I just ordered me a air assit I have a Kentok Jl5 only a 5 watt hopefully it’ll help me make cleaner cuts and learn how to cut and I cut our critic. I think I learned how to cut a lot of stuff still I’m still learning so.

Thank you so much for this great information. I am a crafter so I already have a bunch of DT wood signs and can't wait to start cutting for the very first time with my DT 10w. This video was so helpful for this newbie.

Very good information! I’ll be watching! You do a great job!

[kelleyandrews]

Hey Roger. I appreciate you spending the time to help us green horns out. I am wanting to upgrade my D1 to Lightburn. Can you tell me exactly what I need? Thanks.

[kd-CarvingAway]

Thanks a bunch. So many useful tips. How do you deal (treat) with the soot dust around the edges? I'm always smudging the top surface.

Great video, I have ortur laser master3 when I try to cut through my 2.5 mm disk at 80% power 250mm I have actually done it 3 times on same disk and it still has not burned through. Why? New at this

[nancyford]

What is the brand name, and where did you get your safety goggles?

[erichirtriter]

Thanks! Question: Brand new purchase of XTool D1 Pro and the software framing button is not moving the laser to see the area of engraving. How to fix?

[suepeacher]

Can you cut boards that are coated with sublimation. And what kind would you suggest for diy projects. I just want to but boards already coated and cut out my own designs.

[ghurtault]

Hey there Roger, I don't see a link for the goggles you used... any chance you could post it?? 😎

[nnulph]

Good Evening, been watching a lot of your videos. Thank you. I went and got the dollar store boards and tried the squares the same as you showed, same numbers to. Non of them cut out, I am not sure what I did wrong. When the laser made the makers it only made the marks on either side and just faint lines on top and bottom. Any help would be great. Thank you

[gloriagonzales]

yes Im a newby to xtool D1 Pro and Im so confused on the burn and score setting numbers. The part I dont understand is how you even know what number to even start with. Like you automatically started with 250mm and 80 power. I wouldn't have even known that so how do I know for other text piece or thickness? Is there a chart to go by? and some videos ive watched have little numbers like 100 power and 6 speed. Totally confused.
