You don’t get excited about much, but this Omni seems to have gotten your attention! I’ve been looking at this one for a few weeks now, and you gave me some great information to consider. Thanks, Dave. Have a great New Year! God bless
It surprised me, The material versatility and no soot is great. It will take a while to find all the stuff I can mark now.
Thanks so much for sharing. Added the Omni 1 to my laser collection a few weeks ago. It is going to be a game changer for glass and leather which are my 2 highest volume products I offer.
It will indeed.. Have fun
I ordered one last night. I have a very specific use for it that I think I will get my money back in about six months. They have all kinds of discounts that you can get so it doesn't cost you $4,500.00 in the end. Look at it this way, the first time I wanted to buy a laser was about thirty years ago. The laser I was looking at was $15,000.00. I now own a 50 watt fiber laser, and a 55 watt CO2 laser with a 700mmx500mm working area, and a 10 watt diode laser. Now that I am adding the UV laser, I am still more than $3,000.00 short of what I was going to spend on a laser 30 years ago. A tool is worth what it will make you or the time it will save you. I tell everyone that is how I spend my cigarette money every year. (Lasers are cheaper, and you have something to show for it at the end of the year)
Nice setup…
@TheClackShack I picked up my Woodmizer LT-40 fourty years ago today.
@ nice
This will be my next purchase as soon as I sell my F1 Ultra.
It is a beast on plastics
Clack, interesting news. I don't like the orange paddle any more than you do. So I got to talking with Nancy at ComMarker in Hong Kong and mentioned that while I prefer their product, the competition has a red framing laser that is making it hard for me to choose between brands. No problem! For $200 more you can get the ComMarker with the auxiliary red frame. So, there you go. Now if only another $200 would up the work area to 400mm X 400mm, I'd be dancing on my workbench. Anyway, you might contact them and see if you could do an upgrade. Now all I need is an extra $4K to spend.
Cool.. They cheaped out on me.. lol
I have had one of these machines since the early bird specials were out and to me the biggest advantage is leather engraving and cutting, glass etching and deep wood engraving. Clean leather cuts, beautiful glass engraving (without prep) and deep wood engraving that rivals a CNC machine without burning. Try glass and wood engraving and let us know what you think. Oh and one more thing to get dark wood burning try defocus by about 10 mm high.
Yea, I still have lots of testing to do.. the possibilities..
Great video and i can't wait for mine to turn up. Hopefully it will be here in the next week. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks, It is cool the way it engraves without the smoke…
That is pretty cool. Having only cut leather once on my co2, I definitely can see the advantage to this machine.
Much cleaner for sure… 👍
You may not be cutting bag panels with this, but for those of us making leather pocket items, wallets, passport covers, notepad covers, this could be a game changer. Not to mention your leather scrap projects, patches, keychains, earrings. I’m not dropping a few thousand tomorrow, but definitely worth some research.
It works really well on leather, I was surprised.
I got the Omni a couple weeks ago. Love it on leather and my special niche, cattle ear tags. I’m going to try paper micarta knife scales next. Any tips on settings that might work best?
test, test, test. It is wild the variety of possibilities.
Pretty cool machine. Now if I can only win the lottery! Lol
Yea, it isn’t cheap
Great review! 👍
Thanks
@theclackshack The reason you cant see that red line is because this is is a UV laser. It's very difficult to see a UV beam with the naked eye. This is not the company's fault. It may be a galvo laser but it's not a typical fiber laser.
I am aware. They could have added the red laser like other fibers though.
Another one for my list of lasers to get
It is a good addition…
What type of laser/wavelength is needed to do those deep engraves on stone or metal, that everyone seems to do with F1 Ultra? I have to imagine you cam get a better size and price range getting a standalone laser of fiber? tyle or whatever compared to the lrive xtool wants for the Ultra.
It takes a fiber. The one advantage the ultra has is that the software automatically drops the z height.
Hey, have you tried doing doing coated tumblers?
Not with the UV, I have other machines that would be much faster. Including the blue diodes.
What laser do you recommend for an absolute beginner? Preferably something budget friendly. I’ve been looking for weeks
The Atomstack A24 is a good budget machine with room to grow. Look for my review video.
