I am a total nube to the Sport of Laser engraving. I know there are tutorial videos everywhere about Corel, but I am looking for a tutorial that is more specific to lasers. I am not interested in doing Company Logo's or Letter Head. Anyone have a name of one that they really like?

I can open a file and export a file. That is about my skill level.

Thanks,
Bruce

When I first got my laser, I subscribed to Laserbit's Laser University. It costs about a $100 and it was well worth it. http://www.laseru.com/
Here is a preview (sales pitch) video http://www.laseru.com/laseru/categorypages/preview/preview/PreviewLaserU.html

There are numerous laser engraving videos on Youtube. I have found it to be a great source for almost all of my engraving questions and problems

I don't see any point in paying for tutorials when there is so much available for free on the web.

Since every laser, even including the same brands and models is unique it is far more important to learn how to use Corel, then in short order you will do your own tweaking to your settings and techniques.

I generally examine a tutorial of some kind nearly every day even after 14 years of fulltime work.

Don't forget to check out Epilog's Sample Club - they have good simple projects for you to try as you learn. It's on their website.

I'm the same as Mike, I am constantly reading and trying new things, tweaking and refining - it's part of the fun of owning a laser!
