I'm in AZ. I run a small machine shop and started anodizing for the customers now I'm being asked to etch as well. Was going to do acid etch then I ran across this. Only problem is I am computer illiterate. How is it for old guy like me to learn? Would love to learn more or maybe check one out in person.
Starting price $8,000 is very expensive. Below $1,000 there are some in the market.
Hello, I'm interested in created large acrylic name signs. Which machine do you recommend?
@@krisea3807 yeah for the useless chinese lasers :)
@@derekwaszkiewicz8338 - learning our machines is the easy part, but you would need to brush up on your graphic software skills. This is where many of our customer shine. The better you know a graphic software the easier it is to produce uniquely decorated products.
The best part of using the rockies logo and mentioning that they aren't having a good season... is that this video will be relevant forever! :D
Just received sample kit in mail. They are pretty amazing.
Seriously, you guys have the best video on lasers anywhere, and I've seen a LOT of laser vids. Job well done! Awesome lasers!
Wow, thanks!
Amazing job, I like the way to explain everything related to engraving & cutting.. Nice tutorail
We use four zings in our company.. and they are relaly amazing lasers and honestly some of the most intuitive lasers i have worked with. Fast, reliable and if you have the rotary and the vecor cutting grid, you are set for a loooot of things. Perosnally.. if i had the money, i definitively would get one for myself for my own projects.
100% very useful, though the cost is high I need to start a business with this. Am so excited.
This is a great video, I cannot believe everything this system will do. This is going to be my next project.
this was helpful thank you
Good info and demonstration thanks for the video.
This was an amazing demonstration. Well done.
Looking forward to proooobably doing business with you guys. LOL

I have the SCU1060 80w Can i just use the software on my machine's?
Beau Anderson Hi Beau - We could recommend that you consult the manufacturer of your system for the answer to that question.
do you have a video like this for your dual laser system for wood and metal?
Hi Christina - here is a link to a similar style video for our dual source laser systems. www.epiloglaser.com/m2video/
Impressive.
Hi, can you tell me if you have a timber object similar to the shape of an aeroplane wing, this is flat on the bottom with a curve on the top. So when you engrave the laser is not cutting on a flat plane, it will be at different distances as it travels over the curve. How will this effect the way it engraves, does it adjust itself for the different heights as it goes ?
Like the video but wish you didn't have the music in the background.
what do u think about the glowforge laser machine
what is the life expectancy for these? I want to start an engraving business focusing mainly on glasses for the time being. After roughly how many glasses (or similarly sized projects) are your products expected to need servicing or "last"
Hi, glass is a great product to engrave with a laser machine. Our laser tubes will last from somewhere between 3-5 years depending on your application and hours of use. Glass produces very little smoke/debris during engraving, so the maintenance required to keep your system clean would be very little.
for cutting we have select anchor point or any pertivular point on corel draw image for laser cutting
is the driver (software for helix, mini, fusion etc) epilogue has an estimated working time without having to operate the machine first? to save consumers time
Hi Geri, thanks for asking this question. The Fusion M2 series provides the job run time at the machine with each job that is sent to the system.
Wow. This is beautiful and artistic. Can it be done on metals too?
Yes, we have a line of fiber laser systems specifically for laser etching and engraving on metal surfaces. Learn more about our fiber metal marking lasers here -www.epiloglaser.com/laser-marking-metal/

Do you sell this machine? I need another one like this
Is there a model that will accommodate the average person say perhaps the size of James Bond?
Can somebody tell me if you can do PCB etching on these? if so, what would be the processes I would have to do?
Hi Brandon - our fiber laser systems are the best option we have for this type of project. Here is more information on the subject if you're interested. support.epiloglaser.com/article/8205/42816/laser-systems-and-printed-circuit-boards
I'd love to do a review as a novice on one, as o have alot of free time since cervical fusion.

