Episode 22: From Plasma To Fiber Laser: Tamar's Bold DIY Leap

Welcome to Episode 22 of Laser Insights China!

Tamar’s journey from a basic plasma cutter to a dual-purpose fiber laser machine is nothing short of inspiring. With minimal prior DIY experience, he tackled the massive challenge head-on, learning through trial and error and overcoming steep technical hurdles.

His upgrades were extensive:

• Rebuilt motion system with stronger motors and rigid rails
• Lowered gantry for better stability
• Adopted Ray Tools AX-3000T combo controller for dual cutting modes
   These improvements unlocked faster speeds, finer precision, and minimal post-processing.

Frustrated by the lack of DIY fiber laser resources, Tamar launched a YouTube channel to share his process. His openness inspired other makers, and with support from the Skyfire Laser community, he proved that building a professional-grade fiber laser at home is possible.

Today, Tamar uses his machine to create custom Ninja Warrior obstacles and offer versatile CNC services. His story is a testament to ambition, problem-solving, and the power of community in turning a complex dream into reality.
