1
00:00:00,539 --> 00:00:02,639
hey welcome back to geek toolkit I know
2
00:00:02,639 --> 00:00:04,560
it's been a while I moved I'll talk
3
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:06,060
about it in another video for this one
4
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:07,799
we're going to focus on this laser right
5
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:10,679
here this is a Wayne Lux jl7 it's a 10
6
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:12,960
watt diode laser we do another review
7
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,400
but we're also gonna have some fun with
8
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,900
this one we're going to talk about uh
9
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,720
basically making puzzles uh this is one
10
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,220
of the projects I did with this one I
11
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:21,779
also made a clock
12
00:00:21,779 --> 00:00:23,880
we'll talk a little bit about why clocks
13
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,260
and puzzles are really good test for
14
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:26,699
this and where it did well where it
15
00:00:26,699 --> 00:00:29,039
didn't uh we'll also talk a little bit
16
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,800
about the other materials here I've got
17
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,059
a purse
18
00:00:33,059 --> 00:00:34,620
this first year was made for my daughter
19
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:37,260
she wanted a Bluey purse so I put her
20
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:38,640
name on the back of it
21
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,379
but that was a nice leather test for
22
00:00:40,379 --> 00:00:42,120
this I tried to go through as many
23
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,040
materials as I could on this thing and
24
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,300
also just to come up with some different
25
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,160
projects we'll also talk about Metal
26
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,260
minerals are really uh popular one
27
00:00:49,260 --> 00:00:51,780
people like to tell me about how uh dial
28
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:53,520
lasers they think connect metal and they
29
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,800
can't so we'll talk a little bit about
30
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,660
why that is a good test and why it's
31
00:00:57,660 --> 00:00:59,879
special and also we'll talk about
32
00:00:59,879 --> 00:01:02,219
performance this piece right here this
33
00:01:02,219 --> 00:01:04,619
was a half inch we'll talk a bit about
34
00:01:04,619 --> 00:01:06,900
this uh there was something I realized
35
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,580
when when people do the testing on these
36
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:10,260
lasers that they don't say on video that
37
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:11,880
I'm gonna I'll talk about but I want to
38
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,460
get into first what is this laser what
39
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:16,500
makes it special what's different then
40
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:17,939
I'll talk about the Assembly of this
41
00:01:17,939 --> 00:01:19,439
laser how it went putting it together
42
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:20,580
I'll talk a little bit about the
43
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:21,900
instructions there were some interesting
44
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:23,640
things in there then we'll talk about
45
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,960
the performance I've got some really
46
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,939
cool things here uh we'll talk about
47
00:01:26,939 --> 00:01:28,380
these like performance grids and I'll
48
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:30,180
tell you about how it did as far as a 10
49
00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:32,759
watt laser and the depth of focus and
50
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:33,900
then finally we'll talk about these
51
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:36,299
projects and just basically just go
52
00:01:36,299 --> 00:01:38,220
through this so you know every laser
53
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:40,860
I've tested something different about it
54
00:01:40,860 --> 00:01:42,659
there was some feature or something that
55
00:01:42,659 --> 00:01:43,860
it did and I'm not just talking about
56
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:45,720
like end stops but there was something
57
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,579
about the behavior of the laser and what
58
00:01:47,579 --> 00:01:49,020
it made me realize is that these reviews
59
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:51,420
are really important because their each
60
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:52,979
laser has its own like almost
61
00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:54,659
personality or something it's really
62
00:01:54,659 --> 00:01:57,299
really good at and this laser is no
63
00:01:57,299 --> 00:01:59,340
different uh there's also things that
64
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:00,840
other lasers have that this one doesn't
65
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,140
we'll talk about that as well at the end
66
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:05,520
first thing I want to talk about is the
67
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,140
features of this laser what makes this
68
00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:09,660
laser unique from the other I don't know
69
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:10,920
I think I'm like five or six reviews
70
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:13,080
I've done in the dozens of reviews out
71
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,940
there well Wayne Lux has made a couple
72
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:16,319
of interesting decisions with their
73
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,360
laser one of them is they have what I
74
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,640
call a dual firmware support and what
75
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,160
that means is this laser has firmware
76
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,680
that it comes with that has features
77
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200
that are not in a gerbil or an open
78
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,660
source firmware one of them for instance
79
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:32,760
is this has Bluetooth built in and you
80
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,260
can actually connect to this laser with
81
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:36,720
your phone and without a PC at all you
82
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,000
can control this laser and actually take
83
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,099
images off your phone you can take them
84
00:02:41,099 --> 00:02:42,300
off the internet download them to your
85
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:43,800
phone you can take photos whatever you
86
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,900
want and you can actually etch them into
87
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,840
the laser now that's kind of nice you
88
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,860
