Still helpful and relevant after a year. Thank you very much.

whoa that mirror burn was awesome

You're going to want to play with speed and power for that laser. There is no need to leave the last at 100% for all uses. Higher power means you are more likely to burn the material and make more smoke. Lower power means less burning, but you'd need to use a lower speed to compensate. Ultimately it is a balancing act between speed and power, and the balance will depend on the material in most cases.

How many passes does cutting ~4mm triplex require? Any general tips when using this for cutting?

Really enjoyed the video and tips on construction. Have you cut any fabrics like cotton or synthetics with it? I'm curious about the speed and the edge quality. Thanks!

Thank you for the video. It has helped me a lot.👍🏻

I have a similar one, but benbox does not locate the communication port, what can I do?

Would u recommend this for cutting polystyrene foam for packaging? An alternative would be a CNC.

can you please tell me does this machine use for fabric cutting like polyester or cotton.

Does it engrave "Fabrics" Velvet fabric as an example. Thank you.

This video had me sold, until I looked at their website, and more specifically, their warranty. You have three days to unbox, calibrate, and run this thing before your warranty dies. If you can figure it out that fast, and something IS dead, the return postage is up to you, THEN they repay you, and then the replacement shipped to you is only covered up to 35% or a max of $40. Sounds like the customer is doing all the risky stuff to please the company. I'll keep looking for a more customer oriented company. Nice video btw.

Wow, in other videos which review the engrave laser cnc, this ia the best one. Especially software that u used. Nice feature

I'm just a home user - the only thing that worries me is the extraction - what's the best way to do this for me?
