I have never used vinegar. Does it work well?

yes it works great and doesn't pop the grain either @@kendallcreations6737

It was actually a package deal when i purchased my laser from China. So im not quite sure of the specifics.

I don't :) I buy Master Chef or Vida by Paderno bamboo cutting boards and they come with the rubber corners!

​@@kendallcreations6737You do very nice work I would love to do something like this but I don't think I can afford that $20,000 machine you got behind you.

Hey Riley, It is the same machine as Omtech, but mine is considered Chinese Red & Black. I don’t have the branded label and I imported the machine myself. Hah oh gosh, thank you! Life got busy - I now have 2 children and moved to a new home. But I plan to start making content come June in my new shop :) stay tuned.

@@kendallcreations6737 I’ve been researching for about a month and this is the one I’m looking at! Well I am definitely looking forward to more content.

Hello! The rolling cart with my chiller is from Costco and the stand for my laser came with it :) I couldn’t find the exact cart on the Costco website but here’s another alternative: TRINITY EcoStorage 3-tier NSF Chrome Cart If you can’t find Costco cart, try “KUNGSFORS” from IKEA. Just double check the dimensions to make sure it will work for you.

I am new to laser engraving but I've been using scroll chucks in my machine shop for many years, so I can confirm. Always a good idea to mark the jaws and chuck if they aren't clearly marked. I use a battery powered diamond tip engraver tool (like a very low power Dremel, but sized closer to a Sharpie) for this sort of thing. Very handy to have on hand for many such tasks. That way the marks can't get erased.

It’s recommended you never run a laser at 100% because it will greatly reduce the life of the laser tube. I personally try to cap mine at 80% power But even if we are talking double power but still less than 100%, different power and speed give different results. Sometimes it’s a clean cut, and sometimes it’s less char. I always cut a testing grid on each material to find the optimal settings for ongoing cuts.

@@kendallcreations6737 Thanks for the Quick response and great explanation 😁. And great video, neat trick with the masking tape. Been strugling with the smoke trails on My diode. Will give the masking tape a shot. Subcribed 😁

Oh thanks for the suggestion :) I’ll give that a whirl!

any brand of butcher oil. I get mine from Amazon :)

Thank you so much :) I have what they call "Chinese Red and Black" - i ordered direct from China.

Yes you can. I filmed this well over a year ago and I have made many changes to what I do now :) it’s great to always learn!

Hello, I ordered my rotary with my machine :) so direct from China.

It’s the Chinese red and black

Hello, there are two things that I do. I raise my bed up a bit to account for the spacing or if I’m not comfortable with the design, I go back to the customer and recommend a different design/layout.

Thank you!

This particular design took 25 minutes to engrave.

@@kendallcreations6737 thank you, keep up the great videos.

I don’t own a omtech :) mine is a Chinese black and red laser. I connect to the ruida controller through the network.

Hello David. I made it myself :)

@@kendallcreations6737 Thanks

Thanks Allen!

Hello Wolfes1126 - We do a ramp test because if the top of the nozzle is further away, it does not engrave crisp. I have tested this and this practise is what works the best for us!

Hello, are you referring to the “Ehman” paddle in my laser engraver? If so, I just use something with a straight edge to line up my board so it’s not crooked :)

Hello, I sell the bamboo boards for $55 + taxes. That includes engraving.

@@kendallcreations6737 glad I asked I was about to lowball the market and I definitely don’t want people to forget the hard work it goes into setting stuff like this up, thanks for the great video!

Hello, I have not done this as I would assume it would be flammable. Could your friend have this maker not use any oil or wax? Then you could engrave and put oil on it yourself?

@@kendallcreations6737 i did mention this to him, I will have to wait and see what I get. Thanks for getting back to me quickly.

Nice can’t wait to get mine

Hello Katie, my guide is 9mm. It all depends on the lens you purchased. I cut my guides with my laser :) no need to purchase one, just use your scraps.

Hello, my website is www.KendallCreations.ca

Hello, Yes I work out of my basement.

oh gosh, thank you! I'm so shy haha, i will continue to make them :)

I have a K40 with a 50w tube in it (I installed it). I cut at 50% and I am pulling 16mA.

Which brand machine you have?

Hello Giulio, for my own preference, I engrave with my settings because I like the deep engrave. I have done lower settings and personally it just didn’t look great to me. This is why I also tell my clients they have the option to engrave on front side or back side. I tell them if this is a cutting board they will be using, then I suggest the backside. Hope this helps :)

Hello, I use masking tape so I don’t need to sand the soot off after engraving. I also fear that if I sand it, I might ruin the engraving portion and I won’t be happy with my piece. I also find it a time saver.

saves the mess and cost, sand paper ,time and u may need a powered sander more cash im sure u need to sand on some things more at 11 lol @@kendallcreations6737

Hello Linda. For what I do, make my own files on lightburn, photoshop, etc…I prefer MacBook Air. It does it’s purpose for sure. I don’t see myself needing a different computer at all. Although, I did get a fibre laser recently and unfortunately it only runs on windows. So i have to use one of our old computers to run that. And having to go between Mac and windows is frustrating haha.

@@kendallcreations6737 thank you so much. We just ordered a nova 24 and I have no clue what I am doing lol :)

Hello Jason - I actually have since this video. What a timesaver!! Such a great hack :)