don't have to worry about like getting
89
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:52,080
some kind of external uh third-party
90
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,640
software or learning that it basically
91
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,379
becomes like a phone app controlling the
92
00:02:55,379 --> 00:02:57,420
laser and I was able to take a very
93
00:02:57,420 --> 00:02:59,459
simple picture off the Internet very
94
00:02:59,459 --> 00:03:01,800
quickly uh I'm showing you here on this
95
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,319
camera just to show you near the quality
96
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,860
Point good the engraving was uh nice it
97
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:11,400
was very easy to use program and it it
98
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,540
worked
99
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:15,239
the thing for me personally is a lot of
100
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:18,000
the tools I use such as light burn or
101
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,860
the things that generate puzzles or
102
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:22,860
boxes and such are on a PC and so that's
103
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:24,900
where I personally would like to see
104
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:27,900
this used now here's the cool thing
105
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,200
the firmware that this has they support
106
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,620
a tool to flash it over to gerbil and
107
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:36,720
back so you can you can basically go
108
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,760
back and forth between the two
109
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,620
it's an interesting thing I haven't seen
110
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:43,319
any other lasers do that the benefit of
111
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:45,420
that is if you want to use open source
112
00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:46,860
tools or stuff you're familiar with or
113
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:49,319
very powerful tools you can but if you
114
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,360
want to use their software and go back
115
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,140
to
116
00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:53,340
um you know or being able to use it from
117
00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:55,019
a phone and stuff you can do that as
118
00:03:55,019 --> 00:03:57,420
well now there's one downside of this
119
00:03:57,420 --> 00:03:58,980
and I'll mention it again at the end but
120
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:01,080
the main thing is at the time that I'm
121
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,319
filming this you're not able to do any
122
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:06,420
of the rotary stuff now rotary is an
123
00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:08,400
add-on that you can do to actually etch
124
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,739
things like around things like like
125
00:04:09,739 --> 00:04:12,720
water bottles stuff like that you can't
126
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,599
do the rotary in light burn or anything
127
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:18,079
in the gerbil software so that is a
128
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,940
basically a very important downside to
129
00:04:20,940 --> 00:04:22,139
understand
130
00:04:22,139 --> 00:04:24,060
then do a firmware thing and the ability
131
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:25,560
to use the phone and Bluetooth though
132
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,500
very unique works very well but what I
133
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:30,000
want to talk about is for the rest of
134
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,259
this video I'll talk about the gerbil
135
00:04:31,259 --> 00:04:32,400
side of this I'm going to do a lot of
136
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,840
stuff in light burn I'll talk about that
137
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,639
as well the other thing I want to
138
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:37,380
mention is this is a 400 millimeter by
139
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:39,840
400 millimeter laser it's just over 15
140
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:43,020
inches quite a lot of Cutting Room uh
141
00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:45,240
very large a lot of lasers I looked at a
142
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,699
bit about that that area but it's good
143
00:04:47,699 --> 00:04:49,139
to see that this thing is staying in
144
00:04:49,139 --> 00:04:51,720
that spec it is a larger Laser Now Wayne
145
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,220
locks as a company has been making
146
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:54,900
lasers for a while they do have a lot of
147
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,000
what are called uh Galva lasers they do
148
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,800
stuff like that and those lasers
149
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,360
typically have a smaller area so it's
150
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,000
cool to see this size of a laser another
151
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,400
thing about this is it does support an
152
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,560
SD card you can use the phone to do that
153
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,560
it does not have an LCD panel however it
154
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,900
also does not have an air assist so
155
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:14,639
those are two things that this does not
156
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:16,919
come with did not have it didn't come
157
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:18,780
with the rotary though I believe like I
158
00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:20,040
said there is a rotary attachment you
159
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,660
can get for it
160
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,340
um but those are just some things that
161
00:05:23,340 --> 00:05:25,320
it was lacking in the way it came for me
162
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,900
I do like the LCD panels for doing
163
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:30,120
things with offline in the case of this
164
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,380
laser what you would do if you want to
165
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:33,900
do offline uh cutting is you'd plug in
166
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,120
the SD card you'd keep their firmer on
167
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,380
there and you would use your phone to
168
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:39,120
control it I want to talk about assembly
169
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,740
now there's not much here there's three
170
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:43,680
screws on each of these four corners and
171
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,120
then there's a couple of screws here for
172
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,340
your Z on either side you've got one two
173
00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:50,400
