Chinese Laser Cutter Tutorial Part 1

If you watch the part 2 video you will see that some plastics produce dangerous fumes. Please do some careful research if you plan to cut anything more than acrylic.

To get a 50 watt tube in your machine you will need to buy a 60 watt machine because they are always over specified. The alternative is to buy a 50 watt machine (which will be cheaper) if it has a big enough work area, it will be fitted with a 40 watt tube but when you are happy with the machine and how to use it , you can buy a good quality tube and power supply to suit your requirements. After this 6 part series about getting my machine into working condition I made mistakes and learned my lesson the hard way. The the whole of my laser journey is documented starting at https://youtu.be/SlUFg42u5xQ After 8 months I eventually upgraded my 40 watt machine to 60 watts. I now have a great machine.
