Making Bag Tags with the Longer Ray5 10W Diode Laser!

There are a lot of reviews out there of the Longer Ray5, but most of them are all doing the same thing: assemble, test some materials, cut through thick stuff, then exit stage left. I'd rather us go through the process of using the laser for something relevant to the channel: bag tags! The bag tags are NOT vinyl. They are a special kind of laserable leatherette. Do NOT cut regular vinyl with a laser unless you know for a fact that it is a laserable product.

    Glad I found this! I have the Ray5 10W Pro Max Set sitting in the box. Once, (someday) when I get the shop cleared, and cleaned, and AC (In SW Texas, so AC is a must.) & venting installed, this will be handy for getting it put together and actually using it. LOL.

    Well spoken! Awaiting my 5/10. Cheers from Sweden
  • Oh my gosh, Georgia, it's like you're living in my brain! lol! This is just what I need! Thank you for doing another great video. Love those bag tags you made. (I definitely need those in my life right now as I get acquainted with my new Juki! lol!) Have an awesome day! :)

    My Longer Ray 5W 10w decided to catch fire today. the whole Laser was engulfed in flames. I had only left the room ten minutes. Wasn't even 2 weeks old. So much for their flame detection..
  • Was there anything about needing Lightburn or some other software? I have been casually looking for a laser but don't want to be bound to 'their' software or 'must connect to internet to use' software. Glad you touched on how both your lasers deal with the clarity of the fonts.
  • Can you help? I just put mine together and uploaded my logo and when i hit start it doesnt do anything. Just moves back and forth. Its not engraving at all. But i did the bird test from the sd card and it worked.

    ?? Just watched your video on starting a bag making business. Very informative! Do you offer custom bags on your site or do you just have people request it? Also, curious how you would handle options for the fabric?
  • Oh awesome, I've always wanted a laser. I don't think I need another hobby though haha
  • Interesting. I guess would be interested in how to program it to do a 'tag'. Software etc. Extra Cost? I would like to do personalized cutting boards.
  • @WHITEYESTELA
    Can you do a acrylic invites with that machine. Thank you
  • @monabelanger8916
    Would definitly make labels! And templates... could make kind of a frame shape for fussy cut. :)
  • I have been researching lasers. I was watching a video by (Eleana Workshop - Making a Mini Leather Backpack ) and I fell in love with the laser cut leather bag flap closure. If you have a moment, could you view the picture of the bag and let me know if you think what you bought will make similar a front flap? Thank you!❤

    I can’t get my settings right to cut tags in leather. It worked a couple of days ago, won’t now and I messed with the settings so I don’t know what they were.
