Your attitude of sharing knowledge and not gatekeeping it is admirable and has earned my subscription to your channel. (still waiting for my laser in the mail!)

[kenlaplante]

Thank you Rich, two years later and this video is still fantastic, I just followed all the steps, got my Kerf and made a box, came out perfection! Thank you again.

[ClintonCaraway-CNC]

The message about the "community" is DEAD ON ACCURATE!! The
cnc/laser community is a great bunch of people!!

[heatherwhitaker]

You have made this process amazing! You are a wonderful human being! I will be purchasing downloads from you because you have shown me that it's our job to take care of each other. I am super excited to learn more from you. Thank you!!

[Camel]

Just wanted to give you a big THANKS 😊. I’m a new laser person, in fact I don’t even have it yet as it’s in the mail.
This is the type of informational video that is all needed information. Especially cleaning of the lenses. Thank you again.

[hefalump]

More basic skills that give us an advantage over those that don't or won't watch your videos. Thank you Rich. 👍

[larazatrump]

Sorry for the loss of your friend. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[kensutton]

YES a lens cleaning tutorial would be greatly appreciated Thank you for all you do!!

[cook]

Have you tried laying a streight edge on the top of the pieces b4 sliding to the left? You are such an amazing guy! Such an immense knowledge base. Love listening to your detailed and gentile speaking tone, your passion about this subject shines!

[Orion-cwji]

Might wanna add a number engraving to each piece then you could take it out to the table. Thank you for this video your amazing

[richlimppy]

Thank you so much for the information. I have watched hours upon hours of videos and read more. You fixed my kerf issue in one video. Thank you Sir.

[whocaresidontcare]

Hi Rich, nice idea for determining one's kerf. I have big fingers too and I would suggest laying a ruler or a smooth piece of flat stock across the length of the pieces to keep them from flipping so you can easily slide them to the left. I haven't tried this yet but it ought to

[alansetzer]

WOW! I just tried this on my SculpFun S6/Pro 5.5 w and the result came out with Kerf of 0.056. Now I will be able made some pencil boxes for my granddaughter's for school this year. That is if the SculpFun S30 22w ultra gets here first, then I will run the kerf test on it.
Thank you very much!

[Embracetherandom]

I wish I lived near you so I can give you a huge hug! You are simply amazing, smart, awesome instructor, and giving person. I have learned so much from you (you kept me off the ledge many times. I was ready to jump and give up). I love all your videos. I especially wanted to thank you when you said lenses cost $30-40 do you know a big well known laser company was charging me $100 for a replacement lens from cloudray! My air assist was not working properly and I kept burning out lenses. Which they couldnt help me get right my husband figured it out! They sold me 2 replacements for $200!!!
I wish I never bought this laser from these liars. Thank you for making me smart and have more confidence that there are nice real honest people out there! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[flanikent]

😃Thanks! Your alway saving my bacon Buddy!!

[congruewoodworks]

Thank you so much! I was able to download this tool and calculated my lasers kerf of 0.12mm, and now all my marquetry pieces fit together snugly. One other thing I did for the omtech 55W laser was adding thin shims to the underside of the knife blade bed that the honeycomb bed sits on and it's perfectly level now. I had about a 1.5mm slope from the left to the right of the bed.

[alfhaywood]

Great video as always, Rich. Not only have I learnt how to handle kerf, I even know what it

[gregj]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m relatively new to the laser world and my primary hobby is woodturning. The woodturning community is very open and sharing of information, ideas and procedures. Life is great.

[charleswood]

Thanks for this file, to avoid getting them mixed up I engraved 1 through to 19 on each piece

[michaelkeymont]

This is quickly becoming my favorite laser channel! Thanks for putting out all of this great information!
