Thanks! I appreciate that. Im pretty exited about it. Im working on some other cool things i want to do with it and id like to start doing some cool giveaways too.
@SpicerDesignsLLC Found your channel early on looking for a CK3510 review... Still haven't pulled the trigger on the f'n tractor, but I'm still watching your channel regularly. Lol You've come a long way. Best of luck!
Hey Kyle, nice video! For laser cutting solid wood you should, instead of just flooring it and go slow once, speed it up *significantly* and makes 2 - 3 passes. With this method, much less heat gets transferred into the material, but were the laser hits gets vaporized and the piece has time to cool down. This results in a *much* cleaner cut without burning and way less charring.
I have yet to use mine, but I have a few thoughts and suggestions (as UA-cam commenters do...): 1. Did you try using XCS in "Slats flat" mode with the tray not in the upmost position? I do think XCS will refuse to work with an error message. 2. Instead of guessing how to set up the pressure rollers check "Appendix 2 - Pressure levels recommended for common materials" in the manual 🙂. 3. For cutting with the conveyor feeder, using tabs is a really good idea. If parts of your cut pieces fall down they will block the conveyor mechanism. 4. With the conveyor feeder (and riser base generally) do take safety precautions, because the P2 becomes a class 4 laser. The laser beam can get reflected out of the enclosure and you'll only see that happen twice.
another great vid ! now i have more ideas on stuff to do with my wifes p2 , just need to get hers moved out of my shop and set up in her space once i finish that so we can set the conveyor up
Can you tell me, how likely is that conveyor to slip the material? Because like you encountered, if the conveyer is not as accurate as the laser itself, it will miss millimeters. How accurate is the conveyer?
The material wont slip if you have the tension set right on the conveyor. And you just have to take your time to get it squared up. It is a little tricky to use. I rarely use it.
Good idea. I was going to do something like that but i want to be able to cut it out of steel without too much detail. But yes that would be very fitting
Nice set-up and video. They should have designed it with rollers on both sides enabling it to go right to the edge ends and would allow two points of control for longer pieces. If you were doing multiple similar pieces, I wonder if you could fab a jig on the table such as two angle iron runners slid into the edge of the material to ensure they travel in square. keep up the good work.
Kyle, still watching this video, but paused it to just make this comment B4 I forget. On the conveyor, you could make or purchase adjustable height feed rollers, like I use when running long boards or material through my table saw . Just a thought, now back to the video! ... Your welcome!
Love the brand, "Machine", best of luck with the brand, I'm sure it'll do great. The conveyor is pretty cool, the fire was quite a surprise. You kept cool about it; you didn't charge in with a fire extinguisher or anything crazy like that lol
So can you rerun the Indiana sign to darken it? I have a P2 coming soon so I can’t wait to play with it. Thanks for the set up video on the conveyor. They really need to redesign that thing, you did one project and ruined it? I’ll just get the riser I guess.
You can run the program twice but once you move it youll never line it up again. Best thing to do is a test grid on that material first so you k ow exactly what finish your going to get.
This is totally off subject and I hope you don't mind the question was looking at the same CNC plasma table was wondering what size of of air compressor you use for your table to handle the CFM and if I need to go with a compressor that is 120 V or would be wise to have a 240 V or whatever going to have tue primeweld cut 60 the out put is 80 psi for 5 CFM .
No problem. I made a video a while back explaining everything you need to run that table. Might be work checking out. I just use a cheap 30gal husky 120v compressor. But i have a 45a plasma cutter. Not sure on requirements for the 60.
Think the board had some cupping, which might be the reason for slipping ? I was thinking of your machine when we ordered these boards with events engraved on them for baby milestones. I was like pfft kyle can do a better job of these. 😂 That shop has all the goodies!. Cheers 🍻 Kyle
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Yeah. Home improvements. Wife wants a green house to ride out the Apocalypse. Solar Panels, guns, bullets, gold, silver, tactical nukes ... you get the idea. Nothing like nuclear fission in the morning. Everything a growing family needs!
@@thecentralscrutinizerr you can never be too prepared. My wife shakes her head every time i come home with ammo. Its pretty much every time i come home though.
Run the project again but put masking tape over it. After it engraves you can spray it with black paint. It will really pop when you remove the tape. Machine rules!
Check out this exact XTool P2 laser here: www.xtool.com/products/xtool-p2-55w-co2-laser-cutter?
THANK YOU for giving us a video without 46 extra minutes of rambling and getting straight to the point!!
Just bought the P2S, glad i watched this, convinced me i don't need the conveyor .
Man that conveyor really opens up the door for some cool laser projects
Do you want me to bring it over?
I got one but the motor doesn't work either does the motor on the rotary tool
Threw me off on the mid week release. So I watched it anyhow😊
There is a pressure indicator built-in to the conveyor. It's on the roller section. it changes color based on the correct pressure.
Another outstanding MACHINE demonstration!
Your the real Machine man keep up the good work.
The "Machine" branding and logo is genius! Love it!
Thanks! I appreciate that. Im pretty exited about it. Im working on some other cool things i want to do with it and id like to start doing some cool giveaways too.

