I decided to do a video of engraving and cutting simultaneously with my ORTUR Laser Master 2 pro w/ LU2-4 (20 volt, 5.5 watt laser) :)
Important Tips :
Do not move your material you have engraved until you are done cutting. It’s almost impossible to get back into position!
Do not turn your machine off between steps.
NEVER leave your machine unattended !
I did forget to mention that I dialed my laser down one rotation with my Z height adjuster before cutting. If you are doing thicker material , you can dial it down even more.
Aha! The reason all my inside shapes did not cut first was that I had the “optimize travel” selected. It generalizes the entire piece .
I am not sponsored in anyway and I tend to use what I have. You don’t need the biggest and baddest things to start Laser Engraving ! On that note , I do appreciate if you would subscribe to my channel. It would be great to get paid for the time and effort I put into the videos. :)
I will be making the Christmas Ornament Templates available on my “Subscribers Only “ Facebook page.
More details on that and what you should have to begin Laser Engraving is in Video # 11.

Thank you so MUCH for this video. I followed your instructions, and nailed it on my first cut!!! With so much information, it can make it even more difficult for the newbie. I've spent lots of time playing with the router, but the laser is still so much different with a completely different GRBL sender. I found your video, closed all my other notes and windows, and felt confident that this is the best way for me! Thank you again <3

This video was amazing. I just got my laser/engraver for Christmas so I could make wood cut outs. This was the best video I have watched that explains how to get the machine to cut. Also love the ladybug. Cannot wait to buy one.

I've updated this in the video description,.. and covered it in more recent videos,....but for anyone not wanting to read my novel there.. :D ... The reason all my inside shapes did not cut first was that I had the “optimize travel” selected. It generalizes the entire piece . Also, there is a Red Stop sign with a hand on it on the lower right of your LaserGrbl screen. This WILL STOP the laser right away! I've always been apprehensive to use it as it resets all my settings like the slider functions I had dialed in while engraving. ( That's why I keep a "Laser Bible" to jot down all my setting for each project and material. ) The stop bottom to the top left will not stop engraving or cutting right away if Your GCODE has already finished sending. And finally, I have completely tested out the Append function, that I go over in Video #16 . The new flood fill and outline features in the latest LASERGRBL version. I am happy to say it will indeed do multiple cuts and I have also discovered a much easier way to save files for precise engraving and cutting. So updated instruction video is coming soon! :)

Thanks so much for your nice video: i learn a lot from your settings on Laser Gbrl, i'm going to make my first Laser review and of course i will come back here to make a step by step from your video! I hope you will help a little in case, you have a new subscriber too! Thanks and a big ciao from Italy, Alberto 🇮🇹

Thank you for posting these videos! My LM2 20w (predates PRO) is about two years old. I have not yet purchased lightburn and did not realize that I could do gray scale in lasergrbl. I have not yet cut anything (successfully) either but have wood pieces about the size off yours (3mm, though). So excited! Two questions: Have you done anything yet with your rotary? Your air assist connection came with your PRO, didn't it? I am on my second connection as the previous one cracked and I am a bit challenged with getting to home position. It could be the way that I have mind attached, though. I need to find time to get back to this!

Thanks for your help. My first ever engraving and cut was step by step with this video. I have the LaserGRBL v.7.7.0, Do you know where I could find tutorials for that? Thanks again.

Thanks to your videos, I have started making ornaments with my 10W diode laser using 4mm plywood. Everything cuts great except I'm have trouble dealing with charring on the edges. How did you avoid the charring getting all over? Do you seal the edges?
