Stop Fighting with Kerf and Offset with a Few Simple Tricks The Tinkerverse 2024-02-15 | Every cut produces a kerf and knowing how to deal with this kerf when trying to mate different pieces of material together can prevent wasted material and frustrated users.This video skips the discussion about how to find your kerf as that's been covered many times over in other videos. This is the next step of how to apply that kerf finding and use it to your advantage.****** Editors note: at 7:38 I reference setting the kerf to 0 to return to "true to size" which is not technically accurate. I should have said to default or stock size which most saved projects would be using if you haven't introduced kerf before. So by default you're losing 1/2 your kerf on each side of your cut as the beam traces the centerline. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯*****LightBurn Laser Software--------------------------- Get the latest LightBurn build: lightburnsoftware.com1.4.05 as of production of this video- LightBurn Support Forums: forum.lightburnsoftware.com- LightBurn Documentation: docs.lightburnsoftware.com- LightBurn Suggest a Feature: lightburn.fider.io

Do you even laser? A machine only a maker could love. The Tinkerverse 2024-01-11 | So yeah, I do have a laser that works and I've been asked before to show my laser in action. There are typically two reasons that I don't often highlight my machine.First the computer I do design work from is not anywhere near the laser making it a logistical issue having remote cameras and b-roll when I'm in the moment. Second my laser is just OLD and ready to be put to pasture and will likely break YouTube if I feature it on video too often. It truly is a machine only an old maker like me could love.In this video I give you a quick walkthrough of the beast and discuss if it's time to upgrade and some thoughts about what I might upgrade to. Diode lasers have come a long way since I started and IR lasers have some capabilities I want and pricing has come way down over the years. Maybe it's time to ditch the CO2 blue box?LightBurn Laser Software--------------------------- Get the latest LightBurn build: lightburnsoftware.com1.4.05 as of production of this video- LightBurn Support Forums: forum.lightburnsoftware.com- LightBurn Documentation: docs.lightburnsoftware.com- LightBurn Suggest a Feature: lightburn.fider.io
