Success HX6090SE

[pedroman]

Success in getting my HX6090SE operational to a testing point last night. Funny how those little door switches turn off the laser when open...duh... It's not like I don't have real cncs that do the very same thing but did I think about safety switches at 11pm...nooooo...

So after calling China and speaking with Vicky at the factory who spoke very good engrish I was instructed to send my questions in an email to the company's US rep Frank. Well how about just asking the engineer my question and translating it over the phone while I have you on the line??? It's our USA vs China idea of customer service which is just different. Vicky was very nice but my question wasn't answered so I took a coffee break and sat looking at the machine, from a seated position......Hey what's the cherry switch by the door hinge??? (in the voice of Homer Simpson) DOH

Close door, push button, burn marks with laser.....gee how simple was that??

Today is getting computer happy with machine and start engraving. So far I think I'm pleased and I'll keep the word on the street flowing.

Hey Pedro;

Congrats, I got the 6090 from Jack at WKLaser and he's been great. The laser is pretty well built and my issue has been software related for sure. The instructions could have been alot better but I am happy so far.

I am just trying to get an idea if I am set up even close to ok. Running the 80w tube at 95% power I can only use about 7mm a sec speed and get through 1/8" PETG or acrylic. The PETG cuts the same but produces alot more smoke than the acrylic.

Let me know how fast yours is so I can figure out if my focus is out to lunch.

Thanks
