Everybody and there dog has a laser now but its one thing cutting stuff ..its another making stuff people want .
Enjoy your videos. One question -- are you vectoring a mask and then paint the glass? That's what it looked like to me. Not sure about $3000 a day. Maybe theoretically possible but not very practical, unless you get a large order of the same image.
I'm Fascinated with all the possibilities, I would love to learn how to use a laser and the proper programs. Great channel, new sub.

im interested in getting a laser but I agree it needs to be industrial grade. What is the cost of that 100 watt that you have? At my job we have a 6000 watt but I believe the cost was up around $900,000 and by the time they added the rack system loaders it was nearly $1.4million But it has capability of cutting 2" thick parts
Nicely made! But please use a camera with a much higher resolution. 720p is really not enough. And second a last thing: Use a desktop capture software always when you explain and show software settings. Thanks! Greetings from Germany :-)
Have you been paid or just thinking about these income?
He usually pulls out those numbers out of his fantasy
T80Cy lol, just wondering about these figures....making plenty from sales...but asking for monthly payments to “support “ his channel!
@@eyamnottier3411 Mate, just wishful thinking, or deliberately putting this numbers to attract views from people with a CNC rig that hopes to get that amounts as well. But whoever knows, I wish him he can charge that amounts
@@sorinmiliescu That's definitely why i'm here. Looking to buy a laser or garnet cutter, but they're expensive, and anything to offset that cost would be interesting. But of course like most machinery, they're priced not to what they cost to make, but what they cost to you. Which is usually some % of your business. Usually over 100% for a single machine, because a dude with a single machine isn't running a business.
QuadCopter 102 Typical loser commie dumbass comment. These videos take a lot of time to plan, shoot, edit and upload so why shouldn’t he be compensated for that? Some people...
thanks for ur wonderful Video, i wants to learn more form ur Experience. I Have a Q: lesser could cut plasma?
What about trotec speedy 300 or 360 120w? Can one make a business with either of them?
Have a look at Adobe Illustrator, it's tracing function is incredible. Outputs a vector image that needs mostly no re-edit.
Amazing graphics software , pity you can only rent it
I would give Lightburn a go! Free 30 day trial with no limits
Do you think , it could cut Abalone Shell for inlays ?
Wish I was your neighbor,love working with wood and metal,retired RV mechanic my self the trouble is I'm 70 now and only scratched the knowledge of using a computer, and I think I could learn a ( butt load ) of knowledge the way you explain this
20:00.....MAGNETS!!!!!! OMFG Why didn’t I think of this!!😀😀 I hope this works for my application. Excellent vid 👍
Change that bloody unAustralia flag!!!!
As someone who has run a business your $3,000 a day is just wrong.
Yes small business owners work 10+ hours a day but it breaks down to
30% actual paying work
30% advertising and drumming up new business
40% business work (accounts payable, account receivable, ordering parts, taxes, etc, etc)
So on a 10 hr day you are really looking at 3 hours of actual paying work or closer to $900 a day. Dont get me wrong, that is still $234,000 a year gross which is not a bad income.
It is not $3,000 a day!
Nice.
Could be a tree with some birds or a alien/demon face actually.
I don't even own a laser but found this video so interesting

I run a business or two... You MUST account for: sales, marketing (they are separate things), research, customer service, cleaning, accounting, quoting, packaging + delivery among many other things. Perhaps you could hire a technician to run the laser while you did the rest of those jobs.
Not trying to discourage anyone, but running a business has many many non-billable hours so to say you can just cut boards for 8-10 hours a day is completely unrealistic in my opinion.
He stressed that with the proper work as well as that it won't happen ever day, that it is possible. If you were cutting custom pieces daily, yes it's possible to achieve that and more. Likelihood? Not very likely. But like all business sacrifice, good judgment, and wherewithal is important. 10 to 15k a month isn't unreasonable though and in most cases is enough to to pay rent equipment upkeep and marketing
You are very interesting. Your understanding of this is impressive and you convey an easy understanding of your work. You have teaching skills that are excellent. Thank you.