May i know how to get the preset of the leather or maybe you can give me? And what happen if we don't use the preset for the leather?
Hi Dimas - the leather preset is available and installed during the driver and software installation for your laser. You can find the setting under our driver in the Advanced tab settings. Additionally, the settings are available in the manual that came with your Epilog Laser. If you don't happen to have the manual handy you can download your manual here. www.epiloglaser.com/tech-support/laser-manuals.htm
Could one of these cut stencils 5 to 7 mil I would like to make stencils to sell and use could you suggest one Thank-you for your time and this great demo
Depending on the material you're using for the stencils, yes this should be possible with any of our laser systems.
I own a helix and wondering if it is possible to get the files for these cutting boards? Love my 50 watt Helix
Hi Al - we aren't able to give away these files due to licensing issues. Here is a link to the Beef version of the file we used. www.thinkstockphotos.com/image/stock-illustration-vintage-graphic-page-for-butcher-shop/184712168/popup?src=history
nice video
Two part question - where or how do you get those, I assume, stock photos, flowers designs, Rockies, etc.? And, how do you get licensed for NFL, MLB, NCAA, etc designs? Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you can print using vector graphics. Vector graphics are different from photos from your phone in that they are images that are mathematically calculated to be able to scale to any size. If you want NFL, MLB, NCAA etc designs for personal use, just google "NFL png" or "MLB png" designs .png is a file format that uses vector graphics. Hope that helps!
Walter Hynson no - you will get a cease and desist and also a chance to license. Look at Etsy - we would al love licenses. No no jail it’s not criminal like that - they can send a cease and desist and ask for royalties
Wao. its quite something
Can you change the power of the laser and not just burn time
Yes, you can change the power of the laser output as well. Depending on which material you are working with you can lower or raise the power and speed on a 1% to 100% scale.
Benjamin Sieber thank you. I’m very interested in purchasing one.
@@Checkitfirst Where are you located? The next step if you're interested in purchasing will be to contact your local distributor.

What is the cost of that machine youbare using??
Hello ! Maket?
I'm looking to get a Co2/carbon laser from epilog in the near future, i can't wait! one question i have is how durable is the equipment for long runs? for example if you have to engrave 200 pieces on metal, is that something you can do end to end or do you need to factor in a rest period for the machine between jobs?
Hi Alex - our CO2 metal tube laser systems are rated to last from 3-5 years depending on usage. We have many customers that run their lasers 5-7 days a week 8-10 hrs. a day without issue. If you are planning to run all 200 pieces in one session, then yes an Epilog laser system can handle those types of longer run time jobs. Is the engraving job a Cermark on metal application or some other coated metal application like anodized aluminum?
Benjamin Sieber sorry i forgot to mention this is in relation to fibre lasers not CO2 so the metal (aluminium) will be etched onto directly. for example a batch of serial numbers
How would you set up items a that aren't square such as multiple knife blades?
+Nathan Garza Create a second layer in the CAD/Design file that is the outline of your parts. Cover the bed of your machine in cardboard, tape it into position so it doesn't shift, and 1st cut the outlines through the cardboard and remove the centers. This gives you a "fixture" to locate your multiple, odd shaped parts. 2nd, load the parts, refocus, and run the other layer of the file that includes your text or graphics.
i need it’s machine. how to is machine buy?

hi there can someone suggest what sort of leather gives best laser engraving output in case of image and vector drawing
Hello Sharfi - genuine leather is a very easy material to cut or engrave with a laser, so there aren't any restrictions on the types of leather you can use. When engraving leather the resulting mark is usually a dark to light brown, depending on settings, so in many cases the best results are seen on medium to light toned leathers because they provide the best contrast between your laser engraved mark and the color of the leather.
Here are a couple different leather items laser etched with an Epilog system.

I have the epilog helix 80 watt machine, what setting should i use to get a dark burn but not deep burn on red alder? Do you think 600 DPi on 100 speed 100 pwr would yield the results I'm looking for? Any help is appreciated.
Hi Javier, the trick to a dark burn that isn't deep is to vary the focus. Change the power to 40-50%, and try lowering the table in increments of a 1/16" and test each new focus on a piece of scrap wood until you see the results you are looking for in your mark.
@@epiloglaser thank you for the help. These videos have done wonders for me. Looking into photo laser plus now. Seems like a useful tool. I spend lots of time converting images for engraving on the same materials they have profiles for on that program. Seems like a time saving/profit increasing tool.
@@theprodistini2590 - Glad to hear our video content is so helpful! What software are you currently using for photo engraving?
I'd like to know where you get your alder wood and the bamboo box. Having a hard time finding good wholesale suppliers for this stuff here in the USA. Thanks in advanced. Nice work guys.
+I McClellan - The alder sheets are from Colorado Heirloom in Loveland, CO and the bamboo boxes are from a company called InterDesign, Inc. out of Ohio.
Great video,you almost have me sold on it. But i do have a question. Will this machine engrave stone, such as slat or flat flagstone. Thanks again for the video.
+Richard Gottshall Yes, you can engrave different types of stone with our CO2 laser systems. Here are some examples: www.epiloglaser.com/how-it-works/stone.htm

