OK done my first paying job, well not really paying as these gaskets are worth 3K
Gasket for the bottom of a vacuum valve, you can't buy these, you have to buy a complete valve assembly and all that goes wrong with them is crap gets on the seating and doesn't seal, Unscrew clean the seat and refit but the gasket always tears.
OD is 35mm or 1 3/8" and the small hole in the outer bit of the leg is 0.5mm or 20 thou.
Crap video of it cutting, bit blurred as it shot at an angle thru a tinted lid.
12 seconds actual cutting time. Did 10 off to keep them going and then started playing. Still using ply wood at the moment whilst learning.
Not as easy as it looks, had to do this about 4-5 times before it was acceptable. There is a lot of detail on Merlin just under his hat and on his wand and it burns the wood away. Going to do this on gold and black laminate or silver and black for a guy who takes a Merlin to the shows and runs it under power.

Wow, that's a neat tool. It really knocks out those gaskets fast. The engraving on the SS looks quite good
once you used the juice on it. How long was the run time on that stainless for one "test" word, John?
John Stevenson:
Never timed it but I'm guessing about 15 - 20 seconds. It does give a time on the display after cutting.
I do some 5" engraved plates for the water board to go on big valves, quite a lot of detail on them and on the engraver they take 20 minutes. On the laser they take 3.
