Laser cutting wood

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Wood is another type of main material that the laser machine works on. Both cutting and engraving can be down very well. People use it to make artcraft, models for buildings or airplanes, or many other types. Most times, laser will burn wood , then wood surface will become black or yellow, for model making, black will be no problem but for common show, we have to take more attention.

There are many types of wood, some is very hard and some is soft. Laser cutting wood is only with good result for soft one, but for laser engraving, even hard wood will be with good result.

So when you want to do laser cutting wood, must be sure that we can do it with laser, and do it with good power, good speed. Too powerful will burn it, while small power can not cut it through. So it needs practice and time to get a better result. During this period of time, customer will become an engineer which will be a nice thing.

Now you can find here for some nice photos sample.

Review for cnc router and laser cutter

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

Redsail is the manufacturer for both cnc router and laser cutter. Most customers are using the two types of machine for one job, while what is the same feature and what is the difference between the two types machine?

Same feature:

1, they can do both engraving and cutting.

2, they both need water chiller or air chiller

3, they both need to make good file from software, and sometimes they are using same software

Difference:

1, the biggest difference is , after laser cutting, no need for polishing, but you have to work with a polish machine after cnc router working.

2, laser cutter is working with laser tube and cnc router is working with blade, obviously

3, Mostly, cnc router can cut thicker than common Co2 laser machine. But still need polishing.

Laser helps you to make a dream

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

I talked to a customer Simon yesterday about Redsail laser cutter. He bought our laser machine 4 years ago. At that time he bought a laser model C120 and now we upgrated this model as CM1290.

He told me Redsail laser helps him to realize the dream–make a small shop, make some craft, do some business, and support a family.

This is how a laser made: with this laser, we can make a adversting company, cutting some acrylic sheet, cutting differnet design, you can even make a small factory. It just needs your idea and little money.

Where you can find this kind of laser?

Laser problem 2—what kind of maintenance does a laser machine need?

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Are there a lot of maintenance costs involved in using a laser engraver?

You may ask this question before you make decision for buying a laser machine.

Actually Apart from the laser tube itself being replaced every 3000—5000 hours there is virtually no maintenance. There is No belts, no bearings, no circuit boards. Nothing has had to be repaired on it. In ten years I’ve had it, I’ve replaced the focal lens, not because I had to, but I thought it was time and one mirror, because I thought it looked a little cloudy. The maintenance on these things are incredible. It takes so little effort, as long as you keep them clean. If you’re running a lot stuff that causes smoke, you want to clean it up and keep the machine clean so it runs good. The more you run it, the better the machine performs. The less you run it, that’s where you run into problems. If you have your laser sit for long periods of time, you’ll start to notice more problems with your laser tube because your gas starts to separate.

Laser works—-Glass

Laser working on Glass

Laser machine can work on many materials, such as wood, acrylic, plastic, marble, fabric, paper, cloth, and much much more, now we are talking about GLASS. Its not any special glass–just common one.  It looks like a art for Etching and Engraving on glass. You can make any design, then produces a beautiful frosted effect, making your glasswares appear more sophisticated and personalized. Logos, text (and just about anything else!) stands out even more as the laser creates an effect that makes your engraved design really “pop” off the glass background.  Redsail laser engraver will bring you new feeling for this.

Why do we say its new feeling?

–its popular more and more: you can make you own design which only belongs to you. You are only one.

Its very easy to operate: Any design you can imagine, you can make it on glass with Redsail laser systems.

Its Affordable:  You can spend much less money than a big brand to get a redsail laser engraver but get same result; Every one can take a laser as long as he has imagination for work and life.

Most important—–it will bring you money and also happiness.

To engrave on glass is a little bit special than other materials—We can find a lot of round or cylinder type of glass cup or bottle—not only flat but with more different types. Then how do we use a Redsail mini laser to work on this round glass material?

We need an equipment called rotary attachment. We had talked about how to use it in other topic, but if you have any question about it. We are always here to give you anwer.

2.    Find your file in the computer

3.  Click “Imange” — “Mode” — “Grayscale”

4.  Click “ok”

5.  The picture is gray now

6.  Click “Image”— “Mode”— “Bitmap”

7. Please choose “Halftone Screen” in the “Method” option

8. Choose “Round” in “Shape” Option

9.  Then it will show like this—-looks photo is made by grating or mesh
