The Rotary Connection: A Game Changer for Diods

I'm excited to share with you my experience with this rotary connection, which has made setting up my diods a breeze. This thing rotates your connection's down here, which is super inconvenient at least this thing rotates so I can bring it up I don't have to try to stick my fingers under there. You can bring it down and lock this in once that's locked in and this is on its pens now that it's on its pens we should be good to go.

Let's see how the old rotary works because ideally, so what I would like is to have this set up more often because I don't do so much with dodes anymore. Use this for any tumblers that I need to do and so if I can keep this in this current configuration and it works well then that this will just be my Tumblr machine. What do you think? Think that's fantastic! You could drooled a little so this is kind of cool.

You can flip this up on its end so you can get it hook into the rotary correctly and then you know turn these guys and flip it down I like that. What I would really like to see aside from this being a different kind of connection is uh for it to be longer because it starts to pull on itself when it starts to flip out too far. So I set up everything except the speed and power so I'm going to let that run and then I'm going flip it over and I'm going to do it again on the other side setting the correct speed and power.

Sometimes I'm an idiot sometimes I'm an idiot, let's do it again. Let's do it again I shot the Sheriff but I did not set my laser right okay so it turns out fourth times a charm how's that look but let me be clear none of these issues were because of the laser they are because I don't do a whole lot of tumblers etc etc and just some other stuff like I said this first one I was more concerned with setting up the actual machine and I didn't set my speed and power kind of second and third one were the same issue.

I didn't I I didn't set the rotary right I like I thought I had it I almost said spunt spunt I thought I had it spinned I thought I had spun it to the right location I had not so those are just like oopsies now this one was settings that came with the machine and this is a perfect example of why you don't listen to anybody else's settings. You always do speed and power grid now I didn't do a speed and power grid today because I didn't really want to I I I'm not actually going to be doing these kind of tumblers so I made an educated guess uh basically I just lowered my speed by about 2,000 mm per per minute looking at this I would still do a full speed and power grid to get best results because while this is probably the best result I've pulled it could be better which is why we always say speed and power grid.

Speed and power grid speed and power grid speed and power grid all right one thing I don't think I went over is it does have a pass through on it this portion of the enclosure you can unscrew and take this off on the front and the back so you can run longer material through here uh this is basically about 16 in wide and so is the back so anything 16 in wide or narrower will fit slide through you can of course take the bottom off if you want to do something that this that won't fit inside the machine.

This is still by far my favorite Dio laser machine to date we've gone over Pros we've gone over cons I would say the machine is probably a 95 out of 100 it's got a little room for improvement I'm sure some of you guys are going to want to know how much the machine is. I'm looking at a the 20 watt laser unit with a Chuck rotary is $1,299 so 1,300 bucks that's everything so it comes with everything you don't have to pay extra for the exhaust you don't have to pay extra for the honeycomb you don't have to pay extra for the air assist the camera all of that stuff's included so if you're looking at a cheaper unit take those things into consideration all of those items are going to be things that you're probably going to want in the future and they add up plus the fact that this is already enclosed you don't have to look at an enclosure and it's a solid enclosure it's look at it it looks so good you can see everything from every angle it's just sexy as hell.

This gets the the build that build two thumbs of approval I don't know if that's the thing but if you're in the market for a DI laser machine this is the only thing you should be considering at this point.
