Creality Falcon 2 22W Laser

    The real irony is calling it an anti slip rail, it's the opposite, it's the glide rail and is supposed to make the saw slip :) I didn't have any of those track issues but did have different ones. The saw seemed to lack power, or the blade sharpness. I found it really struggled with thicker cuts and if trying to cut furring strips the blade would be bent out rather than slice the wood on the thin ends. A bit dangerous to be honest. And the splinter guards are poor, brittle and end up rough and hard to use as an accurate line.

    The telescope that had the Herschel wedge what did you put in front of the primary lens anything?how does it affect the glass when it heats up?I have both an apochromat and an achromat and don't want to ruin the glass or coatings,thank you.

    • @DIYTinkerer
      @DIYTinkerer 11 днів тому

      Thanks for the question. You are right to consider this, but as with all astronomy, the answer is a little complex. The Baader Herschel Wedge I use is rated up to 5" apature, so it doesn't need any additional filtering in front of the scope to protect the equipment at focus. The lens on a traditional refractor is at the front of the telescope, so the light going through the lens is not concentrated and thus doesn't heat up those elements, but this may not be the case if your scope has a fancy design, with optics part way down the tube (some field flattened apos do this) so assuming it's a traditional refractor, what you really have to ask is, "are the coating used on the scope stable in direct sunlight?" This, however, might not be something easily found out. I image in narrowband, so can get away with a very cheap achromatic scope as all chromatic aberration is eliminated by the NB filter. and I get stunning results (published many times in the BAA journal) it was a 3rd hand telescope so, I don't know if it even has coatings:-) ! But if I could afford a 5" apo, I wouldn't use it on the Sun, as I doubt it would provide much advantage over my el-cheapo telescope and I would be worrying about the coatings in direct sunlight. You might get a better answer if you contacted either the solar section or imaging and instruments section of the BAA, but I suspect you will get a similar answer... for reference my scope is a 20+ year old Meade LX55 5" Doublet, with terrible colour correction. I hope this helps, be careful solar observing.

    Great build - with lots of useful guidance throughout. Thanks for posting. Those ESP 32s are really useful and pretty cheap. I've got as far as installing WLED on one to control an LED strip and found it very satisfying. I wonder if your LED display is bright enough to shine through a very thin veneer without any holes in it? I guess it would have to be glued to a piece of clear plastic to make it strong enough to support the LEDS...

    • @DIYTinkerer
      @DIYTinkerer 19 днів тому

      Thanks for the nice comments. I did try using a thin veneer but it just didn't work. The esp32 I used was £6 Inc postage! This is the first project that I've used an esp32 on, previous projects have used Arduinos.

    Much respect for the honest review! I think some of the 1st vids I watched of ppl reviewing this product might have been sponsored ones, since they were very conservative with the cons of the saw. I might even buy it at the end but I would like to do my homework beforehand.

    • @DIYTinkerer
      @DIYTinkerer 26 днів тому

      Thanks, I think those 'unbiased' reviews you refer to are all sponsored in that they are given the kit free, this probably leads to unconscious bias. For instance, it is harder to judge if it is value for money when you don't actually part with any money. I try to think of them more as product feature videos.

    Lovely shop voyeurism! As for the riving knife, I made my own since the factory one was bent. Just traced the contour onto 1,5 sheet metal, and redid the holes for the dust extraction cover. But it's still hard to get out. Maybe some thumb screws as you did with the side panel? I have my knife set slightly below the top of the blade so I don't have to remove it that often. Subbing for more!

    hey simon! you already know i'm a big fan of this work! may i offer some unsolicited input? explain what a bench hook/or whatever mod is and the actual effective use/reason for it. its to the point now where i watch all of your mods blindly but other channels I wouldn't have watched this. 1. i misunderstood what a hook was atleast i don't call a hook what you are here 2. bc of your take on it, i absolutely found new use cases I hadn't considered. but if you say upfront in the video, i'd be more likely to stick around and not bail on it. if you get straight into building, you're asking someone to also go build blindly. tell me why I'm building this first and i can feel confident and even do a better job if i understood that as I can modify things as I can according to my own custom setup. great stuff as always! cheers!

    I inherited my one from my dad a number of years ago, and it's gone through a few blades in its time, but the issue I will have shortly in the lower blade guide. The cast bracket is broken, and the only thing that holds it together is the roll pin which goes right through the bracket, but this has some serious wear and I fear it's only a matter of time. I'm trying to locate a new one but this is proving difficult. Nice video, good to see it being saved from scrap.😀
