Thanks for the nice vid. Good work. Have you ever tried cutting bamboo. If this thing could cut through a .5 inch bamboo cutting board I'd buy it. Just don't want to plop 2k to find out. My 80 watt co2 will not do it.. the glue i guess. Maybe blue laser will?
Thanks bud! It is definitely a lot of screwing around before you can actually engrave anything 😂. Minus the enclosure leaks, it isn’t that bad of a laser. Certainly is a little over the top in power 👍
Many thanks! The cutting board would have been perfect, only if I would have checked for paint on the other side 😂. You move the laser over your material, and press the autofocus button, just that simple! Was accurate for everything I used it on.
Well with more power you can actually process jobs fast. Say a job would normally take a couple of passed, now might take only one. Or you can use more power, and have the laser move faster to complete the job faster. Of course there is the cutting, it can cut thicker material more efficiently. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@QuentinKarmark 😂😂 When you made the comment, I knew you watched Chad’s video! Chad and I receive a lot of the same products, and support each other’s work. As Chad mentioned early into the video, that it “isn’t” suggested that you try it. We are talking very thin metals. You could think of the metal as almost like a veneer if you were to cut it out successfully. I did this on the xTool 40w video. I would suggest if you are wanting to cut metal by other means than a blade, get a plasma CNC, high power 1064nm 1k or higher laser, or CNC capable of doing it.
Ok, appreciate the timely and thorough response… I actually have a need to cut very thin metal, and after seeing Chad’s video, was very excited to see if anyone else was attempting it with this or similar machines… especially at this price point.
This was an informative video. I like what I see, for the most part, but think this may be too much power for me. I know that seems weird, but when you only need 1/4in or so, it can matter. Then again, the higher possibilities could be a nice trade off versus a 30W for only a hair cheaper.
Many thanks! It is a lot of power! As I mentioned, 1/2 material is about the limit I willing to cut. I am wondering what will be the power cap? There has been a huge jump in 455nm laser power over the last two years. Frankly, I think the limit should be 40-50w. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Great review.I was about to buy this,the 70w was tempting.But I got the impression that the Ikier brand seemed a bit flimsy and on the lower quality side when it comes to build quality.And the way they have the wires,tubes etc is just way to messy for me.And i do believe that the bends you got on the enclosure is not from shipping,but bad handling at the manufacturer.To get these kinds of bends on items inside the box,the box itself has got to be badly damaged as well.I ended up going for the Xtool S1 40W,not perfect but i think that is a better choice then Ikier in terms of quality and usability....the thing the s1 is lacking compared to Ikier is camera and less power.I do believe the Ikier is more a cutting laser,and not perfect on detailed engraves,since it got a big spot size.Maybe that is no problem since you can change the wattage on this between 35w and 70w,making the spot size better for engraving in the 35 modus ?
If something goes wrong don’t expect help from Ikier. The manuals are written by someone that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They’ll string the conversation out till you have exceeded your frustration level. Then blame another department for failure to honor the Ikier warranty.😫
Bear and Oreo are so cute. Sawdust helps keep his fur clean and soft.
Lot of boxes.
They are great pups! They love being in the garage 👍
Love your laid back friendly delivery .. thanks for the vid 👍
Many thanks! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍😊
You stated it cuts like butter! what i would like to know was the butter straight from the fridge or was it left in the sun for an hour?
Nice work Tripod! This thing looks like a beast!
Many thanks bud! See you at RMRRF!
wil je hem een keer op max power en max snelheid laten werken?
Very nice machine after you are done screwing around. 🤩
Yeah! This machine does make you screw around a little 😂😂

Any luck finding out?
Nope
*Nice review Bro!* I just got the Atomstack 70. The only reason I accepted it is to put the module under the power meter.
Thanks bud! It is definitely a lot of screwing around before you can actually engrave anything 😂. Minus the enclosure leaks, it isn’t that bad of a laser. Certainly is a little over the top in power 👍
@@TripodsGaragewhat do you mean by having to screw around a lot before engraving?
Hi, can it cut transparent acryl 3mm to 8mm?
It cannot. You will need a CO2 laser to cut clear acrylic
@@TripodsGarage Thanks! so 40W CO2 laser will be able to cut 3mm to 5mm? What do yo think? )
Great video Tripod.
Thanks Jerry!
Awesome . Have you tried to do a photo reproduction or carving or 3 d with this Ikier ? I'm wondering if i can do a good photo reproduction . Thanks
Great job on the review...the glass came out fantastic. How does the autofocus work...accurate?
Many thanks! The cutting board would have been perfect, only if I would have checked for paint on the other side 😂. You move the laser over your material, and press the autofocus button, just that simple! Was accurate for everything I used it on.
@@TripodsGarage great…thanks for the info!
Is this 70 W optical power?
Yes it is
What are the advantages of 70W power over 30W power?

Or you can use more power, and have the laser move faster to complete the job faster. Of course there is the cutting, it can cut thicker material more efficiently. Thanks for watching and commenting.
is there any laser cutters you would recommend in the $300 to $500 range?
Depending one what you want to engrave and the size of the items
This is sickkkk
Did you attempt to cut (not engrave) metal items?
A 455nm laser is not intended to cut metals. So I didn’t attempt it.
@@TripodsGarage perhaps not, except this guy is doing it with that exact machine. ( ua-cam.com/video/GHFWKfaUeuU/v-deo.htmlsi=QMKfNQSrF_v0xi0A )

18:10 it's 150mm/min not per second :)
Shh! You were not supposed to catch that 😂

Agree and then they force you to buy spare parts instead of helping the client
That’s a lot to unpack and screw 😂
Unpacking and screwing are a must for this machine 😂😂
