Ryobi 40V HP Lawnmower Introduction

-


 The new Ryobi 40 HP Lawnmower is a significant step into the Ryobi 40V line of outdoor power tools.  I have set up the lawnmower and created some documentary videos to help others along the way.


Here is my unboxing and setup timelapse:



Assembling the Mower

Operating this lawnmower is easy.  The mower runs on one battery at a time.  The Start key has to be inserted pointing to the battery you want to use.  It is good to remove the start key when the mower is not in use.  I will also be discussing battery safety and storage.


This mower is part of my long-term home testing program!  Shortly I will post my visual manual videos on the blog!

Engraving Slate using the xTool D1 10w Laser

 I used one slate to run two different power tests on a test tile.  One on each side.   From a tile burn Grid This one really helped me understand the range of marks we can make on a slate.  The following is the grid out of LightBurn and it was not as much help: There is quite a range of marking you can do.  I feel that it will allow some interesting effects.  I only needed one "tone for the project I am doing."   I did one test slate at 2000mm/min and 40% power for my 10W laser.  The design did not look right, so I changed the design slightly, and here is the finished project. Finished Slate Coaster Added Logo on the bottom I changed the speed to 1800mm/min and 40% power for the final project.  It slightly deepened the engrave.  The slate's top took about 16 minutes, and the bottom logo took 2 minutes. The setup is straightforward.  In Lightburn, I created two concentric square boxes on one layer that I do not burn.  These are for reference and alignment.  One is at 100m

Xtool Air Assist Unbox and Setup

-

 My Xtool Air Assist kit arrived today.  I unboxed it and set it up on my D1.  The kit has everything you need, the instructions are good. I run the air line across the top of my "enclosure" leaving enough to let the head move around.  I would have liked a more flexible hose but it is fine for my install. I have not tried using it yet but here is a video of the setup and the air pump is running. I have to sort out the power cord routing and put a smaller board under the air pump.  It is interesting to note that there is no control on the air pump to vary pressure.

 I am planning to use the CNC to carve a lot of MDF.  The dust in the basement shop was too hard to control, so I built a workbench and put it on a machine cart to move it where I want in the garage. Here is an overview video:
