Sure is nice to be able to do my own now when I want.

Got any cool tools lately?

My cub cadet decided to shell the magnets in the flywheel for some reason and destroyed the stator.
In the process of trying to find parts I found this nearly identical one for $400.
Dude said the electric clutch kicks out. After bypassing all the safety's, it works fine
.
While we were picking it up, he said you can have that one too if you want, and gave us this one.
It runs and works. But the engine smokes bad.
Time for a rebuild.

That’s my understanding but I haven’t had a chance to use it yet.
Got this recently, was easy to get working and start burning...
And it even works on not just anodized aluminum, but also mil spec hard anodized aluminum, which I was afraid it wouldn't.

Dang it, now I want custom fuel rails from you.
Unless you need custom rails it's not cost effective as I can buy CNC machined rails cheaper than making mine. However, when you need them, they are a very good option because I 100% machine them, even for the SAE end fittings that take o-rings. Some shops just weld the ends on, the SAE cutters are expensive.
I suppose there is nothing preventing a person from getting their aftermarket rail etched with my logo, especially if it has a Volcano in it.
36W input, 33W output, Longer calls it the "B1 30W" model. I guess it has six 6W diode lasers in it. They have a 40W model too that has 8 of them in it, but I bought this one off marketplace for ~1/3 of new cost, so I had to try it out. If I was buying new I would get the 40W model, I think it would do everything just a little faster. It came with a rotator axis as well I can plug in, haven't tried that. It's not slow even the way it is.
When I tested the hard anodized I had to increase the power to 100% and slow it to 1000 mm/min travel speed, then I could feel the etch with my fingernail. So I could probably speed it up a little and still mark it clearly. It was barely legible and not clear at 70% and 7,000 mm/min. Regular anodize it would mark very clearly white at 40% power and 10,000 mm/min, although I feel if you look with 7X eye piece you can tell its more accurate if you slow it down. With the naked eye you can't really tell.
I think it can travel at up to 36,000 mm/min, haven't tried that. I did do a test at up to 20,000 mm/min at it was working just fine.
I noticed they have a kit to expand the work area from about 1.5 ft on both axis to about 1.5 ft x 3 ft for only $130. But I wonder if it affects the accuracy if the belts are twice as long? I certainly don't need that size yet, you can fit larger stuff under it as long as you aren't trying to etch more than that size in one program.

Can confirm, it will do 11R24.5 no problem.
The hardest part is getting them up on the machine. Its a two man job for sure.

Had to pick this up to bead them.
Whimp.
It’s actually easier doing them on the truck.
He alreasy had the wheels off though to replace some studs and do brakes. Just wanted to see if the machine was big enough. The tire and wheel assembly is 198 lbs.
I know.
I can still get mine in the back of the semi trailer.
The steel wheel almost breaks my back, but the aluminum is more doable.
Last time I had 8 to lift up, I stacked and flipped them up and in, I only had to lift the last 2
By the way I hope by now you know me and my humor.
If I can still do things doesn't mean others are whimps if they can't.
I am just happy I still can and will keep doing it until I can't
Got into a lot of trouble with those at the tire shop I worked at back in the day
I got a cheap one from China a few years ago for $65.
Works great.
What did this cost you?
165 bucks. More than i expected it to be.