awesome job.I wondering how the engraving works? Bec.I never see one before, but now I know! Thanks for the video,Hiw much this machine?
I payed 16 000 $ for 5 years of work :) on Epilog mini 18
Looks great but where would you get service if something breaks?
You're local distributor will be able to help you with training, parts replacement, warranty extension, and material processing advice. To locate your distributor visit www.epiloglaser.com/where-to-buy/worldwide-distributors.htm.
Just how small of an item can you engrave? I'm needing to render from a high quality photo to something smaller than a dime or about 3/8th of an inch. It will be doing the same task over and over but from a different macro photo.
will you take a third-party out-of-state bad check?
I have a super cheap $200.00 diode laser that does a nice job on wood and leather goods (ie.Wood boxes, wallets, etc). I advertise my products ($30.00) on popular online forums but they never sell well. How do people even get their money back on machines like an Epilog that sell for thousands?
Yea, it seems the people that don't know about laser cutting wont seek our it's products. And the people that do will just buy their own and learn to use it in a weekend.
I think you have to really play to people’s desires. Don’t sell the “laser” as the hook, make sure the item Itself is dope no matter how it was made. Whatever you laser on the wallet or box should be something people get psyched about. For example, people sell maps of middle earth lasered on leather, and I think they do alright because it’s so interesting and iconic. I also think if you swing it, local business is better. On Etsy or other services you’re competing with the whole country. In your hometown, you may be the only laser engraver around. Do some custom cutting boards or offer some businesses In your area lasered coasters for trade shows, and such and such. A lot of people don’t know about laser engraving so being unique in your own social sphere might benefit you more then in the art sphere where every person with a laser is trying to do the same as you.
slayerpianoman thanks! I’ll try again, but I’m in Long Island, New York. I bet a lot of people here all know about laser so I still think it won’t help.
How much Laser power is needed to cut thru 8mm softwoods like Pine and Spruce ?
Our 30-watt laser tube will cut through 8 mm (0.31") pine and spruce in one pass, but if you're going to be using your system as a cutter a majority of the time a 50-60 watt will give you quite a bit more production power. You'll be able to run a 50 or 60-watt system more quickly and produce more of what you're making.

How good is it on metal?
Is it possible to engrave directly onto phone or laptops versus a snap on cover safely?
James Thrush yes
Hi James - yes you can safely etch directly onto a phone or laptop without causing any harm to the device. It's important to make sure that if you device is under warranty that it won't void the warranty. In most cases it should, but you should check first with the manufacturer.

If you are printing your own design that you want to be laser printed, what software should you be drawing in ?
You can print text, graphics, logos and photos with any graphics software. We recommend Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and CorelDRAW, but essentially, if you can print it, you can engrave it. For laser cutting, you will need to use a vector based graphic software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW.
Epilog Laser thanks !!
Is it possible to connect them via LAN instead of USB?
I'm interested in getting one, but it would be in a completely different room than my Computer (pretty much it would be in the workshop, and the computer in my office lol)
Absolutely possible! Ethernet is the much more reliable way to go.
hello is there any book or video to teach me how work with this from zero
We have a training website which you will be given access to once you purchase one of our machines.
@jcriley76 - you are correct. Much like a paper printer you do need to know how to use graphic design software.

Hello! it looks amazing! what if i want to engrave on a curved surface? the laser will automatically measure the depth at time of engraving? as an example engraving a macbook, will i be able to do it? i am comparing your product with the new Glowforge.
Thanks!!
+hugo camarillo - Yes, engraving a Macbook with any of our systems is a fairly easy application. An Epilog can laser etch at 72-1200 DPI and the anodized coating on the Macbooks is perfect for engraving at the higher resolutions. The resulting image at 600 or 1200 dpi on anodized looks amazing with more detail reproduced in the final laser etching. The laser beam will be in focus for approximately 1/8" above and below the focal distance so engraving on the slightly curved surface of the MacBook is not a problem. In addition, if you'd like to engraved drinking glasses or cylindrical shaped items most of our systems have a rotary attachment that is available as an add on.
Hello Benjamin: Can u let me know the price of this machine? Planning to have an engraving business, still with tons of questions, hope to have your help with it...
