    They said a 5W diode laser cant cut acrylic..... some time ago I added a library to lightburn which had all the settings for different materials.... So I assigned the engraving acrylic to the cut layer and fired it off..... Well.... it went straight thru the 3mm acrylic lol In hindsight.... it was set to 120mms @ 100% 2 passes..... so yeah not that weird lol Will try these settings now

      Don't do it. I bought one of these about 9 months ago and used it maybe twice to cut a couple of pieces of 2x4's. About three weeks ago I decided to build an 8' work bench and it cut all of my 2x4's just fine. The next day I plugged it in and went to cut more wood and when I hit the trigger the blade locked up. I never could get it to turn and I did check everything that could have been wrong the blade lock for changing the blade was the first thing I checked. I tried taking the motor and gear apart to see what happened but it was so aggravating I just threw it in the trash and went and bought a Kobalt 10". I bought the wen because of its price but mostly because of it's zero clearance. I realized I guess that i just have to plan where I will use the Kobalt saw and since it will be for mostly small projects I can live with the slider moving back and forth. I believe now you get what you pay for.

      It's hilarious how people feel they can express their annoyance then make requests for people to make concessions/alterations for them for absolutely nothing on content they aren't even paying for when it's being provided as a free information source on a product you may be considering a purchase on. I mean, you are already getting the benefit of someone else investing their time and money to purchase a product, taking the chance that it's junk so you won't have to AND being kind enough to make and upload a video of their experience all so you can decide if it is or isn't worth your hard earned money to do the same. If your time is so valuable that you can't sit through a bit of fiddling around, or God forbid, requires you to push a little button to fast forward through a section then I'd say you need to re-evaluate your perceived importance in this world. My guess is that your aren't quite as important as you believe you might be. If the maker if this video happens to see this comment, first...thank you for the info and if you wouldn't mind giving an update on how the Wen is performing for you. You mentioned in the video that you were going to do some testing and let us know but I didn't see another video on your channel about it. It would be great to know how it's holding up. Thanks!

    • @adaptivediyers
      @adaptivediyers 2 роки тому

      this was extruded acrylic with a 5.5w diode. i have found that the metal underneath of the acrylic is everything. Weldable metal seems to work the best, because i if i try using galvanized, or stainless, it blows holes and cracks through out the piece. I also would like to try cast some time too! Also it helps to closely watch how well your z height is set to the metal under the acrylic. It is quite critical. Good luck, and thanks for watching!

      I can only cut black acrylic. You can not cut clear acrylic with a diode laser
