In this tutorial, we will share how to use a fiber laser cutting machine for countersinking. Countersinking is a common engineering technique that is often used to install screws and nuts. Next, we will detail how to use a fiber laser cutting machine to complete this process.

Step 1: Draw concentric circles

First, draw the first circle based on the diameter of the screw. For example, if the screw diameter is 8 mm, then draw a circle with a diameter of 8 mm. Then, draw a second circle to represent the outer diameter of the nut.

Step 2: Set the fiber laser cutting machine cutting process

For the first circle, use the normal cutting process to ensure that the cutting penetrates the material.

The cutting process setting for the second circle is very important. A higher cutting height needs to be set, usually around 15 mm.

If the height cannot be set, a fixed height cutting method can be selected to increase the cutting height.

For the second circle, appropriately reduce the power and duty cycle. The specific reduction depends on the shape or thickness of the screw and nut, and needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation until the ideal effect is achieved.

After completing the above steps, the countersinking process is completed. I hope this tutorial can help you understand how to use a fiber laser cutting machine for countersinking and provide a useful reference for your project.
