I realize this post is a couple of years old, but was hoping someone could provide some assistance. I have a 6040 with the same controller and break out box pictured and recently ordered the AXBB-E...

Check under the "Output" tab to make sure that you have the "Enable rotate engrave" unchecked for normal engraving.

Personally, I would opt for the mororizeed up down table and the red dot pointer. They are very handy. My machine has autofocus but I never use it. It's extremely easy to set the focus manually...

Thanks Nolan, I appreciate the response. The good news is that my Nova 35 should be delivered this Friday :)

I went with the Nova 35 over the Mars 90, so didn't have the budget left for the...

I would like to experiment with a rotary attachment on the Nova 35, but $450-$500 for the rotary is more than I'm comfortable with spending for one at the moment. Does anyone know if the less...

No offense intended, but there wasn't anything that helped me understand the differences.


Does anyone else here with knowledge of G. Weike machines have anything to offer?

After a bit of a break, I'm back to searching for a laser for hobby use only which will be used to engrave wood, acrylic, glass, and marble as well as cutting acrylic and wood. I've decided to...

I believe that the CW-5000 and CW-5200 are compressor based chillers with the difference between the two being a more powerful compressor and more refrigerant used in the CW-5200.

Do you have a...

Thanks for the reply Bigbird! I had initially checked with the three mentioned (Redsail, GWeike, Shenhui) because they were the ones I saw mentioned here.

I just checked the King Rabbit...

If the box is to be used as an aquarium, good advice to check with an aquarium store to be sure whatever used doesn't harm the fish.

My understanding is that acrylic aquariums are made using an...

I haven't attempted to make a waterproof acrylic box, but if I did, I think I would try cyanoacrylate glue (AKA "Superglue", which is a brand of cyanoacrylate.)

Here is what I asked for, which was essentially the same request that I sent to the other manufacturers:

Argus 5070 equipped with Reci S2 80/100W tube, motorized table, autofocus, red dot pointer,...

Thanks Storen. I got the quote back from Argus on the 100W 5070. Their price was R 159,000. It looks like that converts to $9,822.97, so it's out of my price range.

The quotes I requested from...

Anyone else have input?

Thanks!

I don't have quotes from Argus or SHG (had not heard them mentioned before), but of the ones I mentioned, it sounds like GWeike is better than Redsail and Shenhui, based on:

GWeike mainly uses...

After considering the purchase of a laser engraver from a US based reseller, importing directly from China, and even buying on EBay, I believe that I have decided to import a machine from China. ...

Thanks Bigbird and Sixstringlz. It looks like they are out of stock on the CW5200 and it would have to be ordered from China. They do have the 1650 in stock, so I'll probably go with that one. The...

Someone mentioned Lightobjective in California as a source for laser components, so I was checking out their offerings. I noticed that in addition to the CW5200 chiller (1400W) they also have their...

Thanks Bigbird and fixtureman. Appreciate the advice!

Thanks Fixtureman. Unfortunately, I'm not close to either RabbitUSA or Automation Technologies. I've checked them out on the web and did notice that Automation Technologies were priced lower.

Thanks Bigbird, I appreciate the response. I think you are right, a 24X16 machine would do everything that I need. Is the CW3000 chiller adequate for an 80W unit, or should I consider the CW5000?

I've been thinking about getting a CO2 laser for hobby use and perhaps some small business use later. After a lot of reading, I thought that I knew what I wanted, but the more I read, the less...
