Perhaps you already have a Yora 3018 and you’re considering buying a specific laser engraving machine, rather than add a laser to your 3018, or you’re ready to jump straight into the world of CNC with the Yora CNC Laser Engraving Machine 6550.
Well, here are a few pointers and things you need to know to get the best out of this 2 axis machine.
This will sound familiar if you have read the 10 Things You Need to Know About Using the YoraHome 3018.
That may sound obvious but use our instruction manual, and you will find it so much easier to build up your machine.
This is the version you will receive on the USB stick that gets delivered with your machine.
It will guide you step by step and get your machine and the software all set for your first projects.
Note you will use different software for the laser than you would for carving.
You only have 2 axes to be concerned with, left and right & front and back — there is no up and down on the 6550.
Make sure everything is moving smoothly and the software is connected and moving the two axes appropriately.
Read the instructions very carefully and adjust the belts as necessary to allow smooth movement.
Check the corners of the machine are at 90 degrees — voice of experience, it won’t run smoothly if the angles are not set up correctly.
