Man I'm so torn also with xtool there's a trade in for coupon off the s1 that I haven't been able to get to work and was thinking of getting the s1 with 10 watt cause that's what I have in my xtool d1 10 watt but also heard the s1 is much safer even being a 10 watt with 600/mms. But even with the 40 watt s1 and coupon for trade in the lasermatic is still cheaper by a couple hundred bucks and but not sure is lasermatic you can chamge out you laser head power like you can with xtool s1 I don't think you covered that in this video so not sure if you know that with xtool you can change you watt heads. Other great video man xtool and lasermatic should just give free lasers to everyone lol

Mine doesnt move. I trap the legs with holders. Also, a 600x600 honeycomb is great.

I have been looking at the IKER 70 watt fully enclosed unit. It looks pretty nice for around $2300.

The File Is not there Great Video

Looks like a cool machine. I hear what your saying on the belt tension. My belts sag on the bottom and is tight on the top. I tune my belts like a guitar 🎸 😄 🤣 😂 it's all done by ear lol

Roly has good customer service, atomstack does not.

Check out all the Atomstack lasers here: shrsl.com/4g1u6

The link to the atmstack 70W errored out for me

Your safety measures, remedy, and plans on a video would be great information.

So RIP Roly MK2?

I would love to have the 70 Watt, but I would want it in a full enclosure not so much for the safety of my eyes as to the cleanliness of the equipment in a wood shop. My current lasers I have to cover have to cover when not in use because of the amount sawdust in the air even with dust extraction running. And for me I really need a larger work surface. But All in all very good informational video..

It was great having you on the live stream! Keep on doing what you’re doing!

Nice that they had you on I will have to go back and watch it sometimes they are doing lot of CNC stuff and I don't so i don't catch all of them. It is nice to interact with followers I try to as much as i can gets hard when it's busy.

I went back and watched the Sunday show I missed. That group, including you, are my favorite channels. All of you have allowed me to learn the craft. As soon as my products are good enough to sell, my new business will begin. It would be great for you to have a patreon. It will keep the negative people out due to the paywall. If you do not want something paid then a Discord server works. You can moderate to keep the negative people out and it is free.

Well, if I were going to vote on the way to communicate with the public, I would have to say Facebook and then I would say I hate Facebook. Facebook is a love hate relationship interaction on Facebook can be good, but it can also be very bad it seems to consume a large portion of the day with updates and live streams and this that the other. On my Facebook page because I come out to the shop anywhere from 4:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the morning I would do a short video pretty much three to four times a week on what's going on in the shop for the day and or the week after about a year of doing this on Facebook has just gotten old. With all that said I fully agree with you that you need a place for almost real time interaction, but you've got to have limits it’s because it'll eats up too much work time trying to get things done for a show or an event or whatever you're going to do for the upcoming events. I wish you the best of luck securing your spot on whatever platform you choose and I'm sure I'll check it out one way or another.

FYI.. your "My laser ready files: " link is not taking us to your etsy shop. It says Nothing to see here yet Looks like Mark hasn't added any favorite items. Check back again later! The actual Etsy link does work though

Let’s Go!

Thanks... It was fun. You can speak up anytime....

Atomstack and lightburn works together per lightburn's websight. Hi! Thank you for explaining and teaching!! Trying to learn lasers😊 was looking in Google for information and you popped up in my feed here! I hit subscribe and saved you💜❤️

When you say you disable autofocus, did you mean the z-homing? I had to add autofocus in Lightburn with a EPS500 code. If you disabled z-homing, how did you do that? Thanks for all the info you provided in this video and along with the comments. Sadly I now have this and read about their customer service. If they are as bad as everyone is saying, I may box it back up & return it.

I have that enclosure. You could not have been more wrong about the fan. Lol. That thing is a beast.

I'm not aware of any feature of an XTool D1 not available in Lightburn... It works quite nicely with its own software, but it's even better with Lightburn.

Beautiful, I put clear contact paper over the design sticky side up. then put tiles on. when I flip it over and peel it off the contact paper the tiles are clean on top.

to search for the markets online near me, do you search for craft markets, artistry shows, what should I be searching for to go check them out.

I needed to hear a lot of this. Especially about taking your time. I've only had my laser setup for 5 days but I catch myself thinking, "why am I not cranking out lots of stuff yet"... Honestly, I'm finding getting designs formatted and "ready to engrave/cut" the biggest challenge so far. I should probably buy some designs to get me started faster... but there I go in a hurry again. LOL

I watch you often and my Roly xw arrived and need to setup and cant wait to learn. I have to say i always appreciate your qillingness to share and love that you want to help other become successful that is a rare quality these days. You seem to be a genuine and caring person, never change and keep up the great work!

I have a 40W diode laser coming next week. I am so glad that I have the same plan that you spelled out here. I am looking to Xmas 2025. There is an arts and craft show at the local high school every Saturday, less than 1000 yds from my house. My plan is to get proficient at the diode and then "graduate" to a CO2 laser in a year or two.

