These are some renders of my particular head

Hello, I am from Spain and I have embarked on a particular cutter project using the embossing method. Are the sapphires you make very expensive? what price does it have?

Would the 90° tungsten cutting method as seen in the images give a stereo engraving sample? or in mono.

Thank you very much for your clarifications

this is a 3D sketch of my head

Thanks David, I based it on your project but since I am completely new in this field I am stumbling, I am already taking advantage of this thread because what I would really like is to CUT and not emboss and I want to do it with TIC tungsten welding rods which is the closest What can I do now? I hav...

You are right, the angle of my model is 18° and I have most certainly put it upside down and I could be wrong, but I am glad that you answered me to clarify my doubts, I wanted to do embossing with tungsten in David Nelson's project on Embossing has a specific inclination and its design is like that...

Query with "embossing" mode. I wanted to ask a question, I am following David Nelson's project and I have a doubt, in embossing, the stylet has to be at an 18º inclination on the perpendicular of the torque, but in Nelso's design there is a union piece between the cutting head and the rest of the as...

And until today that's all I hope you like my work and please you can ask me whatever you want. Thank you so much

A small video and images of the cutting head design:

And now I am immersed in the design of the cutting head, for this I decided to buy some 25W coils on Aliexpress, they are similar to ones that I saw in the design of some colleagues from Ukraine,This is the thread here you can see, they are purchased on Aliexpress https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtop...

As you can see, it occurred to me to place a fine-tip marker on a head prototype to simulate cutting on a cut-out paper disc. I will be able to test this when I move to the x-axis movement with the stepper motor. I am already close to the door. of this step.

Here I upload some images of how I've been doing so far since I started.

Hello to all the trolls, I take this opportunity to update the status of my thread on the slicer project based on that of the already well-known David Nelson. As you can see in the images there will be things done poorly (which I take into account) but they are like this because I want to deliberate...

Excuse me, this would be the way to unscrew it

You are right friend, I was wrong in the direction of the arrows, it is correct as you say, it is COUNTER-CLOCKWISE direction, excuse my mistake.

Solved! You just have to grab the round part with a vice and gently turn it in reverse. It has a metric 5 thread, I risked breaking it because I didn't know if it was held in place with a rivet or welding.

Good morning colleagues, I bought these coils on Aliexpress but I don't know how to remove the part that transmits the vibration in order to house the rods that are inserted into the torque. Has anyone bought the same coils? I have never disassembled one like it and I'm afraid of breaking it.

Well, greetings to all today I started my project and I put images of how it turned out, I have mounted it on an SL 1200MK2 to start. I only have the structure and tomorrow I will try to place the transversal and I will start looking for the linear spindle. Do you recommend any? Thanks to the explan...

Friend farmersplow, it is gratifying for me to have the experience and kindness on your part. I am going to analyze each information that you have provided me and I am lucky to have a team of R&D engineers at work who can help me with their data and choose the most suitable material. I will ask agai...
