    Re: Heat Stress Fractures in Acrylic

    I do not use the honeycomb table because of the tiny marks left by the grid. I have made a large number of acrylic standoffs with offcuts. 25mm square base with a about 30 x 4.5mm strips set into a...

    Re: GCC Laserpro L-30

    Try cutting at 1% speed, 100% power. I have a 60 watt Spirit and cut 3mm acrylic at 1.2% speed, 100% power. I can't remember the setting I used on my 25Watt GCC Mercury.

    Re: Trying to engrave aluminum legend plate

    I wasn't aware that you could use Cermark on aluminium .If so, I would say that it would need much more power than 30 watts. The fact that the black mark that you achieved comes off easily is a good...

    Re: Thoughts on GCC Spirit GSL laser.

    The Spirits have RF (Synrads) lasers in them as do most of their models. Some of the newer ones have glass tubes. Can't recall the model numbers. The shop I work part time in has a GCC Mercury 25w...

    Re: Thoughts on GCC Spirit GSL laser.

    GCC are made in Taiwan, not Mainland China. They have been in operation at least 15 years and expanded their range into Chinese glass tubes as well. They are well supported throughout the world.

    Re: Samples, made by Thunderlaser.

    Brash statement. Let's face it, what a laser can do is down to the skills of the operator more than the machine, but I would imagine that there are many other brands that would leave your K40 in the...
  12. Re: Desperately need help with GCC laser pro machine

    Well, it's a problem I have never had, so can only make a couple of probably dumb suggestions. You should check vector sorting in the driver, then it will cut the inside vector first. Also try...

    Re: Colorfill Etched Mirror Acrylic

    Did you take the laser out of focus and run a polishing path? That will make the engraving etch clear.

    Re: Need Help with lVLS 3.50 Engraver

    I would say that the main problem is that your timber has too well defined grain. You will always get heavier burning on the resin. Apart from that, it looks fairly reasonable. I'm not familiar with...

    Re: GCC Explorer "not cutting square"

    Mirror alignment is very important to get 90 degree cuts. GCC Machines have 4 mirrors so the alignment is very critical.

    Re: Synrad lasers

    I think that English is not Cinematic2's first language, so we can allow him some latitude as he obviously knows what he is talking about when it comes to lasers.

    The obvious question is why can you not use a vinyl cutter?

    Universal, along with Epilog, Trotec, LaserPro and some others have RF aircooled laser tubes which are generally more powerful than the equivalent wattage water cooled tubes. Therefore 25 watts from...