I used to program lasers at a Fortune 500 company to cut primarily 6mm steel for hydraulic tanks. I found your video very interesting. How do go about finding / acquiring work for your laser? To me, learning to program and operate this equipment would be the easy part, but finding enough work might not be.
Over 20 years of experience with 2KW/4KW Lasers I highly doubt people are paying 3k$ a day for something we would do for 300-400$ for each at the cheapest prices around. Great video nonetheless. Confused though as to why your nozzle is so far off the material surface and you're still having reflections (Power is too high, standoff is too high and your feedrate is too slow). Interesting video either way, love the lasers!
He states in the video that a shop similar to his would rate that as a 2 hour job and charge $150 per hour plus materials, so you're in the same ballpark. The $3000 figure is working all day long with no breaks.
Great Vedio!
Anyone else see the funny looking teddy-bunny/bear sitting up and looking at you in the final picture. Maybe i had the wrong mushroom soup today. :-)
On steroids... flexing.... rawr.... Same soup maybe.....
😂😂😂
Final picture? Time stamp?
I know the approxamate cost of software but what is the initial cost of an Industrial grade 100 watt laser as well as the cost of a replacement for the laser tube?
I know of a metalworking shop in the states that has a 4Kw laser and they work with steel up to 1/4" thick. They specialize in automotive parts and accessories.
What CNC you use....
Running a laser at 10 hours in one day straight isn't realistic, considering setting up the materials. Also it wasn't clear how much the cost of the machine and the consumeables figure into it and how to market this stuff. I think what he has in mind isn't "laser for hire" but rather selling particular artwork at a higher price point.
I was well into the video, before I realized you were to cut recycled forest carbohydrates. I was all amped up for steel ! I really like the manner in which you educate. Many tend to fast talk, or leave out steps, expecting everyone already knows each step well. My primary interest is in an engraving solution for on-the-fly work. So far, fiber laser approach seems to be more of a job-shop type of thing, so device can warm up. Cost per use would need to rival a rotary engraver, and in order to not lose sharp results, a motion table to bring the work to the laser. There are a couple self-contained products of the sort from Red-T, but they are still in the embryonic stage. I fear this stuff will shrink in form factor and become what I need post-retirement! For now, I am stuck at office, doing paperwork..... and I found your video as the result of viewing another laser that was recommended I check out. A nice way to kill some time during this shutdown, even though I am considered "essential".
Really interesting video, i have a friend who does this and all sorts of other things with CNC's as a personal business but any one will tell you its easy to make money as its time + materials but up-keep and maintenance will cost you more than you expect...but if you consider time it took to learn his art + machines its a long time and big dollars
Top notch work and video sir!
However for most of us Who don't have access to this machinery , the first 15 min of computer work shown can be distilled done to just a couple min !
Hi, very informative. Would you be interested in giving me some training ? I am happy to pay you as I have some free time after Christmas and looking to buy a CNC for my workshop. Thanks
i use corel draw to convert artwork to .ai and .eps that the lasermark software can use
thanks Roger for explaining the way things are done, Happy New Year
PUT GLUE ON EVERY PIECE THAT IS CUT OUT. LAY BOARD ON IT. LIFT UP BOARD WITH ALL CUT OUT BITS IN THE EXACT SAME AS OTHER PIECE AND HANG ON THE WALL IN THE SAME ROOM. WOULD MAKE A VERY INTERESTING PIECE.
@@AV036 IM 51. NO EDUCATION. JUST BEEN DOING IT THIS WAY FOR YEARS.
i have no idea how you can earn 3000 + with that only. if so i'd be rich by now
In the perfect world where you have non-stop 10 hours worth of work lol... obv not gonna happen
@@rathernotdisclose8064 that's not really true in this case. Using vector files like he is makes it incredibly easy on his side to the point where he just has to teach x, y, and z and let her rip. No guess work, straight forward setup, and the customer gets exactly what they paid for since the vector file is their design thereby eliminating any programming errors on his behalf.
