Thank you for some of the things to check with my earlier problems, after replacing my lens and mirrors. The problems persist, though.
On another medium, this time cedar planking (of the sort you might bake a fish on), that I've coated with Varithane, I now have an issue (maybe related to the earlier woes) which has the engraving starting off strong and fairly deep, but then beginning to fade away about 5 inches along the x axis to eventually nothing. The engraving was taking place in this instance at 60s and 100p.
As seems to be normal for me, Sawmill won't allow me to upload a photo, but here is a link to an image of the offending piece on my dropbox:

I was able to do the job by turning everything onto its side and engraving in the first 5.375 inches, but that further limits the size of stuff I can do, and quite honestly is a hassle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
