Let’s just say that approximately 18 months ago I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought a Yora CNC Carving Machine 3018-Pro.
The plan was that my other half Shaun could do some carving and etching alongside his RC Car stuff. Well, that was the plan anyway, Shaun built the machine up while I was out at work and I arrived home to be “asked” to figure out how the software worked with the machine.
Hahaha, this was the last time Shaun got anywhere near the machine.
So, a great deal of fun and entertainment was had carving and etching different materials, but the lure of a laser got too much for me — I couldn’t resist and so I jumped in and got myself a 5.5W Yora Laser Module.
If you’ve read any of my blogs on cutting and etching with the diode lasers before, you will know that all I did to begin with was “wing it” with the settings and speeds. But, having taken the time to go through the 15W and 40W, I thought I ought to go back and do the same for the 5.5W.
