-
Thank you James, great video!
-
Luv it, want one
-
Great video.. I own the B4/30w and love it.. GOing to your website to check it out!
-
Amazing, thanks for sharing it :hand-pink-waving:
-
Thanks James. brilliantly explained .. hopefully one day when I've saved up enough money I will buy the machine 👍👍👍
-
Interesting. May be next purchase. I say maybe as they do not ship to Alaska. Off question? Do you have and tips on how to do the 3d layering using Lightburn?
-
Great description of the laser and how it can be used. Could you provide a link for the safety glasses too? Many thanks.
-
Glad to see a design of mine, engraved by Tamas from Limitless Engraver!
-
Thank you, very cool video! do you know if the 100W version is same beam quality of 0.01mm like the 30 or 60Watt Versions? Thank you
-
Do you happen to have a video explaining all the different fiber laser types (galvo, MOPA, etc.)? You did touch on it in this video, but a real good explaination of type and reasons why you a person would buy that type of laser would be great. I'm going to get a fiber laser as soon as possible, but don't know what to get and what wattage to buy. Thanks.
-
Another great video - thank you. I am now at the crossroads and undecided - do I buy the FoxAlien laser addition for my Masuter Pro, or the Comarker B4. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

REQUEST 😀 James - amazing content - eagerly expecting every new video from you. Now - Here is a "fix" for flimsy bed for Sainsmart 4040 - SKU: 101-63-R40P-HSP4040 . Can you review please? I just got it on my door step and will be installing tonigh, but I think with properly taken measurements we can replicate MDF pieces or even make them "taller" ? If this makes sense ? PLEEEEEEASEEEEE get them and we will expect review from you! Thanks a ton!!!

James, could the ComMarker cut though 20 thou brass sheet? and would the brass likely deform under the heat generated? I am thinking applications similar to a plasma cutter, but for 15 and 20 thou brass? As an alternative to etching out brass shapes.

Hi James! Awesome video. This laser looks very much like a 30W Raycus Monport that I got a few months ago. Did your machine come with EzCad 3 or 2? I’m interested in 2.5D engravings but not sure if it’s achievable with the hardware that my laser is equipped with. It has a motorized column, but I heard that if the laser came with an EzCad 2 then it won’t be compatible with either EzCad 3 nor Lightburn 3
-
I wonder if a Laser like this would be good for making PCB's too
-
Hi, learned about your channel from The Clack Shack. I'm newbie. Still trying to determine which direction I want to go. Is this just a hobby or is there a market for this type of engraving.
-
What is the YouTube channel of the “Tom” you mentioned ?
-
Looking at the size of the base of your unit and what I see on the commarker site, exactly what laser do you have?
