    You will get far better consistency if you quickly evacuate the smoke from the lasers path.
    A lot of energy is masked by the smoke when the laser try’s and penetrates. If the smoke is variable in depth as seen this means inconsistent power reaching your object.
    I do deep engraving on my 50w fiber for steel components I manufacture. Lots of material removal. Having a stronger airflow over doubles my production speed going deep. Without a strong airflow my depths are inconsistent and overall take longer.
    Food for thought :)

    Hi
    You don’t need to use glasses with either of them lasers? The co2 galvo and the fiber, no glasses needed? We are thinking one for our shop to engrave wooden signs for our customers so I was wondering if we need any kind of cover or such
    Thanks in advance
    Cool videos keep them coming

      I don't have time to watch the video, but it was probably the 30watt. Now I use both, but mainly the 60 watt.

    But aren’t you concerned on the lack of any shield or safety system on that thing? Or the extraction-visible smoke like that indicates it’s not good enough extraction--putting really terrible chemicals into your space.

    • @ttms

      For fiber there are sometimes shavings that you just dust off. I usually wipe everything with a microfiber towel after it's done. I keep these around the shop for that - amzn.to/3CAHQx0

    Please stop exposing your eyes to the laser beam. Just because you don't see the beam doesn't mean its not eating away at the cones and rods in your retina. Its also not doing any good to the lens of your eyes.
    Understand that China might not care about your vision but we do. Even short term exposure at these outputs can be very detrimental to you eyes, especially long term.
    As a influencer other learn from your techniques. Teach everyone the right way. No one likes to wear the filters glasses but its the price to pay to use a open system.... Stop watching the beam.

    As an eyecare professional, let me reiterate what others have said here - for the love of god, please wear eye protection when around those lasers - you are putting your eyesight at significant risk. No amount of money per hour is going to restore that damage to your retinas.
    And even if you don't care about your own vision, you're setting a awful example to others who watch your videos.

      I was looking at that myself. I suppose it's 'possible' he got some special coating on his eyeglasses maybe? But there is still no side protection for the eyes and that light absolutely will wreck the eyes in a permanent fashion.
