such basic but most important information that 99.5% of the laser users would never think of without this super helpful video. if you watch ALL of his videos. you will end up with a more total understanding of laser operation and how to accomplish good results with minimal frustration. thank you la hobby guy

I have a suggestion for your viewers I am sure you are aware of this, when measuring with the calipers the beam of the calipers need to be parallel with the stock you just cut. To prevent measuring a parallax. To do this I place the material on a flat surface and the points of the calipers on the flat surface this keeps the beam parallel. Great video Rich! I am head out to the shop to calibrate the kerf and then the actual cut. Thanks for mentioning that sequence!😁🛫

ok so stayed up all night for these awesome LB college videos and i had to stop here unfortunately (only to sleep) i am absolutely hooked on this equipment and software. by far these videos are the best content on the subject i have been able to find. i also think that if i did not find these videos i would not be onto rolling tumblers after only three weeks into laser engraving and cutting. with no previous image manipulation software experience Rich makes it super clear on what it is we are to do to improve our laser game!

Thank You TLHG

My spider was cutting 4x4 squares into 4x5 so I sis this once and it was right on. Thank you I have learned so much from you

[georgechambers]

Thanks Rich, Ive done this calibration on my lasers and one was right on and the other two took some tweaking. 😁 Thanks for the video!

[cook]

Rich, your help with this type of subject is invaluable. You are a great teacher! I bought a Atezr 35w +, the setup quality from the factory was simply terrible. I wouldn't have been able to correct the issues without your support. Best to you.

First off, great info, thank you very much from Trinidad and Tobago!
I'm really enjoying my brand new Comgrow Z1 and completed the X, Y calibration perfectly (it was a tad off on both axes). Then I measured the squareness with my shop's machinist squares and found it to be a tad off also. Corner to corner diagonal measurements of the fame are fine, the table surface is flat (frame rests on a 26'" x 26" x 3/8" sheet of plate glass, and there are three little legs between the glass and bench), so I know its flat. Found the gantry to be out of square relative to the two blue supporting plates (~1.7mm over the full length of the gantry). my solution to that problem was to paper shim the interface between the front of the left gantry support (blue Plate) and the gantry bar using a thickness of four sheets of printer paper, this absolutely solved the problem. I now have a machine that tracks perfectly square and the x, y calibration is spot on. I've also added a Comgrow Lightburn Camera (camera module arrived defective, replacement on the way) and I also designed and made a pair of laser cut acrylic brackets for the Comgrow camera mount to provide overhead lighting for the bed. I will find somewhere to post the DXF file for those brackets, some pics of my rig and also an amazon link for the light bars I used. Very happy with this machine and thanks again for all the tips.

Must watch video for anyone with a new laser. Thank you for making it.

Wow I just found your channel from another YouTuber, I am a former metal CNC machine installer from the early 80’s I have been using digital calipers in my wood shop from the 90’s so I like precision. And I am a real stickler for being dead on when able.
Find your channel is a goldmine thank you for all of your work!
I have the original Ortur laser master the T shape unit it was sold as a 7.5 watt laser. But more like 3- 3.5 watts it worked well for me.
I just ordered the Long Rat 5 10 watt with air assist. 😁🛫

[geef]

Awesome. This is much more simple than I had imagined. I'll be doing this today

[danyodice]

Great video Rich thanks for all you do. I have learned a lot from your channel...🤘🤘🤘

[theknotwoodworking]

As usual, you are amazing at explaining vital concepts that lead to great outcome! This is probably why my boxes have been off a bit!

[danieltimms]

Another amazing video . Thanks Rich, don’t think you’ll ever realise just how much you help us noobs

[josephlynch]

Thanks so much for doing your videos. I’m a Newby to lasers, and your videos have been incredibly helpful.

[warriors]

another great video rich thanks for your time and effort what would we do without you haha 5 stars

[jaamachmal]

My circles were like curled eggs. I adjusted the belt tension. Not too hard, not too soft. When you raise the construction about 45 degrees, the sliders have to move down slowly. Then I had a problem with the coupling between the motor axle and the shaft. They were not in line. So I ordered two flexible shaft couplings. And now my circles are perfectly round. I have a laser from Twotree's TS2

[douglasmitchell]

Another awesome video. Thanks for teaching these tips and making us better at what we do!

[jannekallio]

and yet again thanks for all the help!

[miketurner]

Another very informative video, thanks for the info, I will make these cuts and measurments this week.

[raysalter]

Thank you Rich, I have trouble with my axis too!!!! 😊😊
