I haven’t meant it too seriously. I just needed a word to describe that conversation that is not even gliding above the laser theme and is just an exhibition of our knowledge about common units…
Thank you for the answer.
That is a new thing to me.
Very glad to hear it.
Hey Dominik,
usually I don’t write just to talk, in fact mostly I avoid it, usually I try to only make informative posts with informations and links for going further. But if I do I am often ironic, it’s always for fun.
Okay, fair enough.
I’ll note it, and I’ll be less annoying next time.
…and Guten Abend to the Europe.
PS: I liked this map to better understand imperial units 
Roadmap to the new uk now?

Hi Dominik,
I think the best option is to use another laser:
This laser is more compatible than Atomstack. The laser from Laser Tree also has an optical power of 20 watts. But only this laser not has shield from beams.

In what way is the Laser Tree more compatible with things than the Atomstack?
I ordered the M100 and am worried now!
Thanks!

Little late, but I have connected an AtomStack M100 to my controller. I used the db25 adapter to connect the laser via PWM and my spindle over RS485. I also printed an adapter for the 80mm spindle holder that’s similar to the mounting plate that comes with the laser so I can easily remove it to connect dust collection for CNC work. If your interested let me know and I can provide more details.
@DavZell if your interested let me know as well and I can make a post

Yes, yes, yes. I would love to see the details. Btw, what is your user experience with Atomstack? Could you compare it to JTech?
Thank you very much for letting us know…
Sorry i missed this the other day. Yes, I’d be interested in that. Also, which pins did you use on the db25 for the laser? (It might be obvious; i didnt just look!)
Me to, all the above requests
See attached for a basic, but usable mount for the 80mm spindle.

I haven’t used the JTech. Here is some 3mm MDF that I cut tonight. The red line though the hexagons are ones that I had to use a little force to get out.
I traced the wire back and I’m actually using the laser(PWM) two pin port on the back of the controller. I imagine the PWM and a GND pin in the DB25 would do the same thing. I also picked up a set of Microfit 3.0 connectors so I was able to make my own cable.
Thank you for coming back with this. (Just “thank you” is under 20 character minimum!)

Hi folks, I am looking into lasers for my 1F and I understand that 1F only supports the JTECH stuff but I am looking into others as well such as Opt. The Opt lasers look nice but to get anything over their 6W seems to be prohibitively expensive. Are their other manufactures that make a laser close to the 24W JTECH or does JTECH corner the market here. I am looking into mostly engraving/etching some cutting but don’t see a lot of options other than JTECH or OPT and it seems that prices seem out of whack for the lasers offered. Any information to shed some light would be helpful.
I’m interested in mounting my Atomstack M100 on my Journeyman. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is an old thread, but I’ve got an opinion.
I’m learning that three companies make products here in the US that work flawlessly with the 1F:
JTech, and Rowdy Roman. They are all small businesses but I’ve dealt with all three and the all have provided truly amazing support. I think there is enough info on the web to make other lasers or spindles or whatnot work with the OneFinity, but for a small price premium you will have access to the guy who designed the whole thing. You literally can’t go wrong with their products. I’m a price shopper but I am staying with the ecosystem.