here and one two here those screws once
174
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,960
that's together the entire laser is
175
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240
assembled there's nothing else really to
176
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,940
it the laser part here is adjustable
177
00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:59,520
with this so not only is the assembly
178
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,680
that simple but basically that just
179
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,660
locks in and then when you've got your
180
00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:05,580
height when you're dialing it in
181
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:09,590
of course I can't do this on camera
182
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,529
huh
183
00:06:12,539 --> 00:06:14,880
so this here you unscrew it and this
184
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,320
comes out
185
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,780
in and you can tighten it up so it's
186
00:06:18,780 --> 00:06:20,639
very easy to not only assemble but
187
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:22,139
that's also how you focus the lasers
188
00:06:22,139 --> 00:06:23,460
with this here
189
00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:25,500
the other thing about this laser it's
190
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,139
important compared to other lasers uh
191
00:06:28,139 --> 00:06:30,060
the belts are actually built into these
192
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:31,620
sides and you don't have to assemble
193
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:33,539
them yourself they also have a very
194
00:06:33,539 --> 00:06:35,940
easily uh adjustments on here for
195
00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:37,800
adjusting the belt tightness that's
196
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,240
important because I have to use the
197
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,380
laser for a while you're going to want
198
00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:42,720
to adjust it it's nice to have to not to
199
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,940
not have to disassemble the entire belt
200
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:47,220
you simply adjust it here and the laser
201
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:49,080
is all dialed in one other thing I want
202
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,759
to talk about for assembly and just kind
203
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:52,800
of the first run of this laser is the
204
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,440
instruction book is very very well done
205
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,419
the thing about the instructions on this
206
00:06:57,419 --> 00:06:59,220
is it actually goes through not only the
207
00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:01,080
Assembly of the laser but it goes
208
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,720
through how to use the firmware flashing
209
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,819
back and forth and then it even takes it
210
00:07:05,819 --> 00:07:07,680
further and says how to set it up in
211
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,319
light burn and Laser gerbal and software
212
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,479
like that I thought that was really cool
213
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:15,360
to have them go all those extra steps to
214
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,819
explain how to set up that software that
215
00:07:17,819 --> 00:07:19,560
just makes it much easier to use for
216
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,720
beginners and one of the things I'm
217
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,039
always talking about on these videos is
218
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:25,020
like who are the these lasers for is
219
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:26,759
this an advanced laser a beginner laser
220
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:28,979
this laser is interesting with the 10
221
00:07:28,979 --> 00:07:31,800
watts of power the two five watt uh
222
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,800
diodes on here it has limit switches
223
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,300
which I've talked about in the past but
224
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,160
if you don't know a limited switch means
225
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,900
that when this moves over you hear that
226
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:41,099
click
227
00:07:41,099 --> 00:07:43,199
that is a switch that tells the laser
228
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:44,759
it's moved all the way over on the
229
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:46,979
x-axis and it has another one here on
230
00:07:46,979 --> 00:07:50,160
the Y so when it comes down here
231
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,380
you hear that click there now the laser
232
00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:54,840
knows where zero zero is that's called
233
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,940
the limit switch that is great for both
234
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:59,400
repeatability for advanced users and for
235
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,380
beginners to make sure that the laser
236
00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:02,639
you don't have to worry about it going
237
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:05,340
off the rails and grinding or damaging
238
00:08:05,340 --> 00:08:07,800
itself it will always stay and know
239
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,479
where it's at
240
00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:11,280
um it's also one of the things I'll talk
241
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,539
about when I get to puzzles I'll talk
242
00:08:12,539 --> 00:08:14,639
about why that repeatability is so
243
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:16,259
important I want to talk about
244
00:08:16,259 --> 00:08:18,120
performance next now performance wise
245
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,319
we're going to talk about it with the
246
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:21,240
pure numbers of what it does for cuts
247
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,560
and then we're going to talk about how
248
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,180
it did on these projects here and I'll
249
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:25,259
start going through all of these
250
00:08:25,259 --> 00:08:28,500
projects this right here is basically a
251
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:31,080
grid for cut cutting speeds here's
252
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,599
another one here this is an eighth inch
253
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:35,760
grid and this is a quarter inch grid now
254
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,520
the thing about these grids here is on
255
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,580
this one here on one pass for an eighth
256
00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:43,800
inch you can see I went up to 327
257
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,899
millimeters per minute and was able to
258
00:08:45,899 --> 00:08:47,940
cut all the way through on a single pass
259
00:08:47,940 --> 00:08:50,640
with eight inch that means now eighth is
260
