In this video I take a first look at the new Creality Falcon2 Pro 60W laser engraver/cutter machine. Spoiler alert - It's amazing! :) For the initial sales period the machine comes bundled with a precision 1.6W laser module.
I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to test the new 60W machine and have been blown away with my first experience, the power of the 60W laser has to be seen to be believed. This is the most powerful fully-enclosed diode laser machine on the market. I'm not sure what has impressed me the most; it's incredible cutting capacity or the speed at which it can process material when cutting and engraving.
Stay tuned for Part 2 in which I put the machine through its paces producing some fine work for an upcoming project. In part 2 I take a closer look at how the camera system can be used to advantage, and produce some really detailed elements with the bonus 1.6w laser head.
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy the video.

Great job on the video! I look forward to Part 2 and your kerf findings. I’ll be interested to see if it’s a square or rectangular spot. Rectangular makes it more difficult when working with inlays. My current 10W is 0.08mm x 0.08mm and makes things a lot easier, but I would like more power to cut 6mm wood faster.

Hi James, Nice to see all the various choices creality offer when it com,es to laser cutters and what they can do. I keep meaning to get back to you regarding the plug track but life has gotten in the way 🤣 Cheers, Michael

[@BexhillWest]

No worries Michael, when you’re ready. 😀

That looks like a nice Welsh based cameo behind you? Has that had is own video? Regards

Hi James, thank you for your video! I'm considering between the 40W and 60W models and I'm wondering if the 60W gives a cleaner edge when cutting 6mm plywood than the 40W model? Did I understand correctly that the more powerful the laser and the faster it cuts, the edge will not burn black when cutting, for example, birch plywood?

[@davidorf3921]

Hi James, that you can cut a stanley blade is impressive but the cut itself looked pretty ragged, also whilst the 20 and 40W engraving looked even the 60 W to my eyes looked, well the best description I can come up with is mottled. Am I wrong ? The other thing I'm wondering about is the Kerf width, typically the more diodes you are using the wider the beam width that you get. Finally the Creality website suggests that the power settings use a different number of LED's meaning I suspect that the 22W LED's will fail before the others assuming you are cutting using a variety of settings

[@BexhillWest]

Hi David,
To be honest, I think the ‘mottled’ look you mention is more due to the material than the laser. The cleanliness of the 20mm single pass cut is more indicative of performance.
Agreed, the cut of the Stanley blade is not perfect, but it’s twice the stated capacity of the machine and would be a moments work to grind perfect.
Yes the kerf width will vary according to power. My initial tests are showing the 60w kerf to be around .1mm down to the 1.6w module (not shown in the video) being about 0.06mm. I’ll get into this more in part 2, but that is one of the benefits of the variable power settings.
Thanks for watching,
James

When you moved the fan panel to the right side, was the cable long enough for the move or did you need to lenghten the cable. My Falcon2 Pro 40w does not seem to have a long enough cable to make that change.

[@BexhillWest]

Great question. The cable was long enough. There is an additional socket on the RHS frame in an identical position to the one on the LHS which I assume you are using. You can swap the wire over to there and it will work just fine.
Best,
James

@@BexhillWest I also have the 60w now for a few weeks. And like you I also wanted to swap the fan to the other side, because it was more convenient. But I noticed that when I did that, the laser could bump in to it. And on the original side it couldn't. This is why I kept it on the original side, and just bought a longer hose. But I never tested that while cutting... Have you had any collisions yet?

[@TimberSurf]

What is the kurf width for each of the three wattages

[@BexhillWest]

I’m testing that out now for Part 2.
There’s actually 4 different wattages 22,44 & 60w on the main unit, plus the bonus 1.6w laser module (not shown in this video.
At 60w the kerf is approximately 0.1mm and ranges down from there. Full details I. part 2.
Thanks for watching,
James
