Hello,
I am relatively new to laser engraving and was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some assistance? I have been having problems with a small part of my graphics or text being "clipped" off when using my rotary attachment to etch glass. This only happens with the rotary attachment connected, not when I am engraving on a flat surface. I am currently running an older Pinnacle 25W laser.
I have tried multiple things lately but this has left me scratching my head??
I believe I have my basic set-up in place.
1) Work area matches the circumference of my workpiece
2) Graphics/text is inside my work area
When I run the job, everything starts/runs as normal until I get to the very last letter or graphics (whichever is longest vertically), then it "clips" off about the last 1/8" inch every time.
One of my trials was to add in an additional word (to extend this line vertically farther). The same result would happen. It would engrave everything normally, then clip the last 1/8". I have also tried different Font styles with same result.
After engraving is completed on my workpiece, the information window on the engraver it says "Your graphic was clipped. Adjust so that it is inside your work area". Looking at my set-up on the computer, these couple words of text I am trying to engrave is clearly inside my work area. Yet this does not seem to transfer to my workpiece.
If anyone can provide any assistance to me it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