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,560
very common to do a lot of projects in
261
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:54,120
and that means they can do them very
262
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,880
very quickly and reliably know I'm going
263
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,320
to make it all the way through that is
264
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,480
very important now quarter inch
265
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,160
sometimes the laser won't even make it
266
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,420
through a quarter inch or I don't have
267
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:05,279
to do a bunch of passes but at 100
268
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:06,959
millimeters per minute this thing went
269
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:09,779
through a quarter inch reliably now the
270
00:09:09,779 --> 00:09:11,519
intro video that I started with this
271
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,500
geek toolkit this is also a quarter inch
272
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:16,140
and it went through at 150 millimeters
273
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:18,480
now I want to talk about let me talk
274
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,680
about half inch and I'll tell you about
275
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:22,019
why this keep toolkit was so important
276
00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:25,260
this is a half inch it cut through on
277
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:28,800
one pass in two directions I'm sorry in
278
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,820
two lines
279
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:31,740
the horizontal lines it went through in
280
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:34,200
one pass on a quarter inch the vertical
281
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,240
lines took four passes okay now that was
282
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,100
very now this is Basswood this is one of
283
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:42,660
the softer Woods recommended for lasers
284
00:09:42,660 --> 00:09:45,420
but that is very very important and I'm
285
00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:47,040
going to tell you something about this
286
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,800
uh discovery that you'll know you'll
287
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,660
you'll once you know this you'll you'll
288
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:53,399
every other laser review you ever look
289
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:55,500
at you'll notice something about what
290
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,060
they say in their material and the
291
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:59,160
reviews that they don't mention
292
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,060
lasers I'm sorry dial lasers have a
293
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:06,600
non-square uh basically focal point and
294
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,399
what that means is they're typically
295
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:10,620
performed differently horizontally
296
00:10:10,620 --> 00:10:12,899
versus vertically so the two directions
297
00:10:12,899 --> 00:10:14,640
matter
298
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,980
this one horizontally went all the way
299
00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:19,860
through a half inch in one pass but when
300
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:22,980
it went vertical it was not as powerful
301
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:25,019
now the reason I say this is you'll see
302
00:10:25,019 --> 00:10:27,360
demos on videos on other channels where
303
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,860
they'll show a laser go through a half
304
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:30,540
inch on one pass and they'll be like it
305
00:10:30,540 --> 00:10:32,279
cuts through you know whatever it is 12
306
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:33,920
millimeters or whatever in one pass
307
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,740
that's not true and it's useless info
308
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:39,839
that's only true if you're gonna use it
309
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:43,140
like a freaking circular saw the actual
310
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:46,019
reliability of going through a piece of
311
00:10:46,019 --> 00:10:49,980
wood or piece of material matters on a
312
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:52,200
curve or on both directions
313
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,640
um again unless you're using like Sergio
314
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,579
saw that's why this geek toolkit was
315
00:10:56,579 --> 00:10:59,160
such an important test this is quarter
316
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,860
inch in one pass but you can see it went
317
00:11:01,860 --> 00:11:03,959
through all sorts of different uh
318
00:11:03,959 --> 00:11:06,420
directions and so on to get through you
319
00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:09,120
know the letters are all different uh uh
320
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,500
directions the K is a different
321
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,600
direction the G is a curve and it went
322
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,480
through on One path very very important
323
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,519
to know that
324
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:19,860
um now I'm gonna leave that I'm going to
325
00:11:19,860 --> 00:11:21,360
take that I'm gonna lead into puzzles
326
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,540
and why I love puzzles now puzzles have
327
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:26,660
a whole bunch of different directions
328
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:28,620
and the thing I learned about making
329
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,600
puzzles on a laser is if you don't go
330
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,640
through in one pass it gets messed up
331
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,279
really really badly I'll show you an
332
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,800
example here this is a puzzle where I
333
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,660
took a piece of wood I glued a piece of
334
00:11:39,660 --> 00:11:42,480
paper onto it and then I cut it and the
335
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,920
thing about this piece here and I'll
336
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,660
make sure it goes on this laser here is
337
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:47,940
you can actually see that when the piece
338
00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:50,399
fell the laser kept going and it cut
339
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:53,220
another puzzle piece out of that that
340
00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:54,720
puzzle that was basically on the floor
341
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,040
of the laser
342
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,200
that basically ruins the puzzle you end
343
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,940
up with a second puzzle engraved into it
344
00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:02,220
you have to be able to cut a puzzle in
345
