Very cool Ken, keep us posted how it does! What are you running motor wise?

Looks great Randy!! So are the marks you make actually down into the steel a few thou or just surface level? On a side note, got my fixture done... Gonna work great for batches!!

Thanks Ken, yeah I think it will be perfect for batch work... Super fast reference and just click a button, wait a couple min and I'm done with all the marks on that blade. I got the xyzr linear table in today! I had to make a base plate to be able to screw down to my laser... So I made it from...

@Chris Railey suggested we start a thread for all things related to lasers and I think it's a great idea! Any questions comments please post below. Note, this thread is for all things laser related... Fiber, co2, diode, etc Here's my set up (50w fiber) with ventilation

Welcome to America and the forum! Beautiful work brother

Hey if I was only doing it as a hobby I would definitely get the diode Laser... Nothing to be ashamed of! I didn't even know about those things before this post. I thought only fiber could actually mark into the steel. Plus - this is dedicated for metal (and maybe some kydex)... The diode can do...

I just got this! Man it's fun to mess with. 50w fiber

Stunning work my friend, you knocked it out of the park! Coop did an incredible job as well!

Thanks for chiming in Bob! As far as matching the air flow I would use the same ID size duct for both sides and only have 1 port open at a time to the blower. The supply side (at the grinder) would be as close as possible to the exhaust duct but even if it's a foot or two away it should work...

I have never wanted to vent air outside because my shop is heated and cooled... and in order to do that you have to have some way for fresh outside air to come in your shop, which wouldn't be heated or cooled without a heat exchanger (from what I've been told) So I though I was reduced to...

Can you imagine if our wives were mods on this forum...lol

I would definitely rough grind those prior to ht

Dude that looks amazing!! Great job! I love the pivot collars, nice touch. Those bolster fit ups must have been a pain but they look incredible!

Yep as others have said heat is the main thing... I grind under coolant though which helps immensely (you could look into getting a cheap mister from Amazon for that specifically probably). I think it will look good with the cf! Here's one I did with brass

Thanks gliden, was this the video?

Super cool! Yeah I'm real curious on your set up... From what I've seen you need a vacuum chamber for them to cure in but is that not the case?

Never seen that but that's super cool Ken!! Thanks for sharing!

That twisted steel file work is such a unique touch, beautiful. Great job John!

That looks amazing... Reminds me of baker forger stuff!
