    Anybody here with a dual head G.Weike?

    Hello! First post here on this forum :wave:

    We are in the looking at different machines, and we got interested in LC1390 from G.Weike. I've been in contact with Melody and she has been very helpful so far.

    Planning on getting one with a 150w tube for cutting and a 60w for engraving, a dual head setup. And I've got some questions regarding it if anybody here owns a similar machine:

    How do you 'park' one head? Do you detach it and move it off to the side?

    I was also wondering how easy the heads are to detach and attach, and can you place them at different distances from each other?

    Does it affect the maximum speed at all, because of the extra weight to carry around?


    Thanks in advance,

    There should be some customers who choose dual heads in this forum. The machine is easy operating. If working at the same time, they can only be kept for the same distance, each one can only work for half of the working table.. If you park one of them at the corner, the other head can work on the full working table.

    OK, that sounds good. How do you park the head? Is it just a button or do you need to mechanically loosen something?

    The two lasers heads are very simple to move. Just loosen a couple of screws move the head where you want and your all set.