Nice tips. Putting felt under cut coaster that the felt will be seen is defeating the purpose of a coasters by allowing moisture to get to the table you are trying to protect.

Very timely content for me. Just starting my laser and CNC journey, (long-time woodworker). I have rented space in a local boutique mall. This packet of smalls will be perfect to 'get something out on the table'...My mentors tell me Smalls is the best product for Craft Fair-like venues. So here we go!!! Love your content...keep it coming...

Great information. I always learn something new from your videos. As mentioned, I did not know about the QR. Thanks again.

Good video, I prefer the 10mm thick cork I think it looks/feels more substantial. I find all your video helpful..

Awesome video! Just got my Roly mk2 xw last week. I’m having the most fun I’ve had in a long time with this machine. Keep the series going I’m following all the way!

Xtool S1 or Roly 20w MK2? Also, what thread and needle sizes do u use

Thanks for another great and, as always, very informative video. I am saddened that other reviewers would have negative things to say about your channel when you don't say exactly what they want to hear about their favorite product. We like how you really tell it as it is. So keep up the good work!

1 year later and it sells for $300

Interesting timing. Great points in this video! I'm starting this same journey from absolute zero. Liked the xToolS1, but don't like the proprietary software. I've leaning toward LaserMatic for my first. Keep 'em coming. 😂

I bought a 10w not knowing I should have bought probably at least a 20w I’m tempted to buy the 20w upgrade for mine because they keep dropping the price but at the same time I’m like why spend the money and maybe save for a 30w or better. Don’t know what to do. My learning experience is I need more power because of what I want to make.

Just purchases my first laser in Sunday for business. Thanks so much for your content. It helps

What's your opinion on creality falcon pro, I got the 60 watt the things a beast I'm cutting 1/8 plywood at 1500 mm and 3/4 pine at 250mm, seems well built and solid

I started out about 4 years ago with a 5W AtomStack. I upgraded to a 10W module. My first year was a blast, making this and that. I had so much fun learning how to work with different materials. This year, I got my dba and officially started my business, and I'm still learning. Thanks, Eric, for the video. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Retired 3 times and work more now then when I was employed😂 i’ve been a woodworker for many many years part time when you get off work I’ve only recently been working with lasers about a year now with that being said I’m in the process of building a shop just for laser work. What I’ve learned since buying the first laser doing local farmers markets, and some larger gun shows laser work is kind of everywhere. Many many people have it or at least in my area.

Hi, when cuttting wood or MDF board how often do you change the Lens? Atomstack currently does not support replacements...

I try not to waste my time and turn down many of the request I get for reviews especially If the machine isn't for me just from the the specs. But I think I may try your approach of writing the companies I want to work with and review. I do purchase some of my machines If I really want one. I agree I like to use the best laser for the job I am doing. I have been lucky that so far all the companies I have done have been up front and wanted me to be honest and have not requested me say anything specific. The requests have been very reasonable and most gave me a reasonable amounts of time to complete them. I have not run into one I hated yet, but I have not done as many as you no wear near since I'm kind of in two spaces that could be two channels doing Knife sharpening and Laser Engraving. I am now getting in much bigger lasering jobs. So down the road I may outgrow my current machines. Just got in my largest knife engraving job last week 150 pieces and the next day another order for 50. I have turned down many knife sharpening tool requests and I really only try to review items my audience may find useful. I did try to get Xtool to send me the F1 Ultra but my rep said she couldn't they also sent me an S1 20 Watt but said they were sending a 40 Watt. I already owned the 40 so I didn't mind and I also like that machine a lot in fact I just published my review today.comparing the 20W to the 40W. It seemed to me they only sent the Ultra to creators with over 20-25K followers. I purchased one since a Fiber for knife engraving should be great. I just hope it's not underpowered but we will see. Once I have the gear I need I hope to give review gear away to my followers or ask the companies for one to give away. I see Steve Makes Everything doing that more and more and I really like that idea of doing that and giving back to the audience.

if i have a table that i want to etch a logo into, but its bigger than the machine frame, will it etch below, if i just place it on top of where i want it to be done?

This video is precisely why I used your affiliate link when I picked up a new laser a few months ago. Keep up the good work, your viewers appreciate it! I've always been of the belief that the market will sort out the winners and losers, a large part in due to the professionalism (or lack thereof) of the company.

This is a FRAUD.... purchased A70 Max from the link given by you but received only the roller stands. It's been more than a month now. I wrote emails to AtomStack but haven't received any reply.

I appreciate your honesty. There is not a signle laser that is perfect. If a company is hurt by a negative comment, maybe they need to focus on that and research it. Positive or negative opinions need to be taken into consideration for what the laser will be used for. Keep up the honest reviews.

This is a great video of your process of your cool wallet. I curious as to how you clean the soot off without a lot of smears and smudges. I will look for your file. Greg
