Looks fairly equal to a cut done on the 3000 watt laser we have. The half inch he showed looked fairly typical for inch or inch and a quarter on the 10,000 watt one. It's pretty good bang for his buck because both of those machines are like a million dollars. Granted, we process it in 4x10 sheets and are probably more precise but still.
@@kugelblitz1557 Yeah, I currently run a 3KW Amada Ensis and that half inch cut is comparable to ours without water-assist. Back in '95 I started on a Mitsubishi with a 1600W resonator and .500 plate was slow going haha! I bet your 10KW is fun!
@@RollinTwentySix is the Ensis the one that has the punch? We have an Amada too and there've been some issues trying to make hinges on 16ga with the punch where they don't fully fold over on the left side of the sheet. The 10KW is lots of fun when we use it but most of the work goes to the 3kw or the Amada laser/punch. I'm just a paid intern at the moment being moved around between lasers and the machine shop 😂
With this specific laser, you won't have to worry about going blind. That's because you'll have much more serious problems than that, like burn-induced brain injury. /s
I wear a mask and goggles when i use the laser. Usually i wheel it outside too if im going to be cutting a lot. Trust me i don't want to be breathing atomized metal vapor!
I ran open CO2 lasers for over 25 years, only saw 1 accident happen when a guy loved his hairspray too much ran his alum cut too fast. Fiber lasers tho - enclose that asap!
Nice, I've been a CNC Laser Operator/Programmer for nearly 30 years. I dig your setup! Your cut aint bad for oxygen, but you need some parameter-tuning for thin sheet, IMHO. Nitrogen works much better for thin decorative cuts.
The thin stuff was just air! There’s dross on the back though, I don’t think I can avoid that using air. Using oxygen is the best though because you only need a few PSI so it lasts forever, and the cut is so clean. Nitrogen would get pretty expensive! Def need some more tuning though 👍
Bro he's using laser rig that's not designed for that type of heat and you're not even going in on that fact nor are you pointing out how none of the thicker cuts were that good cause the frame where he said its held by friction shows. That was bum cut and my shop would have you redo it.
designed for that type of heat.. what? If you read above you would see I'm using air to cut the thin stuff, an experienced laser tech would understand that combined with a super thin kerf would make dross under the cut. The thick cuts in the beginning were using oxygen and were perfect.
@@TheBackyardScientist The dross buildup on your thin cuts is due to the combination of your nozzle choice along with the frequency and duty settings (parameters). I'm just saying they could use some adjustment. Air-assisted mild steel cutting is only slightly more difficult to get a clean edge in the end.
@@dominiquepopinski4675 LOL I think you're on the ultrcrepidarian side when it comes to discussion about lasers. I was just pointing out one cut on thin plate that contained dross. I'm sure he knows what he's actually doing, I was only suggesting nitrogen for those decorative thin cuts.
I really want a laser cutter, but it’s not really in my budget right now (I’m still 15) but my uncles got a big workshop with woodworking, welding, automotive etc set up and I go out there every week

Certainly! Let's integrate all the elements you've mentioned into a coherent setup: 1. **Windmill**: - The windmill generates mechanical energy from wind. - Connect the windmill to a generator (usually an alternator) to produce electrical energy. 2. **Tesla Coil**: - Use the Tesla coil to step up the voltage. - Connect the Tesla coil's output to a capacitor for energy storage. 3. **Control Board**: - Integrate a control board (e.g., microcontroller or voltage regulator). - The control board monitors the Tesla coil's voltage and regulates it. - It ensures safe charging of the capacitor. 4. **Battery Charging**: - Connect the charged capacitor to the battery. - Use the control board to manage the charging process. - Ensure proper voltage levels and safety measures. Remember, practical experimentation is essential. Adjust parameters, test, and iterate to optimize your setup. Good luck with your project! ⚡🌬️🔋🛠️
Looks like better cuts than the factory i used to work in
Yours are probably water cuts

I used to work with Trumpf CNC laser cutters. Really bad idea not to have an enclosure around your cutter to protect against reflections and fumes

