PERMANENTLY “marking” stainless steel with a K40 laser cutter engraver (crc dry moly lube)k 40

I was really impressed on how durable this laser etching marking can be on stainless steel. When you consider all the variables this is a very high resolution extremely durable low-cost solution to marking stainless steel.

Upvote for the clever air assist. I was using an aquarium pump.

Thanks bro. That was helpful info indeed. I was just deciding on a entry level K40 Co2 or a Sculpfun S9 diode laser - comparing the metal engraving.💕thank you.

Does it (crc dry moly lube) has any flavor to mark "white" in black anodized stainless steel ?

[@cybersechs1368]

Interesting, do you think this would have the same effect with a DIODE laser? Like the one on the Ortur Master 2 gantry type laser engraver??

20 mA?? Running over 12 mA is a good way to kill your tube.

What makes it stick? If you etch with a cricut maker would it also work?

[@ladislaugomes7447]

Please, how much did the laser heat up the steal?

[@oaklep5734]

can wd40 be used instead?

[@jamiemill3342]

Hello, what laser is this?

[@kinsy9875]

Looks like an Omtech K40 laser.