I sped it up on the machine sign and it was much better. Thanks for the pointers.
What? A mid-week video? Such an overachiever! 😁🍻
Haha. Well i know the laser videos can be boring for my regular viewers. It wasnt bad though
Pretty cool addition. Also, can't go wrong with "Machine". Best of luck with the brand!
Thank you!

Well done brother.....

Great little video can you advise how you stopped the the burning on the back side as i am having the same problem when using the conveyor
@@robertpulz1013 thanks! I havent done anything to correct it. Just trying to be mindful of it when setting up the material and layout.
Do you need safety glasses on when usinng the conveyor system.since the machine has open areas when running? Thanks.
Its always recommended to wear safety glasses.
Logo looks great!
Thanks!
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I heard tractors in there, fellow Kioti guy myself
@@UncleMattysGarage ive got some good upgrades on the Kioti coming soon.
In XCS software settings you can change units to inches.

I appreciate your use of (struggle) metric in your weird imperial world :)
Lovin the new machine logo. The first part of the "N" should look like your folding tape measure. Just a thought.
Good idea. I was going to do something like that but i want to be able to cut it out of steel without too much detail. But yes that would be very fitting

I thought about a more permanent setup that would allow you to square the material to the machine. I will keep your idea in mind
Liked and subscribed. LIke your style, love the sarcasm!
@@LoansbyCurts thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I try to keep all the videos entertaining.
I bet the Indiana sign would have fed better with a wider maybe full width board.
Your new sub Logo is a cool design ! Cut it on your Langmuir too !!!
Thanks! I do plan on making a nice metal version for the shop buildout.

You can run long projects but you still need at least 12 inches that you can't feed all the way or it will get off the feeder wheels
I wrote this before you said it on the video lol
You can change mm to inches in settings
Nice. Rise of the Machine! Awesome
That Machine logo is awesome! Nice job
Thanks Doug! Im pretty happy with how it turned out.
Glad you don't take no back talk from Siri
Now we need one of those little keychain voice recorders that every time you press the button it says "MACHINE!".
Hah! Thats a good idea
How much is a 'smidge' in metric?
Cool design, btw.
And Theeeeeeeeen....Machine!
So can you rerun the Indiana sign to darken it? I have a P2 coming soon so I can’t wait to play with it. Thanks for the set up video on the conveyor. They really need to redesign that thing, you did one project and ruined it? I’ll just get the riser I guess.

@@charliehuntsman9827 ya no problem. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
I was so disappointed not to hear “Machine.” Then - Machine!!!
I'm waiting for a quote for a Thunder Nova 63 130W.
Who's mass producing the "Machine " merchandise? You or Lynn???😂
I might have to hire Lynn to do it. I want her to take over ALL of your garage space.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I better put heat in the barn...
Think the board had some cupping, which might be the reason for slipping ?

Thanks buddy. Ya that stuff is expensive too
I bought this laser 4 months ago with every available accessory and haven't even unboxed it yet.
Crack that sucker open and start making stuff. You just to busy?
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Yeah. Home improvements. Wife wants a green house to ride out the Apocalypse. Solar Panels, guns, bullets, gold, silver, tactical nukes ... you get the idea. Nothing like nuclear fission in the morning. Everything a growing family needs!

Great idea
Great fucken video brotha😊
Machine❤.
Hello I hauled fuel heavy equipment now bim 65 retired
Great video. Lol though, you guys need to climb out of the dark ages and go metric, its way better than imperial (which us Brits used to use).
My Siri answered your question by saying “I don’t have a body”.
The metric system is where it's at. USA...USA!
No Bloopers and no tripping😢
HAHAHHA love IT!!!
whose groin did you pull? Does your wife know?
Metric easy to deal with .. 😂 sorry but
That’s a serious failure you could have burned the machine down
Wasnt ideal but you should never leave the machine unattended where it could actually catch fire.
A centimeter is the only logical measurement. Stop using your usa footballfield measurements.
Never