00:12:02,220 --> 00:12:03,720
one pass or you have to use what's
346
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,100
called like a needle board or something
347
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,180
related
348
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:07,980
so
349
00:12:07,980 --> 00:12:11,360
that count takes me to this puzzle here
350
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,040
now a little background of this puzzle
351
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,220
I'm a huge Commodore 64 fan and chronus
352
00:12:17,220 --> 00:12:18,839
Rift and Legacy of the Ancients were two
353
00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:20,880
of my favorite games and when I realized
354
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,100
they can make a puzzle as a demo project
355
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:24,360
I wanted to come up with something
356
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,380
unique
357
00:12:25,380 --> 00:12:27,180
now the thing is if you take the cross
358
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:28,860
Rift box art that you find on the
359
00:12:28,860 --> 00:12:30,600
internet and you scale it up to make a
360
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,480
puzzle out of it it looks horrible you
361
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,279
really want a very sharp image for a
362
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:37,260
puzzle so I actually ran this through
363
00:12:37,260 --> 00:12:40,019
some AI uh you ran it through gigapixel
364
00:12:40,019 --> 00:12:42,839
from topaz Labs made a nicer image out
365
00:12:42,839 --> 00:12:45,839
of it and then was able to take that and
366
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:49,680
print it out now I printed it this is my
367
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:51,060
legacy of the Ancients one of my test
368
00:12:51,060 --> 00:12:52,380
prints here I printed it out in color
369
00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:55,560
and then what I would do is I would cut
370
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,600
that out as a puzzle I would basically
371
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,480
uh glue this to a piece of wood overlay
372
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,920
a puzzle at the same size until the
373
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,380
laser would go through the laser I
374
00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:06,839
needed to cut in one pass I needed to be
375
00:13:06,839 --> 00:13:08,639
able to cut all of the curves I needed
376
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,760
to cut accurately and not Char the paper
377
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,399
and what you can see here is I have this
378
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:16,440
beautiful chronus Rift puzzle
379
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,360
which I'm so giddy about right like I
380
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,459
would never be able to go buy this I you
381
00:13:20,459 --> 00:13:22,260
know this isn't something where epics is
382
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:24,120
going to come back out and say yes let's
383
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,519
go make an MX2 based version of piranhas
384
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:29,100
Rift but eighth inch wood and it cut
385
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:30,600
through beautifully now I'll do a
386
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,000
separate uh video on on the details of
387
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,040
how I did this the software and all but
388
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,200
it's a very very powerful I think demo
389
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,300
of showing the reliability of being able
390
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:40,980
to go through eighth inch wood or even
391
00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:43,440
quarter inch I did make a quarter inch
392
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,540
puzzle and it did go through in one pass
393
00:13:45,540 --> 00:13:47,880
these are little pieces I learned a lot
394
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,139
about this right these are way too
395
00:13:49,139 --> 00:13:50,820
little and also there's a reason that
396
00:13:50,820 --> 00:13:53,459
puzzles are not a quarter inch thick
397
00:13:53,459 --> 00:13:55,800
um this was incredibly hard to to put
398
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,779
together the other thing I tried to do
399
00:13:57,779 --> 00:13:59,519
here is I tried to do a wood engraving
400
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,100
and then do a puzzle uh which removes of
401
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:03,480
course all the color it makes it you
402
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,820
know almost grayscale and I realize
403
00:14:05,820 --> 00:14:07,380
there's a bit of an art making puzzles
404
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:09,899
you really need the Right image so that
405
00:14:09,899 --> 00:14:11,820
failed I'll talk again about about that
406
00:14:11,820 --> 00:14:14,040
more later but I was able to make a
407
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,660
puzzle with this and that was one of my
408
00:14:15,660 --> 00:14:17,579
projects I did I was excited about for
409
00:14:17,579 --> 00:14:19,560
this video and this laser did
410
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,880
wonderfully for I look forward to making
411
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,980
many more puzzles and I'll share those
412
00:14:22,980 --> 00:14:23,820
later
413
00:14:23,820 --> 00:14:26,940
now besides puzzles I did do leather
414
00:14:26,940 --> 00:14:28,920
so let's talk about leather uh leather
415
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,839
this thing goes very very fast and it
416
00:14:30,839 --> 00:14:33,060
has a very very tight beam leather is a
417
00:14:33,060 --> 00:14:36,060
great test for seeing how small the uh
418
00:14:36,060 --> 00:14:37,980
basically the engraving can be and how
419
00:14:37,980 --> 00:14:40,019
accurate and I'm going to hold this up
420
00:14:40,019 --> 00:14:42,120
to this overhead camera here uh we did
421
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,920
some fun geeky logos and then of course
422
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,500
the geek toolkit uh is a filled in
423
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:48,060
letters which is a different than like
424
00:14:48,060 --> 00:14:50,399
this Serenity where it's a line draw but
425
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:51,959
you can see that this came out very nice
426
00:14:51,959 --> 00:14:52,860
and clear
427
00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:54,899
even on this leather and it came out
428
00:14:54,899 --> 00:14:57,240
nice and dark
429
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,579
now moving over to here my daughter
430
00:14:59,579 --> 00:15:02,639
wanted a Bluey purse so I went out and
431
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,320
got an inexpensive purse now this was
432
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,019
harder right because this is curved so
433
00:15:07,019 --> 00:15:08,639
you're trying to focus on here you're
434
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:10,139
trying to like basically hit this but
435
00:15:10,139 --> 00:15:11,399
when you put it under the laser here
436
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:13,380
it's a big curve so I basically had
437
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:14,820
