Thanks Jim I guess I don't know much about bigger machines, I assumed they were just like 110v machines but came with a different plug. Some other companies I talked to had separate connections for...

Jim Love the pictures and explanation, it is so informative of how the process goes especially for us regular joes that don't have large crates and big machinery delivered all the time. Curious...
What program did you use for that layout?
Looks awesome! Love the pics, enjoy that beast.
Waiting patiently for news... :)
Congratulations!!! Just got my first quote for a panther too, probably won't be pulling the trigger anytime soon, but it looks like an amazing machine! I didn't see the Cyclone on the options sheet...
Hi guys. I have a customer wanting 200 cutting boards engraved but wants to supply them. Do I ask them to send more than 200 to account for any testing or mishaps? Curious how others handled this?
Not having any luck lately. I was laser cutting some acrylic key chains out and noticed the circles for the ring were not circles. the hole is about .125in. I was running at 10mm/s. Any ideas on...
I'm pretty sure I meant X axis (Left to right motion). thanks again, I followed the wires from stepper motor to the stepper driver (i think thats what its called) and did not see any splices. Do...
Thank you. I did check after I received the machine and your right there was loose wires then. I rechecked them today and all were tight.
I did rerun the job on test material at 200mm/sec and it...
I'm pretty sure I meant X axis (Left to right motion). I was/am on little sleep.
I setup my material on the bed, set the origin of the laser head to the center of the material, focus and then run...
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes I will be engraving. Probably should have thought about colorfill but forgot about that.
I am going to make some memorial plaques for family members. I bought some from JDS. I will have a picture a poem and cross. My question is should I mask the board? Any suggestions would be...
Thanks Bert, didn't even think to try that.
Thanks Bert. I don't know why I hadn't come across this Golden Method yet. I will try it this weekend. I have not seen any free trials of photograv.
Hey All, I'm looking for some help making a memorial plaque for my grandfathers funeral. I plan to make it out of an alder plaque from JDS. My problem is I would like to laser his picture on the...
I initially went 100p and 50mm/s which was bad info from somewhere online because it didn't look good at all.
I then tried 70p and 200mm/s and it came out real nice (to me at least). Nice frosted...
Michaels craft store. 4x4 about 1/4inch thick
I am a week into my laser adventures :D I came across some dark grey slate at the store and thought I'd give it a shot. After I used too much power the first go, I dialed it down and achieved great...
No lathe Dave. They do look fun though. Videos I have watched make it look easy ,which I know it's not!
Your right. I added. I have Calipers. I will get a micrometer too.:D
Thanks for all the suggestions! I updated my location (thought I did it before) and my signature. Dave, I do appreciate your use of word wicked. :)

I have a laser coming soon. I plan on engraving and cutting wood, acrylic and maybe glass and metal (with cermark) down the road. What are some things other than stock materials I should have...
I'm thinking of doing something very similar with my window exhaust as well when I get my laser. I was considering putting insulation between the two window pieces, is this something you considered? ...
