Aeon Laser Mira 9 vs OMTech 60w laser cutter

3/21/2021

2 Comments

 
I've been fortunate to have both the Aeon Laser US Mira 9 90w laser cutter and the OMTech Orion Motors 60w laser cutter in my shop.  I made a video comparing the two lasers and seeing if the Aeon Laser Mira 9 is worth the thousands extra that it costs over the OMTech 60w.  

*I'll be updating this post in the future with MUCH more info.  For now, enjoy the video!*

I Upgraded My Laser To The Aeon Laser Us Mira 9 100w!

If you've been following me on YouTube or social media, you've seen me us a bunch of lasers, most specifically, the black and yellow OMTech 60w.  While it's been a great laser, it's on the lower end of the features and price range for a co2 laser.  It was time for an upgrade to a more powerful laser with more features.  This is when I found Aeon Lasers!  Aeon Laser USA is located in Melbourne, FL. With over 12 years of experience, they provide an incredible amount information and training.  They care that each customer gets up and running and know how to use their laser.
Visit Aeon Laser US.

The Mira Pro Mira 9 features a 23.625 x 35.5 (900x600mm) cutting area.  The Mira also includes the water chiller, exhaust fan, and air pump built INTO the the machine, therefore not taking up any extra space or hidden add on costs.  All included in a clean, tidy, well built package.
What's more, Mira US goes through each machine with a fine toothed comb, replacing all wiring ensuring it's up to the highest US code.  I have piece of mind knowing that safety of the internals is not something I need to worry about. 
Picture
Some other key features included a dedicated rotary port, large open window for viewing with a safety switch, full led lighting, motorized z, auto focus of z, faster engraving speed, built in WIFI, and incredible customer support, training, and online instruction.
So far, I'm extremely happy I've made the upgrade.  When considering a CO2 or Fiber laser, take a serious look at Aeon Laser US as a contender!

My Black And Yellow Laser is now OMTECH

9/21/2020

1 Comment

 
You remember my big black and yellow co2 laser right?  Remember this video?
How could you forget?  It's been one of the single greatest purchases in my shop to date.  A year later, and I still think it's worth every penny spent.
Now that purchase is even better.  Orion Motor Tech (the Chinese company that makes it) now has a US presence and an impressive website.  They are now called OMTECH. 
Visit OMTECH
There's now a little bit more to the purchase power when buying their machine.  They have a good selection of training and installation videos on their site.  They also have tech support in the USA and will help you get the machine up and running.  It's great to see a company step up and provide after purchase care to their customers.  They also have a great amount of accessories on their site as well.  Check them out today.

With all the crazyiness going on in the world during the corona virus, covid-19, I love the fact that people are hiding bears around their homes for children to 'hunt' for during walks and bike rides.  I designed a very simple file that can be used on a cnc, laser cutter, 3d printer, vinyl cutter or just a regular everyday home printer that you can print out on paper for kids to color.
Please feel free to use these files as you'd like.  Please tag me, email me, or leave a comment on the socials so I can see what you do with the, @myerswoodshop.
We're in this together!  Let's bring a smile to the faces of children.