something under it tried to flatten it
438
00:15:14,820 --> 00:15:16,740
out and I got a pretty good cut out of
439
00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:18,839
it or a pretty good engraving I should
440
00:15:18,839 --> 00:15:21,120
say and then on the other side I did her
441
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,560
name now this was a little bit harder
442
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,720
because you're removing material across
443
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,899
here and let's see so what you see there
444
00:15:27,899 --> 00:15:30,779
is it came out really good the the the a
445
00:15:30,779 --> 00:15:32,519
through the well a through the a
446
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,699
basically came out clean but the J I had
447
00:15:35,699 --> 00:15:36,839
a little bit of problem with that was
448
00:15:36,839 --> 00:15:38,600
where I was still dialing in the the the
449
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,399
depth and I went a bit deeper and then I
450
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,740
had to stop it and back off that being
451
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:46,079
said if I had a uh if I was gonna make a
452
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:48,180
bunch of these or if I was doing a
453
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:50,100
project I would probably make like get a
454
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,440
sacrificial purse or cut on some area
455
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,899
where I could test engrave that wouldn't
456
00:15:54,899 --> 00:15:57,180
be visible this came out great I really
457
00:15:57,180 --> 00:15:58,940
really really excited about this project
458
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:01,500
my daughter loves this purse so that was
459
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:02,699
a lot of fun
460
00:16:02,699 --> 00:16:04,560
and now she has a bully purse that's
461
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,389
like an adult purse so that's cool
462
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:09,779
the final project I want to talk about
463
00:16:09,779 --> 00:16:12,600
is this acrylic clock uh now this right
464
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,000
here this is a good test for acrylic so
465
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,220
we've done leather we've done wood uh
466
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:18,300
actually I'll talk about Metal after
467
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:20,699
this as well but for the acrylic the
468
00:16:20,699 --> 00:16:22,260
nice thing is you get a really good test
469
00:16:22,260 --> 00:16:26,279
of how does it perform with uh basically
470
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:28,500
the heat of it hitting the acrylic now
471
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,199
it's a very difficult thing to dial in I
472
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,300
thought I had it and all of this this
473
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:35,760
came out exactly as I wanted except for
474
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,320
the N let's see we're going to move this
475
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:42,360
here the n is a little bit uh basically
476
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,339
heated it basically melted a little bit
477
00:16:44,339 --> 00:16:45,959
on the end so I'll show the back of it
478
00:16:45,959 --> 00:16:48,120
which is where where you can really see
479
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,339
it so that was more of a dialing and
480
00:16:50,339 --> 00:16:52,019
thing as far as like cutting acrylic
481
00:16:52,019 --> 00:16:54,600
this is a fairly intricate piece this is
482
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,740
a clock that's going to go in my bedroom
483
00:16:55,740 --> 00:16:58,680
I have a black and and red uh black
484
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,240
white red bedroom and I wanted something
485
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,360
to match that that theme and this came
486
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,980
out really well now if you want to know
487
00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:06,660
how to build these acrylic clocks how I
488
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:08,100
put this together I have a video I'll
489
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:10,679
link to on how to do these but I like to
490
00:17:10,679 --> 00:17:12,780
show like you know not just this stuff
491
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:15,480
right of how fast it cuts but basically
492
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,980
the projects you can do with these
493
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:20,339
lasers and this one was has been fun ah
494
00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:22,919
metal so the other thing about these
495
00:17:22,919 --> 00:17:24,480
lasers
496
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,880
is they come with these pens
497
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,860
and they used to always ask why did they
498
00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:30,720
come with a marker well they go in the
499
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,360
marker because that's how you mark metal
500
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:36,240
now again diode lasers cannot engrave
501
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,640
metal the the word engraved implies that
502
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,500
it's actually cutting or removing metal
503
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:43,140
material so when I say can't engrave it
504
00:17:43,140 --> 00:17:46,080
means you can't remove the material that
505
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,960
being said you can mark it okay so what
506
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,480
I've done here is I took the marker and
507
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,340
you basically use scribble all over the
508
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:55,320
metal and I'll just do that real quick
509
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,419
just to show you here
510
00:17:57,419 --> 00:17:59,039
and you don't have to it doesn't have to
511
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:01,260
be fully black it or anything or it just
512
00:18:01,260 --> 00:18:04,200
has a dark enough to see so it's you
513
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,360
know that's what that looks like there
514
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,220
and then you come across with the laser
515
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:10,140
and you laser whatever you want into
516
00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:11,520
this
517
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,100
and then when you're done with that you
518
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:15,480
just the you know there's a little
519
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,059
eraser here you just erase it
520
00:18:18,059 --> 00:18:20,460
and whatever you hit with the laser will
521
00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:22,620
be permanently there so you can see this
522
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:24,360
was for my cat whiskers which is funny
523
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,299
because it's a dog bone and then when I
524
00:18:27,299 --> 00:18:28,919
try to remove that it's there it's
525
00:18:28,919 --> 00:18:30,900
