Hello, thank you for this video. I have a little question. I have the LONGER RAY5 20w, I know that it is designed to go up to 10000mm/minute, but I have a problem, I have the impression that between 6000 and 10000, I don't see any difference of speed. Is there an adjustment to be made? I should point out that I precisely compared to 6000 and 10000, the time is identical... THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
Hi, thank you for your comment. The machines (in general not only longer) do adjust the execution speed based on the project, but the amount of data streamed and its mechanical and thermal limitations. For example, if you have some diether engraving with many points the buffer memory may get clustered, and the machine tries to cope with it by slowing down and reducing the power output, a similar can happen for long projects. Alternatively, if you are engraving thin details the machine needs to switch from accelerating, constant speed, slowing and reversal very rapidly, this can affect the resulting engraving negatively, therefore the engraver may decide again to slow down, in this particular example you can increase the over scanning length so that the laser has a longer distance to do the acceleration and reversal. I hope it helps.
Thank you for this video. I got my Longer5 20w for Christmas, but it's been a very frustrating experience. How is it possible that I cannot cut thru a 1/8 plywood sheet at 10 speed, 100% power? The machine's software is up to date. I use the tool to focus the laser. I am not sure what to do. Any advise would be very appreciated.
Hi, vitoangiletti1564; thank you for your comment. You can definitely use the machine for a small business/hobby. Regarding your question, yes, you can cut 5mm plywood, but you will need to slow down the machine for that. I hope it helps, and good luck with your business. Ciao
Hello my friend I have this the exact same laser cut machine. I have a problem with my air pump it does not work properly. In fact when it is turned on it cuts much more messier.... What do I do wrong???
Hi, thank you for your comment. What do you mean by messier? Wavy, Smoked? I can't really give you a hint without a more accurate description of the "messier". Yet, few points to check: - Make sure that the compressor does not vibrate the machine while in operation. - Make sure that the compressor does not suck in smoke, otherwise it sends smoke. Let me know so I can give you some more hints. Ciao
I've never used a laser engraver but I'm looking into it now because I've started making custom cutting boards, serving trays, charcuterie boards, cheese slicer boards, etc and I'd like to engrave my logo into each piece.. I just don't know what power machine I would need for that.. Is 5W enough since I won't be cutting anything? Or should I go ahead and get something like this 20W machine? I'd appreciate any input you can give me.. Thanks!!
Hi, thank you for your comment. A logo in your products will definitely make them stand out. You could get away with the 5W models, but you will be stacked to lower speeds. Dont know what your production volume is, and the type of logo, but a 10W in my opinion would be better while still retaining that tiny fine laser spot. 20W is instead a perfect power spot for both cutting and engraving as the spot is still relatively fine. I hope it helps. Ciao
Hi, @jackconnolly4567, thank you for your comment. I got the KND 25, 32 and 36 with me, and they all pass under the machine and have a pretty strong holding power. If you wonder between 16 and 20, I'd for the 20. I hope it helps. Ciao
Hi, thank you for your comment. You can cut the acrylic you are mentiining as long as it's not semitransparent. That is if the sheet is semitransarent with a foil on top, you will only be able to effect the surface. Make sure it is all mat and no light passes through. I hope it helps. Ciao
Hi, thank you for your comment. I guess you got a faulty product, this is something that can happen with any brand. I have used the 20W version from the video for months with hundreds of products and about 1000hr and had no problems with the laser module. I hope it helps. Ciao
Wow, I like that machine! Thank you for your videos. Helpful as always 👍❤

I didn’t get the air pup nor the cable that’s on the side of the fan. And I don’t understand how it’s supposed to cut. Mine doesn’t
Спасибо за обзор. В России не нашел видео)
I just ordered the promax kit where do I get the calibration charts
Thank you for your video. I am looking to buy a machine for a small businness and i will definitely consider this one. Can I cut 5mm plywood with it?

Hi, thank you for your comment.
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, I found that my site was down, but now is back online.

Hi..thank you for the review. Which power magnet works best ? KND 16 or KND 20, or more ?

Hello friend! Nice video! I have the same machine and I want to ask you if I can cut gold mirrored acrylic 3mm. I would appreciate your help!
Hi, thank you for your comment.
You can cut the acrylic you are mentiining as long as it's not semitransparent. That is if the sheet is semitransarent with a foil on top, you will only be able to effect the surface.
Make sure it is all mat and no light passes through.
I hope it helps.
