraving Silver? I have been trying everything I can and Silver is not engraved at all. I have tried the focus, lowering and making the laser lens go up, nothing works.

Are there any books to help working with materials like silver, gold, plastic for example. If not it's time to write some books for ezcad3!

THANK YOU - this vid is still very helpful and relevant! I'm looking for more details on how speed + power + frequency impact the depth of engraving, specifically to optimize cutting metals (no hatch, just a 0.3/0.1 wobble config'd for the pen). I can see I need to dial this in for each lens (50W JPT; f100 and f290 lenses). Do you have something like this done --OR have info on how I calculate it? 🍺🦝👍

Where can i download this file to try on my laser machine

hi complete newb here so I hope this isn't a stupid question but can anyone tell me If you can change the max Khz in the configurations, I keep trying to make tests with parameters that use 40 or 50 kHz but ezcad keeps telling me the max is 20, so is that it I can't use frequencies above 20?

Do you happen to know what settings I would use to get a black Mark on chrome? I have a 30% watt fiber. Thanks

I have made many setting with the frequency and hatch but i am not getting the proper result - if i print a text called TEXT , the last letter T is not as the same as TEX - why is that , how can i fix that

When I tried doing stainless steel at first on my 30W fiber non MOPA it was like a brownish goldish color and I didn't like it but now I go out of focus by 3-5mm and it no longer etches the steel but burns a very dark image on the steel. You should try to go out of focus to get that black anneal and also see what colors you can get out of focus. Great videos especially since there is so little out there in tutorials for these lasers in English.

Im looking for help with an electrox ebox raptor fiber laser thats not marking at all.. would adjusting frequency affect etching output ?

I have a 50w with a 300mm lens. will i need to make any adjustments to the settings once i download the power vs frequency test grid? learning my machine slowly

please make tutorial laser cleaning using fiber laser setting

Hello JefferyJ, excellent explanation. Would it be possible to see the parameters published for certain "colors" such as RED, YELLOW, BLUE, on stainless steel?

hi i have a problem with params i touched some of the ports and settings and the fiber laser just wont work and any other ports i see on youtube dont work how can i fix?

Hi Jeffery! Was it a 20W fiber laser machine use in the test on 3:50? Because I had bought a 20W fiber laser machine as well and downloaded your shared file to do the same test just like 3:50. I was using stainless steel pieces as well but the result was different from yours. It did not show any colour. Please help.

Good video, thanks.

very helpful thank you

Hi ! Very nice videos. Do you know what happens if i set a frequency out of range of the laser source inside my machine ? For example i set 45 KHz and the source has a range between 50 and 80 KHz ? Thank you Olivier

Hello Jeffery. I’m trying to mark a curved surface, but can’t get clear marking all the way round. Do you have a solution for this?

Then is it possible to laser a camo pattern on a glock slide, with colour effects?

What is the pulse duration here?

How could I get your file, could you help me please collect the file.

Hi Jeffery, I couldn’t make deeper marks so could you make a video or will you answer me how can I get deeper marks on stanless steel without burning

Hello! Jeffrey . I have a problem with my laser machine I hope that you can help me figure out. it shown up side down from the real object that I hatched it reversed from the laser. it likes a selfie from Iphone.

Hey Jeffry, I am trying to put a black mark on 11 ga. mirrored Bronze plaque. The size of the plaque is 11.5"x 7.625" almost the size of a sheet of paper. I am brand new at this. I just bought my 60 watt Fiber MOPA Laser. any help with settings or if a plaque this big can even get a black mark would be appreciated. I am using a 300x300mm lens by the way. Thank you FYI I tried to email you but it came back as undeliverable

I hadn’t payed attention to that spot diameter visualisation dialog.. good pointer. Another big thank you from me: it’s really great that you are publishing videos of your experimentation since there isn’t much else out there. Is there a shortcut you use when making those test patterns or do you go through the boxes one by one and adjust pen settings?