Also, his figures likely represent the gross earnings instead of net earnings which is a big difference once you figure for taxes, overhead, consumables and such. For example, my shop at my house as its own dedicated electrical service that is considered non-residential which is about 40% more per kw/h than the residential service at my house (6.5 cents per kw/h @ house and 10.x in the shop). IDK what his setup is like but the point is that you can start talking about serious money pretty quickly which takes a nice bite out of that $3k figure.
Just some food for thought.
@@apersonontheinternet8006 Wtf are you even on about man? Neither of those paragraphs you just wrote are related to "amount of work orders received" which is what I was referring to in my comment. The man even said himself in the video that the way his machine is potentially capable of earning him 3k in a day is if he got 10 work hours out of it per day or something like that, which he then goes on to supplement with "provided you've got the work". I'm just saying it isn't likely that you get so many orders that you get to run that thing 10+ hours a day pumping out orders non stop.
@@rathernotdisclose8064 What do you mean it isn't "likely"? What the hell does that even mean? You know what "likely" (in the contents that you're using it) means? Without any effort or *just average* effort. You have to work *10 times as hard* otherwise you're right it isn't likely and will not exceed likely without obsessive dedication. If you believe you can make that kind of money a day you will make that kind of money a day. It doesn't just happen in a perfect world, there is no perfect world. However, it is some company's reality right this very moment.
@@lyteyearz5810 I mean it isn't likely because this kind of service doesn't seem likely to be needed NON-STOP, all day every day from one shop. Maybe if you're the only one around within a vast distance that offers this service in a very densely populated area, but that sounds unlikely too. Wanting it badly doesn't really change whether or not the work comes in. He is performing work for people that requested it, so he can't just "work 10x harder" to earn 10x more if he feels like it. People have to put in the orders for your machine to be making you money. For you to get THAT many orders that you are just running your machine 10 hours a day seems very unlikely to me. That is what I mean by not likely. Even if you could cite examples of this happening, I'd argue that it isn't the norm, which means it is uncommon, which means it being "not likely" still applies.
So? If it is the best 100w laser, Then why wouldn't you put it in the description panel below the video? You did for the software.
Thanks! Liked! Subscribed!
The problem is this machine price is at least 5000$
No!, $11,000 + TAX
@@rogerwebb9600 Lmao. U paid 11k? For a 100? U got bent over with no vasoline.
So you made $3,000 on this job?
You're not the brightest bulb on the tree
Thanks for the video. I know how to make many things. It's finding enough customers to be able to make enough money to make a go of it.
Do you have videos on this?
Thanks.
You are sooo the man 👍. That was ‘spectacular’. 🥳 I thank you so very much Now all i need is my laser (industrial). 🙂
Glad to help
Love the knowledge you are offering Roger, I'm in the process of purchasing a laser to compliment my wife's cake business here in Melbourne along with managing my steel fabrication company (I'm going to be a busy boy). Along with running CAD at the shop and also looking at CNC PLASMA I reckon the laser will be an easy learning curve. Appreciate the channel mate.
how about a link to the actual laser machine you are using
If you going to tell us how much we can make you should include how much to get started to at least the point that you are at
Hi, you need to see more of my videos, it's a 100-watt 6090 laser. See my video, Chinese LASER's**WATCH** before you BUY, (NOT) an eBay laser. My machine was $11,000 with TAX "yes you need to pay TAX to get it off the boat" and then $8,000 for Carveco and then Laser cut 6.1. Then a good filter system, all up you will be looking at about $25,000
@@rogerwebb9600 LOL - Thank you for making these videos. Some people don't want it if they can't steal it and others don't want it if they have to spend their own money to buy it. These are a banker's dream and a lot of the problem in today's world in my humble opinion. They live in a throw away world buy it on credit fantasy where everyone can get rich quick. Thank you again for what you do and all the best to you and yours.