So this is first gen. What’s the market saying about a competitor? Maybe a bigger lens. I worry about buying this and then a better design comes out.
That’s always possible. There have been other UV machines out for years, just more expensive
Looks awesome! Did you cut the clear acrylic?
With the CO2, haven’t tried that yet
do you have a list to share of settings i cant get mine to work with the settings they sent
I have changed a few. I can share what I have but most are still what they sent.
@@TheClackShack please do there settings dont look like what you wrote on some of your samples
@@waldo2413 Here is where I am at right now. drive.google.com/file/d/17lBifhF1cITq9_G88-jYwAo4Z_QwuYOr/view?usp=drive_link
@@TheClackShack thanks so much
I would love to see what it does with mylar stencil material.
I just happen to have some… stay tuned
@@TheClackShack Awesome! Thanks!
Just got a Omni1. Never have had a galvo laser. Where can I learn about speed/frequency and q pulse?
There are lots of videos on the topic. I am a novice at it myself but have been studying by watching videos.
Holy mackerel! $4500 is a lot of money for a laser. Even one that does all that this one does.
As I said, it is a hefty investment... lol..
I paid $4,230.00 just to upgrade my fiber laser.
@ wow… Good upgrade?
@@TheClackShack I bought a 30watt Raycus and installed a 100 watt JPT source in it.
hum looking at that one. Just spent 3hrs cleaning bed. Honey comb sucks who makes a good knife edge or dragon teeth bed large enough for X70 Max?
No, I use a honeycomb. I also use a pressure washer when I can
Thanks! What are the dimensions of the base??
There specs say 13.8x25.2x27.6. That sounds about right but leave room for cables in the back
Thanks!!
Have you tried engraving cockroaches too? How you get them to stay put while engraving? Asking this because one of them seems to have escaped and is running for its freedom @6:57 🤣. Nevertheless thanks for the great vid! Keep it up!
No, the cats play with the bugs
I currently have a 30W Fiber. As much as I would like to say yes, I would need to know how it would mark on Kydex (specifically tan). It would definitely help on glass and leather better than trying to do work arounds on my fiber.
From what I have seen, it will mark most anything. I don't have any tan kydex to test.
@@TheClackShack I have plenty of scrap pieces laying around here if you want some. I know on my fiber it puts of some nasty smoke, we always vent out of the building.
@@OfficeBlackAnchorProductsLLC If I had it, I would test. Sounds like there might be a needed video.
@@TheClackShack I'll get some sent that way.
was wondering if that package made it?
17:43 I thought you said at the top that it doesn't have red framing laser?
So what is the red dot in the cutting video in the corner?
It doesn’t. It has two red dots for focusing.
@TheClackShack aaah
Lightburn won’t let me go above 40khz. How are you getting 100khz?
You have to change it in the device settings.
@TheClackShack thanks!
Omni is no different than Atomstack M4 except for slightly more power 5W instead of 2W, and the wavelength(uv instead of nir). It is a DPSS laser and not a real fiber laser, it degrades fast(due to Qswitch wearing out) with sustained usage at higher ouput levels and has 10X less lifetime than real fiber lasers.
There is a fat conduit, deceptively looking as if fiber is routed, but is a simple electrical cable connecting to the galvo head🤯. The big box next to the galvo head encloses the DPSS laser/driver with air cooling. The galvo head is controlled by the controller card, that is fiber capable(but used to drive the dpss instead). You can find all this from the owners manual, and also have sneak peak inside the base from one of the influencers getting a mulfunctioning unit. There is a reason why the actual specs. on the unit is conveniently left out. Except for engraving on Glass, Fabric not good for metal and other solid materials. Definitely not for cutting. It is a matter of time they will come down in price(atleast by 3X), since there is a lot of markup due to absence of an OEM 1064nm fiber module either from Raycus or JPT. Just trying to help customers making the right decision and save some money and heartache.The resolution is good for aesthetic engraving.❤👍
The M4 is a 1064 NM or IR laser, the Omni is a UV 355 NM laser. The wavelength effects how it interacts with materials. It does also have a fiber line from the source, not sure which machine you were thinking of.
@@TheClackShack Imagine that you have nothing better to do, but to go on each video of this laser and talk trash about the laser and the creators. People have absolutely nothing better to do?
