I know this is a REALLY old post, but I'm having issues with 10mil Mylar on my Epilog 30W. Vector would be ideal for the speed. I am cutting game call reeds. 1 single reed takes like 2 mins+ with...

So I have 2 of these machines and last night one of them, upon startup, slams the lens carriage into the side twice before homing itself, that's a new one. The other machine basically fires...

So is it just plain impossible to engrave a bitmap image onto something that is on a rotary? I'm trying to use rotary mark like I normally would, the red laser won't even show up but for literally a...

Thank you for the very in depth answer Robert! I'll give this stuff a try when I get caught up on the weekend orders.

That's all I thought you had to do on here too lol.

Epilog has the standard settings for types of material. They really don't go into 3D stuff lol. This won't be so much for production, just some limited run custom stuff.

Thanks for all the info David. Well it started out with 4 simple lines. I did it with raster first and it was taking too long to see how it hit. I swapped to vector and ran quick lines and just...

No, these are CNC turned. I've been doing it for 3 years now and am pretty much self taught. This has been my one problem since the beginning lol.

So just run it a few times and adjust as necessary?

Well we have digital calipers here, so I can get as accurate as the calipers can get it. When I input it into Corel, it always seems to round the number up. Not sure if there is a way to fix that...

Ok, I wasn't sure which it needed to be. Being that it is an odd shape, how can I assure that it is level on the rotating assembly? Could that be the reason the design won't line up? Also, how can I...

290741This is a first pass on a checker pattern that I created. I made it in Corel and then exported it as a .bmp to actually be able to use it without bogging my PC down. The pattern is overlapping...

Ya, I've got that one.

Um, no. I can make a 3D checker in Corel, just looking to see if anyone had some pre made ones, but never mind. Can I get some help about why my project I'm engraving is not lining up on the rotating...

I engrave duck calls for a living, amongst whatever else anyone brings in. I'm trying to get a nice checkered pattern to engrave around a call. I was trying a pattern from Epilog they used for a gun...

Well if you do calls also, then I'm sure you know Echo Calls. Our logos don't go all the way around, but we've always used a rotary. Well, I'm having to do so many diamondwood calls lately, it just...

Ya I was gonna cut one out, but the way our parts are shaped, it won't sit level it just an outline jig, it needs to have the contour of the call. I was thinking of cutting box jig out with the laser...

I engrave duck calls for our business. Lately I have become so backed up with work that I've considered making a jig so I can engrave multiple parts. Right now I engrave one at a time on a rotary...

Ill post a picture of it Monday when I get back to the shop so y'all can see what I have so far. The customer knows the risk involved, and he said take my time, if I can't do it let him know, but as...

Ok my actually account finally got verified, I was having to use Matt Dunn's account yesterday. Sorry, but I'm not the walk away type, especially when I haven't even spent more than 2 hours on it,...