Another excellent video thanks for sharing your wisdom you have a blessed day
What manufacturer did you choose for your PTL-6090?
Why do you use the metal square to focus, instead of focusing on the material?
Hi, I have a proximity censor on my laser head
Carveco software. "Only" $8000. Nope, not for me.
A couple of questions. I must have missed something but can you tell me what the finished product is made of as it appeared in the video that you were cutting paper, was the finished screen beneath the paper? Also what make of laser are you using? Thanks
It to me looks like 2-3mm Plywood. Laser Operator of over 20 years now this video had to have been suggested to me for a reason o.O
A really great and informative video! Great explanation and demo. Thanks so much!
Very informative. Would like to know if you have developed a tutoring program for a novice to become proficient in this technology. Thx.
Hi Brad, the best way is to see all my videos, with the laser from about 3 years back.
Been watching your vids all day and just noticed something, that storm trooper is a highly valued collectors item, I had one 30+yrs ago, they now sell for thousands!
Yes I have a large collection
@@rogerwebb9600 My Boba Fett died to firecrackers when I was about 15...it was the real cash-cow. Ive seen them for $15,000!! i had darth as well, cloth cape, pink sabre, ver cool. I am considering something like a 500w fibre laser for metal cutting, covid has made some occupations unviable I fear.
Hello we are a carpenter company based in belgium wich machine is this?
All I saw was him cutting plywood then at the end a glass panel appeared , what did I miss.
Without having gone to far into the video, I'm gonna guess he was cutting acrylic or plexiglass, which usually comes with a brown paper sticker on either side to protect from scratches. You usually leave this on while cutting and working with the material to protect it so at the end he removed this covering exposing the transparent material.
What, you don't believe in magic?
Great content and such a pleasant man.
Nice concept awesome
I Iove when I see some one who loves his stuff of what ever he is doing.
Great chanel! Keep going!
Thank you very much!
These are the type of instructional videos I've been looking for. I bought a small laser setup just to get familiar with programming and using a laser engraver/cutter. I don't plan on making anything other than practice pieces with it. I'll be ordering a 100W Co2 in two months that I plan on using to add income to my already existing business. I look forward to watching your other videos.
Have liked and have subscribed!!!!
Thank you for an amazing video.
What else can we use that laser on?? A list from anyone is free to comment..
The music is great!
ArtCAM is no longer available.... What do you recommend?????
Carveco Maker, Maker + or CARVECO
Damn dude. You are one smart fella! Well done sir. 👏🏻
CNC is actually pretty easy stuff once you get some of the basics out of the way assuming you aren't doing multiple processes on multiple machines where you can easily paint yourself into a corner and no longer be able to hold your work.
I don't mean to take anything away from him but rather intend to imply that everyone should give it a shot. The trade needs people who can think on their feet and pay attention badly and many libraries (around me, at least) now have 3d printers available for public use.
Great Video , and love the Google music channel. Let me know what Jazz channel it is .
If I send you a jpeg via email can you send me a vector back in email? How much will this cost me? I've been trying to have a flag made with my family Crest and the flag company needs a vector image but can't do the conversion....
Hi Jason, see my video **CARVECO HOBBY VERSION IS HERE** it is $90, that will do the vectors for you.
@@rogerwebb9600 I might be missing something, but creating dxf vector files is something I've done in InkScape. It's free for both Windows and Linux and possibly other platforms. There are tutorials available on UA-cam that show you how to use it.
Great work! I have been looking for this and similar designs but no luck, can you please share the file?
Thank You very much for this very informative tutorial. I am fascinated by this tech. I also Love all your background collection :)
Great video!! Your passion and knowledge is quite evident! I'd love to learn more!