permanently on there so you can mark
526
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:32,820
metal with this there's other uh
527
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:34,740
chemicals and stuff that you can put on
528
00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:36,330
metal to Market as well
529
00:18:36,330 --> 00:18:37,940
[Applause]
530
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:40,020
okay so the next thing I want to talk
531
00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:41,400
about is some notes of what I learned
532
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,780
about this laser if you have one of
533
00:18:42,780 --> 00:18:44,640
these and you want to use it one of the
534
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,200
things is make sure if you're cutting
535
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,360
you lift your material up on the back of
536
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,860
this here you can see the charring
537
00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:51,480
because what it looks like if the
538
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,640
material is on the uh basically on your
539
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,980
metal plate if you lift it up a bit and
540
00:18:55,980 --> 00:18:57,419
you cut through you'll get a much much
541
00:18:57,419 --> 00:19:00,840
cleaner uh look so on the back here you
542
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,120
can see where it's cleaned here and then
543
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:04,980
here you can see this one is actually
544
00:19:04,980 --> 00:19:07,140
dark you get this like almost like smoke
545
00:19:07,140 --> 00:19:08,580
that ends up into the wood or something
546
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:10,620
something that stains it so basically
547
00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:12,900
lifting it off here you can get a nice
548
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:14,880
clean cut so that's one of the tips this
549
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,100
is pretty with any dialed laser but I
550
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:18,539
learned this uh really well with this
551
00:19:18,539 --> 00:19:20,460
one here
552
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:22,799
another thing with 10 watt lasers is a
553
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:24,480
lot of the laser speeds that you've seen
554
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,120
out there especially this one are uh not
555
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:28,320
very relevant you're going to want to
556
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,059
come up with your own speeds and that's
557
00:19:30,059 --> 00:19:32,280
where these come in really handy the
558
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,419
other thing is keep in mind that
559
00:19:33,419 --> 00:19:34,799
different Woods you really want to do
560
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:36,179
this for each wood this one right here
561
00:19:36,179 --> 00:19:40,440
is a Basswood but for the same speeds
562
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,020
and so on for this what uh for let's say
563
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:45,059
plywood which has glues in it it's gonna
564
00:19:45,059 --> 00:19:47,280
be totally different so you know these
565
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,440
are really popular uh to generate and
566
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,760
I'll talk about that in a video I'll
567
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,080
talk about basically how I Benchmark
568
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,700
fees and how I generate those in a video
569
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:55,860
here soon
570
00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:57,480
okay so what did I think about this
571
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,980
laser is conclusion well we'll talk
572
00:19:58,980 --> 00:20:01,140
about the good points this laser worked
573
00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:02,460
right out of the box there was no
574
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:04,620
problems I had no weird issues with this
575
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:05,820
laser and I actually had a
576
00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:07,679
pre-production unit there was some
577
00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:09,360
assembly quirks about it but I was able
578
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,460
to get through those and I verified with
579
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:12,900
the manufacturer that those were all
580
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:15,240
documented properly I basically had the
581
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,100
final documentation but not quite the
582
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:19,620
final Hardware so even with that I was
583
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:20,940
able to put this thing together and get
584
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:23,760
it up and running very very quickly the
585
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,320
uh everything about it worked their
586
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,820
software their Bluetooth thing worked
587
00:20:26,820 --> 00:20:29,460
the first time for me so I basically was
588
00:20:29,460 --> 00:20:30,600
really impressed with just a
589
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,760
reliabilities laser the other thing was
590
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,500
the consistency of going through things
591
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:36,120
when I was cutting through wood I got
592
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:39,000
very confident on my settings and I was
593
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,100
very reliably going through things which
594
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,200
was really really nice
595
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,940
the other thing was the power this was
596
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:47,400
the first time I saw anything cut a half
597
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,900
inch piece of wood now the reason this
598
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:51,360
is important is there's a lot of lasers
599
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:52,919
that say they're 10 watts there's just a
600
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:54,179
ton of them out there I've turned down
601
00:20:54,179 --> 00:20:56,460
like five or six reviews on them they
602
00:20:56,460 --> 00:20:58,740
didn't offer anything different
603
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:01,140
but the reason it's important to look at
604
00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:03,059
like YouTube reviews these lasers is
605
00:21:03,059 --> 00:21:05,760
things like the focal length matters so
606
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,100
much more than anything else and the way
607
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,140
this thing is focused to have that long
608
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:11,880
Focus means it can cut through this
609
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,500
thick of wood I didn't have to like
610
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,360
lower it and re-cut or do a bunch of
611
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,460
passes and stuff like it was able to get
