I ended up doing an acrylic extension housing. Thanks for the suggestion. My only concern is how strong it is. Seems sturdy enough. Time will tell.

I actually have some sections of round steel bollard that I think are long enough to cover the end. I was thinking I'd weld a section to the extension cover plate from the machine and then just weld...

That's the plan. The tube actually arrived early. And I finally bought a legit cooler. Past six years I've just been using an igloo cooler with an aquarium, pump. I just have to make an extension...

I appreciate the input from both of you gents. I would have considered RECI if they made a 60 watt tube, but as far as I know 80 watts is their lowest power option and I really have no need for 80...

I've now checked over every connection and piece of electronics. I can't find anything wrong with anything but the tube. So I ordered me a new 60 watt EFR tube and power supply. The current tube...

Would the mA meter be registering normally if this was the case? It's showing the correct mA reading for the various power levels I've set it to. I've got continuity to and from the laser tube on...

Howdy folks,
Short version: I believe my laser tube is dead, but maybe I'm missing something. It's 6 years old, the connections seem fine, The mA meter registers when I hit the pulse button, but...

That's pretty much what I was thinking, and I'm happy with that given how little this machine gets used. Thanks, Bill.

I was disassembling an old air line cooler/dryer and I thought maybe I'd like to repurpose this part of it as a water cooler for my Chinese laser. It originally had R134A running through it, but...

Michael,
These are the Epilog and ULS print drivers.

I'll be following progress on this.

Definitely glad, and appreciative, that you remembered that Fuller bit, Mike. I couldn't find anything like that in my searches.

Glenn, No, the laser will not do a hole like that into...

Thank you, guys, for the information and ideas. I think I'll go with the WL Fuller bit, as long as my customer will approve the additional cost. It's exactly what I was looking for. Something I...

Last year I did a sample for a customer. This is a government fella who needs 100 boomerangs engraved and also to have a coin flush-mounted with the face. The sample I did before was easy. I...

We store everything horizontally on these racks. Metal, plastic, and acrylic.

I don't know what speed you're using now, but if you slow it way down does it still do it?

Not for me. I can have Corel trace a 5MB file without issue. It does ask if I want to reduce the file size, but does not require it.

Thanks for the link, Keith. I like that.

I know it's easy to simply bookmark the second forum, or go up a level and check the other one. Overall, I'm sure it's a positive change as well. I...

I just did this recently for the X-660. We were having serious data loss issues with the amplified USB-to-parallel setup I was running. Got a Rosewill PCI Express Parallel card and no more...

I think I did a total of seven coats, Mark. I applied one coat every 24 hours and scuffed with 400 grit between most of them.

Thanks, Andy. I looked through several of the posts on here and searched Google as well, before starting the first one. Found several different methods people were using. I'll have to reread...

Personally, I liked when it was a single forum. I had (and still do) my bookmark for this specific forum, but I never think to, or have time to, go check the other one. Like you, I like to pop on...

I just went ahead and jumped into it. masking wasn't an issue and there is no noticeable seam.

Overall I think it finished just OK. I know this is not the fault of the product, but rather the...

Interesting read, this thread. We sometimes engrave guns for Police officers and Federal officers from various agencies, including ATF agents. We definitely do not have an FFL and no one has ever...
