500 watt Fiber laser cutting metal, oxygen vs compressed air

Metal cutting starts at 2:53 encase you just want to see that. The metal cutting portion of the video is at normal speed, we only increased the speed of the engrave cycle.

First thing, air MUST be filtered very well, another video with a minimal parts list will be posted shortly.. Don't just hook your shop air to the machine.. Air requirements seem to be around 175 psi and around 5scfm, with thicker material and higher powered lasers you may need to increase the pressure and volume.

Machine in the video can be bought from bescutter.com I bought mine two year so its a slightly older model, the new ones have pull out material trays (way easier I'm sure) and are slightly smaller in exterior size with the same material capacity.

I do have a higher quality version of this video but I am having issues with uploading it, I may swap the videos later.