How can we find out what machines you recommend to set up a shop
Mr Roger, I've been watching your videos recently, and I would love to have the opportunity to get in touch with you. I want to buy a laser machine for cutting foam and any non metal material. and I would love to have the chance for a quick call and see if you could guide me trough some good tips or any advice regarding the type of machine i could get. Do you think is this possible?
Look forward to hear from you, and thanks in advance!
I must say that is way cool makes me wan to start a small business with a laser cutter and a CNC . Good job thank you so much for your hard work on your videos.
Hi Rodger, What is the Brand of your laser? I'm in Canada and looking on the net for PTL 6090 a lot of brand are popping up! Thx.
I’m going to need an engineering degree to operate all that
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family
How can I start a business with the same machine..
You need to see all my videos on CNC router, milling and lasers. As well as ArtCAM, Carveco, Mach3 and laser cut 6.1 you will need to master all of this, so download the programs and see how you get on before you relay start to spend big $$$. To start a CNC business you will need USD$ 50,000+ you cannot depend on just a laser to be successful.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family
Thank you for explaining the way things are done in the case of cutting wood or marking, Happy New Year 2020. I would like to know what type of laser did you use? If it is a laser CO2 laser how do you avoid fume?
Hi baroo vary goody
Inkscape can do what you need for free
why didnt you use illustrator?
Thanks for making the video. Very interesting, in fact Fascinating! Please tell me, where did you buy the 100W laser cutter?
Great tutorial. That panel - I cannot help but see faces and things that aren't meant to be there -a cyberman or C-3-PO going for a pee, a hog or pig lower down and a dragon.
What kind of laser?
Dear instructor do you know if Co2 K40 can cut ACM?
DO NOT PUT DCM IN A LASER
... 😁👌great delivery of info...!!!... nice...!
Found you today and very nicely done. I like this.
30000000 hahaha
scrutinised the video but couldn't work out what the decal was made of ? plastic ? would it work with thin sheets of acrylic or HDPE ?
Very good dear
Fine work sir, it’s time to start saving for a laser.
Could you please tell me where I can find this music ?
I love that old world craftsmanship!
Lol... done with a computer and super advanced 100 watt freakin laser...
Ahh yes I remember my grandpa telling me tails of using his Lazer CNC because all his hand tools were were so obsolete back then back in the "old world" lol
...nice job with the video...A.C.Feuerhelm
what laser are you using drop me the 411 thank you.
100 watt 60 x 90
How much do this cost
is that a redsail? It looks exactly like my machine...
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family
@@rogerwebb9600 Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Could you use a picture editor and turn the picture into a black & white picture then import it in to that program to turn into a vector? would that reduce the amount of colors first?
interesting vid. Forgive my ignorance but what material did you cut? I thought it might be thin metal, but then the cutting footage looks like thin wood? Are these lasers a good substitute for a plasma cutter for thin metal materials? Thanks!
Parabéns 👏👏👏
Hey Roger, thank you so much for this video. .. I have been working with a lasercutter for some time now (free access to one via a hackerspace, only have to pay for materials)..
Question: One thing I dont seem to understand is what if you want to go bigger than the 600x300 space of the laser. How do you cut up the objects? Do I need to design it that way in the design software or is there some support in the laser engraver driver.
No you need to design it in the software
Thank you for sharing your work and the knowledge!
I’ll have my granddaughters watch this to show them the possibility of working from home!
Thank you again!
Social media has great knowledge potential! 😊
I have an industrial 130w laser which I just bought. Can you tell me the proper speed and power setting for 1. Etching glass and 2. Cutting 1/8 inch oak plywood to do projects similar to what you’ve demonstrated so I can use my laser to earn a living.
Hi, go to my channel I have approximately 50 laser tutorials, you will need to see them all.
As a Radio Ham, I see possibilities for making Printed Circuit boards, etching front panels and controls. any thoughts please. Great video and lots of food for thought. Jim (based in UK)
