Oxy-Hydrogen (HHO) Casting Torch Systems

I am looking at a hydrogen generator to use for casting. The ideal target would be platinum, but if it cannot reach that, then we will aim for gold, and if not that, then it will be demoted to repairing platinum primarily. I really do not need something to repair platinum right now, as our systems ...

xTool F1 Ultra Laser Cutting Basswood

This past Christmas season, I used our xTool F1 Ultra to first engrave various things on some basswood, then I had the xTool F1 Ultra cut the wood into rectangles.

Re: Using Spancal Morphvise at the Bench


We recently purchased several Spancal Morphvises to be used at the bench. I am not sure how much usage we will get out of them, but as part of our continuous search for +1% more efficiency we shall see how these work.

Typeface Font Family Font Selection

When we were solely doing engravings by hand and by manual mechanical engravings we had a few "fonts" to choose from and it was kinda nice to not bog Clients down with choices. Now that we are in full swing with laser engravings, the available fonts are nearly unlimited. Of course, with hand ...

xTool F1 Ultra Laser Engraving S30V Stainless Steel Benchmade Knife

We recently had to engrave a Benchmade knife with S30V steel. I was scared to engrave this because I had not done an engraving on this type of steel and it was for someone else. I did not have a practice piece, and there are no preconfigured settings. After a lot of other testing on steels and ...
