I have just received a Lagun with an Acramatic 2100 control. The machine was verified working prior to making the 1300 mile trip. I have got the machine powered but when I turn it on I get nothing on...

@pontiacg5 Ok, I've got a compressor on the way.

I am looking at using the following filter(s). They have a 5 micron and 40 micron cartridge for it.

I can't seem to find a regulator suitable...

@pontiacg5 That was a very helpful post! Thank you for the pictures to supplement!

As for the actual compressor. I am thinking of purchasing something like this. It suits my needs for other...

As I understand (from reading other users posts), the more air assist the better when cutting plywood/mdf. The small 'compressor' provided is pretty limited in comparison to what I could get from...

I am looking to convert the air assist on my laser cutter (Gweike 150W) to shop air. I find I am mostly cutting acrylic and plywood/mdf. What should I be looking for in a compressor? Should I invest...

Thank you! I don't know how I overlooked that (well, I do... but).

One thing that is quite annoying with LaserCut 5.3 is that, when scaling, I must manually compute both the x and y values to maintain the same aspect ratio. Since my machine is set to metric and half...

I have about 100 aluminum name plates to mark up which are approximately business card size. I need to ensure that I get a repeatable marking on these parts (with respect to location). The red dot...

Thanks Dave.

Given it is not correct, how does everyone estimate the time it takes to cut or engrave something in order to provide a quote?

Does anybody else find that the time estimate LaserCut produces is off by a significant amount? For example I cut a part that LaserCut said would take 2:20 and it was nearly 60% higher. I don't see...

Nice! I am interested to hear the results of your O2 (and others) assisted cutting. Please post... you have at least one fan. :)

This was useful... thanks for sharing!

I am new to LaserCut as well and some of the button captions just didn't make sense. For example, I now know what 'clip box' does thanks to your screen shot....

I appreciate the feedback!

How does the air assist affect the heat? I assume it helps to carry some away from the work piece? Is the compressor that comes with the Chinese units adequate or am I...

Thanks! I have a clear understanding now. IF I wanted to do some engraving it would probably be wise to get the smaller focal length lens eh?

From all that I am reading and seeing it sounds like...

Can you elaborate on the lens? The beam is focused to the surface of the material correct? Beyond the surface that beam diverges. Isn't the angle of divergence inversely proportional to the focal...

Thanks! Everything that has been said here is quite logical and I see myself stretching to get into a higher power machine. I've certainly talked myself into 80W. Now, I am trying to figure out where...

Thank you all for your inputs. Much appreciated!



So how can I gauge the benefit of say 100W over 80W or 80W over 60W? Let's continue to use 1/2 acrylic as my benchmark. When you say it won't...

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a G.Weike LG900N machine primarily based on the positive posts that I read here as well as the G. Weike staff's willingness to help resolve any issues that...

I just set up EMC to control my mill. Everything appeared to be going well until I attempted to cut a profile with some arcs involved. Each pass of the contour results in a drift along my Y axis.
