    thank you for this review. most of the new reviews focus on the Mk2 unfortunately and the genmitsu l8 seems to have been neglected. i hope to see more videos of this from you soon. i would like to suggest you test how fine it can engrave or how much detail it can do, since its fixed at 20 watts and not able to switch from 10 to 20 unlike some other brands. though i am happy to find out that it is more powerful than other 20 watt engravers, it would be good to know how it fares with fine engraving.

      I definitely plan on more videos with the L8. I will try to come up with an idea to show some fine detail engraving.

    one other video i would suggest is how the L8 is in maintenance, such as how easy is it to clean the lenses. also, one constant nitpick i see from the few who reviewed the L8 is the underpowered fan. is it possible to safely swap it with a better one and if so, would it be feasible for you to make a video about it? thank you and i hope for more success for you in your videos!

      Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into those things and let you know. I did see a couple of other videos mentioning the fan power of the L8, but I honestly don't think it is under powered. Seems to be pretty good so far. Even if it were underpowered, I would use an inline fan or fume extractor/purifier to boost it.

    Great video,well done. Question what is the dimensions of the enclosure? Also is that laser protect plastic cover?

    • @windsorwoodcraft
      @windsorwoodcraft  3 місяці тому

      Thanks. These are the dimensions copied from the Sainsmart website, 26.85 x 24.41 x 13.50in. These are the dimensions of the enclosure only, the exhaust port and the cords/switches on the front add about another 5 or 6 inches to the overall depth of the workbench space needed for operation of the machine. The orange acrylic enclosure is laser safe.

    Hi - true Novis here - just starting to look at a laser purchase. I noticed that at 8:16 in your video, when you put up the riser legs - it appears that most of that area around the risers is totally open - if that area is open, then it would no longer be a fully enclosed laser - right? How do you exhaust all the smoke and fumes when the risers are up?

    • @windsorwoodcraft
      @windsorwoodcraft  4 місяці тому

      It is open all around when using the risers but I have not had any issues with smoke or fumes. Than works pretty good even with the gap at the bottom.

    I'm fighting a problem with any cut that take over 5 min the flame sensor goes off and you can't restart frome the stoped position. To me the sesor is too sensitive

    • @butterflyknives6674
      @butterflyknives6674 5 місяців тому

      That, tighten the belt, clean the rails, lense and cone if that doesn't work.

    • @butterflyknives6674
      @butterflyknives6674 5 місяців тому

      It gets rid of comments with links. So go to control panel, hardware and devices. Advanced settings. USB device settings. Disable both.

    • @windsorwoodcraft
      @windsorwoodcraft  5 місяців тому

      I haven't tried a real long project yet, time wise. But I did notice that when the flame detection goes off, you have to turn off the machine or use the emergency stop and then restart from the beginning. I'm not sure if there is another way around that, but I'll check into it.

      And if you're using lightburn, it'll say alarm 3. Missed steps. That's how you'll know It's your USB settings.

    What software is best for this model?

    • @windsorwoodcraft
      @windsorwoodcraft  22 дні тому

      Lightburn is probably the best choice for this machine.

    Is possivel cut 9 mm marbel stone?

    • @windsorwoodcraft
      @windsorwoodcraft  3 місяці тому

      It will engrave marble but it would not be able to cut through marble.

    Hello I ordered the 40 watt version, upon inspection I noticed I was not able to distinguish between the 40 watt version from what I see online. Is there a way to confirm that my module is 40 Watts? Thanks in advance

    • @windsorwoodcraft
      @windsorwoodcraft  2 місяці тому +1

      There should be a label on the back of the machine with the laser information on it.
