    Hey Scott,

    That sounds like your tube is going if you've already realigned your beam and did the standard check list. If you need to do multiple passes for 80w at .1 speed there's definitely...

    This can be difficult depending on the software. I do this frequently on a Trotec Speedmarker 1300 30-watt galvo-fiber system. The software has a segmentation feature which enables rotary engraving...

    Personally I think you'd be better off with a stand alone system, adding a laser into a CNC area is no bueno, you can run the risk of damaging the optics with debris. I'm sure you could find a z-post...