Hi do you also have tutorials on ceramics? I cant seem to engrave on ceramics using the fiber laser

Hello where did you get the Cards from please ? im de to get my fibre laser soon and would like to test setting this way

Thank you. Can you please also post this for brass?

Hello I know this is an old video but is there a chance we can download the test files used?

Hi Jeffery, What material are you using in this video? Thanks

Excellent video! Thank You for the break down. Would these settings also produce the same results on brass or nickel silver?

This guy is definitely the same dude from the Mustard channel.

so great, thank you so much. anywhere I can download those test settings to try on different metals on my 50w?

Hello, on the Power vs speed and power vs freq the hatching is not setup. I cant seem to be able to figure out to hatch more then one item on the page. When editing the hatching parameters on right IE Speed, power and Freq then click APPLY and got on to the next and change it. After doing rows, I go back and click to check it and the last info I input in 1 box shows the same info I put in the last. If possible can you explain how to set up parameters and do hatching on the box to show different values. Thanks again for doing these they helped a lot.

Hi, Newb here. Where do you get the image for running the test engravings that you did? I have my OMTECH 20W fiber laser being delivered today and could use all the help I can get. Thanks

hi , i just bought a 20w laser machine and im struggling to find the right parameter settings for marking/engraving gold products. can someone help me?

awesome thanks for that info

I really appreciate the video and has helped me understand more about the settings and parameters. Is there a way that I might be able to produce a chart like this so that I can maybe download it and/ or see the different settings for my fiber laser. I want to be able to see the outcome on the material that I use so that I may be able to adjust the settings according to my fiber laser.

Hello, great video, excuse me, what power is your fiber optic machine?

This definitely helps a ton! Do you have a file set up for lightburn that can be downloaded?

very useful stuff, currently working with the lw200 by red technology and would love a m moment of your time for some questions if you dont mind

Love your tutorials Jeffery, where do you get your sheets of titanium and stainless from? Need to get some similar stock in to make some cool things? 👍😎

thank you so much

would this work on metal plated buckles?

What parameters for brass?

Hey, i need some help! Wenn i open an file the grafic is shown correct in monitor, but the F1 button that shows the preview shows the logo rotated by 90 degrees and in mirror. When i rotate it in the software it will fit. so, do you know a solution...? Thanks a lot!

How we can laser on gold colour in black stamp...

you are amazing and have the most helpful videos. Is there any way i can email you with a couple questions?

Nice video. Just a question if I may. If you dont get a satisfactory color on a mark. Is it practical or possible to re-mark without moving the material. Lets say we are working on stainless steel for example. Thank you

Hey Jeff, thanks for the video but do you have any specific parameters for marking plastic? I tried the ones in this video and it didn’t come out as a clear mark it was more of a burnt mark.. can you help me out? Thanks

Hi Jeff, thanks for the video. I would like to ask how I can create a thick line (~1mm) on steel at a scan speed of 6-7 m/sec?

Does someone has made the file for Minilase XL *.pse File? 🙂

Спасибо, очень полезная информация!

Can you provide the EZCAD file with the test pattern? I'd like to try it on my machine

Do you have a link to the grid files so I can test out my laser with them?

Super helpful!! Where can I find a file like this to download?

Tanks bro

Hello! Excellent videos , Thank You very much!! Please can you maybe make a video of Hatch(0.01-0.05) vs SPEED(100-500mm/s) on Gray/SIlver Anodized aluminium at 50% power 40khz+ frequency?? I noticed a very big influence of HATCH on darkness of the mark. Tighter hatch giving brighter mark. I do not have access to Gray Anodized aluminium anymore, I used test pieces I had.... It would be a great help for those trying to get a dark mark on Gray anodized aluminium...

Awesome info - i've recreated a few of these templates; is there any repository online where things like this are shared?

hello mr jeffery is have an issue about engraving when i want to mark as it is straight on my pc then when the laser marks it opposite like if i want to engrave MONDAY it engraves YADNOM. i want to reset it to normal please sir kindly assist thank you

what is the strength of this laser? I can't seem to achieve dark marks on stainless steel with the same settings with a 20w
