    I'll be making another one with much less expensive wood to be painted white, but this one was specifically made with all heart redwood for the color because we also get requests for rustic decor. ...

    Insert tooling tightening torque

    For those of you who use insert tooling, do you bother torquing the insert knife mounting screws? If so, what torque do you use? Amana Tool specifies 2-3 Nm, but when I break one of their screws...

    Not here. This is a 750x400 work area, and although the laser didn't home at 0,0 - it did provide the full 750mm of X travel. Now, it provides that advertised travel and​ homes at 0,0. Also, while...

    Boss LS-1630 X-axis home offset

    So far, not impressed with the accuracy of my new machine or the "warranty" support from Boss. My machine arrived with the X-axis 5mm out -- that is, when the X/Y is homed, Y is at 0 and X is at 5mm...

    Thanks -- I'm very well aware of that. I guess you didn't read the part of my original post that said "The manufacturer (a US based brand who imports custom made machines)". Since I can't possibly...

    I thought so too. FWIW, this WAS from a US warehouse, so the shipping and fees on an individual order weren't an issue. The vendor (Sign-In-China) seems to have a good reputation, and I emailed...

  12. Question regarding power choice in new machine and upgrade option

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a new laser machine. I won't mention the brand as it really doesn't matter in regards to my question. The machine is available with two power levels -- 60W and 100W....