612
00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:19,020
through this full thing in the four
613
00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:22,320
passes reliably and that's that's a half
614
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,059
inch piece of wood um that's just
615
00:21:24,059 --> 00:21:26,100
amazing that's that's absolutely amazing
616
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:27,900
to have that kind of reliability and
617
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:29,760
that's what inspired me to try the
618
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,740
puzzles and to be able to cut through
619
00:21:31,740 --> 00:21:33,360
the puzzles in one pass without burning
620
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:35,159
the paper the way this did was really
621
00:21:35,159 --> 00:21:36,659
really nice
622
00:21:36,659 --> 00:21:38,700
now it's not all roses of course there's
623
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:39,960
going to be some things this laser
624
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,299
doesn't have or things I wish it had and
625
00:21:42,299 --> 00:21:44,340
so on the number one thing is it does
626
00:21:44,340 --> 00:21:46,260
not have an air assist now this is the
627
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:49,320
jl7 they do have a laser with an air
628
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,240
assist they I will see if I can get a
629
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,640
hold of that one I'm very excited to try
630
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,559
and air assist with a 10 watt laser I
631
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:57,900
think that's a killer combo it's really
632
00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:00,720
ironic to be able to uh go through such
633
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,400
thick wood but without an air assist
634
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,020
you're going to get this charring so you
635
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:06,000
look at this piece here see it's all
636
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,159
black right I believe with an air assist
637
00:22:08,159 --> 00:22:10,440
I'll get a better cleaner cut I also
638
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,900
think I can go even faster than I was
639
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:14,400
going here because it would actually be
640
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,080
blowing the ash away I would have to
641
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,600
re-cut so for these uh things where I
642
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,460
have to go through multiple passes to go
643
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:22,440
deeper I think an air assist would be
644
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,840
amazing this just doesn't have it and
645
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,400
the thing about these lasers is I don't
646
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,900
know if you can add it without like
647
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:29,880
cutting through the metal and hacking it
648
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,760
and that's that's not ideal the other
649
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,320
two things about this is it doesn't have
650
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,659
an LCD now there is an LCD Port I'll
651
00:22:36,659 --> 00:22:38,280
have to ask the manufacturer if that's
652
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,900
like an available add-on or something if
653
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:41,400
they sell it I've seen some of these
654
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,200
that have an LCD port and the LCD wasn't
655
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,179
available so I'll have to check but just
656
00:22:45,179 --> 00:22:47,460
not coming with an LCD if you're uh
657
00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:49,020
really want to do a lot of stuff off an
658
00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:52,500
SD card LCDs are really really nice
659
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,559
the other thing is the again at the time
660
00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:58,260
of filming and I'll edit the description
661
00:22:58,260 --> 00:23:00,419
when they update this the firmware
662
00:23:00,419 --> 00:23:04,740
cannot do gerbil plus uh these the
663
00:23:04,740 --> 00:23:06,960
rotary you cannot do the rotary with the
664
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,640
Gerber firmware you have to use their
665
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,440
proprietary firmware which limits you to
666
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,900
their software uh which in my opinion is
667
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:14,640
just not going to be as powerful as a
668
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,280
full uh software suite like laser gerbil
669
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,640
or light burn so that you know that to
670
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,039
me is a ding but they if they support
671
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:24,720
this if they update the firmware if they
672
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,039
get that in there I'll put that in the
673
00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:28,799
comments below and I think that would be
674
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:30,000
really cool
675
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,860
overall I'm very very impressed with
676
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:33,419
Wayne locks they've been very responsive
677
00:23:33,419 --> 00:23:34,679
to my emails they've been very
678
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:37,020
responsive to my support
679
00:23:37,020 --> 00:23:38,640
um this thing again worked out of the
680
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,200
box which I can't say for a relays
681
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,799
forever Feud so that is excellent I'm
682
00:23:43,799 --> 00:23:45,659
really really excited about the puzzle
683
00:23:45,659 --> 00:23:47,580
creation ability I have now so I'll do
684
00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:50,280
that in a future video but for now I
685
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,960
just want to say uh thanks for watching
686
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,280
I hope you learned some stuff got
687
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,200
inspired saw some cool things you can
688
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,140
build with these these uh lasers uh
689
00:23:58,140 --> 00:24:00,120
maybe if you make a clock let me know I
690
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,280
I really enjoy being able to make my own
691
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,500
clocks and there's so many designs and
692
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:05,940
patterns I'm looking forward to actually
693
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:08,580
getting into making my own of those and
694
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:10,559
uh my daughter loves her purse so this
695
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:12,900
has been a lot of fun projects very
696
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:15,780
geeky and um until next time I'm Joe
697
00:24:15,780 --> 00:24:19,400
Farrell geek toolkit thank you50250
