Yuppers. My new LaserPecker 3 is on the way. Thanks for that $50 off code!! I can't wait to give it a try.

Thank you Dennis, this is an awesome video! Great job!❤

Very nice flex there once again Dennis! That is looking like it's going to be a very useful and efficient tool. Thanks again for sharing Dennis!

Super cool to see the samples. Looking for options on the wood so great to see you tried it out 😊

Dude!!! So Cool!! thanks for sharing!

This looks like the way forward.... Really nice and easy to use by the look of things. Cool vid, thanks D

I shall add this to my "someday" list.

What makes this laser interesting is that its a pulsed unit, whereas most of your run of the mill engravers are a continuous wave machine and ultimately it doesn't really matter too much if its a diode or a tube doing the zaps or if its adjusted with mirrors, crystals or fibre optics. We've been doing it for many decades to the point it will only really amazeballs anyone outside of the technical industries. But the pulse is what makes it work better of metal, so what you do is you ramp up the pulse to however many times a second and then add the pump to really increase the power for tiny fractions of a second, so what that does is three things- It runs cooler It doesn't heat up material as much It ablates its way through a material instead of heating it up and sending vapours everywhere like you see with continuous wave machines, smoke and all manner of disturbing amounts of fire sometimes. So by 'ablate' I mean that it literally pecks and chips away at a material, it heats it up and ejects it from the area being zapped and reveals new material under it, then zaps that and that's how you're getting the depth of cut into the material. This is happening in I think mostly nanaoseconds between each pulse of the laser. Its also a little out of my field of expertise, I worked with the damn things for about 12 years on fibre networks and they're all basically terrible for human beings to interact with because they'll turn you blind in a second and burn holes through skin really quickly- so if there's shields or glasses you need to be behind them and don't forget about secondary emissions. Just like welding, these things pump out a lot of wavelengths of IR and sometime UV light and you'll get cancers on exposed skin.

i saved 50$ using you code. Thank you. Just got it figuring it out.

This is awesome. Best investment. 👊🏻

Awesome video!

good luck! I hope U find the right machine!

Very cool tool.

Good morning I regularly watch your KZfaq channel with great interest because I learn a lot. This subject particularly interested me because I too have problems engraving using electro etching. This laser will definitely be my next purchase Thank you very much for your channel Franck (from France)

When i grow up i want to have as many toys as you 😢

Hi Dennis! Always love your videos. I have a AtomStack 20W diode laser and I can engrave steel with it but it takes a loooong time. I put my logo on one of my knives and it look me running at full power for over 30 minutes. Another factor with a diode laser is different steels engrave differently, some engrave better than others, some take less time, some take a horrendous amount of time. The fiber lasers are MUCH faster on metal. I have one of these on my list just because of how much time it will save. As always, love your stuff.

Game changer!

Thanks for sharing

The commercial of this same Laser Pecker that played during your video, shows it cutting wood.

Looks great, are there settings to make the etch just for depths and not mark it dark? I do a lot of my blades with a black finish and I'd be wanting to have my logo be on the brighter side to stand out on a dark blade

Just to clarify on your explanation, fiber lasers do still use diode lasers in their internal functioning, but the diode is coupled to a fiber line. This allows high power lasers to have their light "piped" over the fiber line to output heads, so it doesn't have to move the heavy laser. The difference in what lasers can cut which materials is down to the frequency of the light colour. Very cool new toy you got there :)

I got a laser too, a few months ago, best buy you can get to get a bit more detailed logo's on knifes, a fairly cheap one at like 500bucks, but it can do it all, paper, wood, leather, plastics, all kinds of metal and its very accurate in details. Biggest drawback for me was the laser doesn't show you the area very well where it will be etched before you go for real, so I need to mark the area off and see if it will fit, since the software that works with it is, while its capable software, its not meant for lasers but for milling machines I believe, laser grbl. But fiddling around and doing some test stuff like this, gives enormous potential for designs, logo's that aren't restricted to what limits the electro etch ones, and is also without the hassle of electro etching. Only thing is that its slower than that, especially bigger or high detail ones, take quite a bit of time with multiple passes, what is best for the most detail and depth.

Could it be deep enough for enamel like for example a Roman pugio sheath decoration.

that looks like a great etcher,if i cant learn to engrave by hammer and chisel this might be a great option

Dennis, love your videos. Great job. This looks like a great fiber laser. I think you are slightly misinformed about the powerful diode lasers on the market now. My 20 watt can easily mark steel to the point where only low grit belts will remove the mark.

How much did it heat the steel? I usually do my marks on the laser at work when the knife is almost finished. Or before the etch for damascus. The problem is, the laser heats the steel a lot and might be an issue for the epoxy holding the scales together

Sold!

Will the laser pecker 2 also engrave knife blades?

Roughly how long does it take you to do the 4 pass makers mark on the steel ?

I have over 50 knives finished handles and all and never put on a makers mark. I was going to electro etch with a stencil but was afraid they may not be crisp and clear and have some bleeding on the edges. This would ruin my finished knives so I held off. With this video and the Laser Pecker it seems like I could safely mark my knives. What about doing finished knives, some with mirror polish and some with satin finish?? Would I have to put a paint like coating on the mirror finished ones before engraving?? I noticed you marked some steel that looked somewhat polished...

To be fair, my diode, 20 W laser etched a very deep mark on carbon steel. Not amazing dpi but definitely very deep.

I want! 😂

Would you ever consider making a disabled person a cane sword? I recently was diagnosed with diabetes and live in a bad area,people are always getting robbed in this part of Philly. I am subscribed and maybe I can have someone in my family buy it for me as I am in the middle of applying for disability and have nothing. Either way just seeing you work relaxes me and actually puts a smile on my face. Thanks

Is this a 10w laser?

Laserpecker is what the ladies call me

Denis, beware! Very soon you're going to run out of room for all your new tools! I assume you're not going to set this up in the house due to fumes.

Please spin that shark around lol

Denis gets a new toy... Denis uses new toy for EVERYTHING! 😂 Gotta laser that MM on the old lady's butt. 😂

I hate to burst everyones bubble... but this is not a fiber laser. It even says so on their website. Its a 1 yes 1 watt infrared laser. A true fiber laser is much larger and requires a cooler. Enjoywood makes one the exact same. Its considerably less on ebay. Just a heads up

Oh yep instead of a battery let’s use a 1k piece of equipment
