All, Any pitfalls I should be worried about with fiber lasers? I’m currently running an 80 watt CO2 Omtech and have had good luck with it. Producing some really good stuff. Now, I want to get into metal engraving, mainly firearms. As a backup, do they work well for tumblers? Anyone use them for tumblers as a primary?

      Fiber lasers can do some amazing things, but they take time and patience to figure out. Each and every fiber laser is a bit unique, and requires testing to figure out settings for your machine. In my opinion, you are much better off with a co2 laser for tumblers. You’ll find that each color from each manufacturer will require different settings, and can take some time to perfect.

          : On my co2 machine, I use the same settings for every color and manufacturer of tumblers. Fibers have their place, but I don’t feel it’s for tumblers. If you’re doing a ton of tumblers, likely better to look at a galvo co2 machine.
