Great to hear it! Easy little trick that can save a boat load of time.

Thank you!

Thanks! Yeah, it's hard sometimes when it gets busy in the shop to get the videos shot. Many times the customer is over our shoulder watching and/or the product has personal info on it which I tend to not post or video.

I bought an aftermarket, fancy, high tech, expensive…. piece of crap. 🤣 Then I switched to the one that came with the laser, built an acoustic box for noise suppression and all is good! I’m unsure of the air it moves but it works great. I can even use it as I use two lasers.

Yes, copy and paste works fine inside EZCAD. You may have to use multiple settings to get a desired outcome on brass though, it’s a different beast all together. You may have to use one setting for the cut in a second setting to brighten it up! Have fun and be safe!

@@Engraving-ld8gn thanks for your time and input!

Not sure how I missed your question. It’s due to the software. EZCAD2 sends the info to the laser with proper settings. The new Lightburn for galvos can do the same thing, with an extra outline ability.

The more you do, the more you learn. I use two different settings. One to blast the top coat off and the second to engrave until I feel it looks best. I was not looking to accomplish any specific depth. Hope that helps!

We use a 30 watt laser. Thanks for watching... see what I did there?!! 😂🤣😎

Thank you!

Yes, just making sure to burn all the coding off and it’s the actual metal beneath it.

You have entered weeds in which no man has entered before. 🤣😳 No sir, the only thought I’ve given to the dust is wether to use a wipe or air to remove it.

Well my particular laser projects an image onto the surface and with him engraving. So it’s easy for me to size the image according to what I’m engraving. Your laser may be different and you may have to measure or use some other method. I use a 30 W fiber laser and my settings will be different from yours. Engravings will require various settings depending on what your engraving, how deep you wanna go, and the desired outcome. Practice, practice, and write down your settings.

People asked this a lot and it’s kind of the same answer. I’m not blowing anybody off but all the settings vary from laser to laser. All I can say is start out with understanding what your focal distance is and vary in speed in power and you will figure out the best setting for your machine. Again, I’m not blowing you off or your question but that really is the answer. The upside to that is when finding the best setting for different materials you’ll really get to know your laser and its capabilities! Congrats on a 50 watt fiber laser. They’re not cheap and they’re super fun!

@@Engraving-ld8gn I have also a 50 Watt Raycus Fiber Laser that I'm using for cutting and marking gold and silver. And of course the first question is when you see such beautiful and interesting video "Which Settings are you using to get such good results!?" I think nobody wanna hear your answear but indeed it's the right answear! Thanks for sharing your work with ohers and all the best.

It’s from San Antonio Laser Engraving. Tell them I sent you.

I bought the Zippo holder from L&M Precision - ask for Mike. Great guy.

What settings did you use. Looks awesome.

I’m sure you could with the laser.. Give it a try!

We use a 30w fiber laser

Hey Connor thanks for watching! Yes I can do photos but it really depends on what I’m engraving. I have yet to do a photo on a zippo but I can’t imagine that would be an issue.

If you check out my Instagram page you’ll see some photos that I’ve engraved on some guitar neck plates that came out really nice.

@@Engraving-ld8gn Ok, thanks.

Trial and error really. Sourcing is always a battle to find the right price. Look online and in stores for the best deals. Amazon, eBay, etc…just make sure you are buying authentic merchandise!! There are lots of fakes out there.

It’s a silk stocking from the dollar tree. It’s just a quick filter for the solid particles before they enter my exhaust fan and ruin it. Thanks for watching!

Send an email and we can set it up! Chris@1441engraving.com

I'm not sure what pictures you are referring to. The images that I use are for government employees and I don't share them. You may be able to find them elsewhere if you look though. ;)

Bought from the great folks at San Antonio Laser Engraving.

Yes, but it is w of a landing page to direct to our Instagram account. We also sell on Etsy and eBay… Amazon as well but they are a PITA. Our website is www.1441engraving.com
