    Thank you for another great video🙏☺️
  • Nice video. We're just down the road in Rancho Cucamonga. Howdy neighbor!
  • Fun Video! I've actually been using CC for a while now. BTW, I cut the black obsidian with the LaserMATIC 10W, no problem! I focus 2mm below the surface.

    I have a 20 watt optical and just rrecently purchased some colored acrylic to experiement with, various colors. Based on your video where you say 280mm/m @ 100% 2 passes, I will do my first shot at about 200mm/m @ 80%, 3 passes and see what I get. Thanks for this video. I am wishing I had a 60W RF laser with a 15" x30" workspace.

    Great video! On the mountain bottle opener. How do adhere the mountain and the acrylic together?
  • Would I be able to cut that Iced Leche Shell Acrylic from Craftcloset? It's a light color but it's not white-white. I know the Diode Laser has a problem with cutting clear and white colors. I haven't tried it as yet but I would hate to mess up this sheet.

    Hi! I have a question for you since you have experience with Lasers! Could the xtool 40w S1 be used for cutting acrylic? My goal is to do acrylic signs/decor, acrylic accessories and engraving stainless, steel, custom stationary, jewelry, and possibly glass. Would that laser work for those types of projects?
  • @user-sf1uu1gb4r
    I have a Burnlab A20PRO. I cannot get it to cut the acrylic. Is there some sort of trick or settings I need?
  • @jbrondos
    What glue do you use to adhere acrylic to wood? And then acrylic and wood to metal bottle opener? If the "force" (when using the bottle opener) doesn't cause the glue to fail, I'm impressed. [It sounds like I've made the same trek from the good old K40, to CO2 to diode laser, and thus your observations and shared experiences are spot on for me.]
  • @mikeguidry49
    Just to be clear, these are covers you’re laminating onto a metal opener correct? Thanks for the video and the info for CC, will be checking them out.

    Hi.. Any advice on how to cut mirror acrylic for cake toppers! Gold, silver, pink...
  • @fionafitter4245
    Where do you find the masking for the acrylic that was lined in plastic? I have no idea what to search for….thanks!
  • @jf6720
    Nice video, but I wish you would have shown some of your samples being engraved. I have no idea how you got 2 colors on the keychain, it would have been nice to see you actually make one.
  • @joshpearman7947
    Did you leave the paper cover on the acrylic when you cut it oe did you remove it? Thank you!
  • @shanedwards567
    Can you try a mirror acrylic? Like a gold mirror one to be more specific … PLEASEEEE I’m definitely buying this if it can
  • @B.A.Bassangler
    They all look amazing! Heaven forbid anyone ruin their lenses, are they replaceable, or do you need to buy a new unit?