Lol I like the calling it your old rust removing machine. Had it what 18 months?😂
He has a new one
@@xvphoenix4715 I'll grudgingly accept that answer ;)
It's just been gathering rust in his garage
Yeah😂😂
Classic normal household items in Florida
Missing Will with "It's lasertime" 😅
I’m not going to lie. That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life
I dig the home laser CNC. I will see you at industry day Friday, but we wont be there for the first VIP hour saturday. Cant wait for Open Sauce.
This is definitely a great, affordable DIY project for the kids!
The whole video is great but I need more heavy breathing from Will
But can it cut meat into custom shapes?
Dino shaped perhaps?
@@justaustin673dunno
How about Vin Diesel shaped pieces?
My would cut Dk shape so I can give it out to the girls and teachers I’ve had a thing with @ school tbh 🫶🏽
@@justaustin673if he says yes I’m legit buying one.
I can't go, but this looks awesome. I want one
Hope to meet you there!
Much better than the machines I used in school 15 years ago.
Floppy boxes will change humanity.
Bloody genius!! You are so amazing. Love and respect.
Hey will can finally be the laser cutter guy again
It should just fall out, you need to adjust the parameters to reduce the slag on the cut

I need this. Dont ask why, i just need it.
I love seeing someone do this for fun when I do it for work. I’m glad one of us enjoys it lol
Woah, cutting through half inch steel seems like it would be no joke to me!
Wow! I was just in the market for one of these.
Isn't that basically like a fine tune plasma cutter
Plasma uses flame to cut, laser does not ;) But you're not totally wrong when it comes to results haha!
Shouldn't that thing have some sort of protection around it so you don't shine burning lasers around randomly?
This guy is straight up young sheldon
I'm at OpenSauce and found you... can I have it?
14 gauge steel? You can make some medieval armor
such a nice laser cutter
What laser and laser head are you running? I love how you used a shapoko for the cnc.
the laser head looks like a BT240S from Raytools
It's a lot funnier knowing you put this together months ago
You’re pretty excited over this one.
I want that laser.
So what's the price of Rust remover
Its beautiful
I NEEEEEEEEEED IT BROTHER
cuts thru like a 2000 Watt Laser cuts thru 14mm steel. Checks out
What laser equipment did you use?
I'd follow that DYI if only I had a 10K laser machine :P
Your on to sumink there .
I need this in my life
That'd be great for making a model kit.
Sir you live right next to William Osman, and you beat him to the punch of building another CNC laser.
And for like 20k you too could build one. Maaaan I'm jealous
I love how he bolted the laser head to the corpse of a Shapeoko 3 💀
Make some wind chimes
I don't think I can do this myself lol... not without years of savings
surely they are equally as exclusive, as there is only one of each?
Still waiting for KillDozer 2.0...with LASERs!
Now I want one 💖
"cuts through it like a 2000 watt laser"
yeah it probably is
I'm going to open sauce!
the burr on those parts xD
This guy is the most wanted person by the us government💀💀
Awesome!
William had a nice lazer before his house burned down. That was likw his big thing
I think there’s supposed to be water in the machine
I wish you'd make more videos
I want! ❤
Now build me atlas (netlix’s adaptation)
But how does the metal underneath, holding the objects not get cut?
It does over time! The slats are replaceable
Me and my dad can’t wait to see you,in open sauce Kevin/backyard scientist
Please set a gofundme page for me getting a fiberlaser 6kw cutter..please please..
the smaller one has harder cuts
Money would buy me happiness
Some money for a plane ticket and tickets to open sauce
Do you have a video explaining how to make this?
A few years ago the nerds played Dungeons & Dragons, now they play with lasers.. 😁
I do CNC machining for a living and my coworkers and I play DND once a week in our break room. So both
Would love to go to Open Sauce, but unfortunately there's a thing called the Atlantic ocean on the way 😢
How cool!
I still can’t believe I ended up getting it
Congratulations man 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Shark tank should call you
Does it cut galvanized square steel?
Can I have the wood cutter if I ask?
Did you guys move into a new house?
Do laser vs Williams glass drop
can we get a components list?
I want that
I want to know how you made it
I WANT IT
I’ll be there!
Imma start swimming from over here in Austraya 👋🏻
try galvanized square steel😂😂😂
and: i like your cuts g
Why am I just seeing this, months after the event
Has that been patented yet?
You should have fabricated William a *special* excavator handle with this…
Lo importante es que nos cuentes como se hace 🚨
