For those that use laserworks (or some variation of that software):
Do you find that the time estimate, found on the preview screen, is reasonably accurate?
For me, it always seems to estimate about 20% faster than it should. Meaning it takes 20% longer to do the job than it estimates.
I also thought this was very strange: I was doing a raster design and cutout that I needed 2 copies of. I added a second one to the project, right next to the first, and the estimated work time jumped from 24 minutes to 62 minutes. I thought for sure it would be FASTER doing both together as the x axis overswings would only have to be done once per line. Am I missing something? Or is the estimation just probably off for some reason?
