I have seen this before. A long time ago.

Check the manual for your stepper drives. Do they switch on a rising edge or falling edge.

Check that parameters match what the drives need.

That was my point. Consistency is all I hoped for from it.

As I said I am not sorry I bought it. :)

I have one of those Mahoneys.

Is it accurate? I would not know. Nothing to compare it to. But I believe it is close enough for my needs.

What I do know is that it is consistent. That...

OK my opinion is go with the Ruida. I have both and that is my preference.

If going with the Anywells product, look at the AWC708, as it is the later model and better than the 608.

Look like the lettering and floral emblem are on two different layers. Flatten it on to one layer so it is done in one pass.

However that does not explain the skip or slip. Which is happening at...

Yeah I bought one tube from EFR no problem. Good to deal with.

Frank yao was the contact I dealt with.

Have bought a EFR ZN-1250 from EFRlaser in China.

Advice from this forum was that they are a little better than RECI

Did the maker of your laser and rotary attachment, intend for the driven end, to be at the opposite end of the bed?

Don't we all. If you have used the same email address for any length of time you will be on those data bases. Just a fact of life on the internet.

I stand by what I said. "I think they will be...

These people are in sales. I think they will be quite happy to know there contact details are being posted on a forum about lasers.

You have already been given a contact, however I will add,

I just received a ZN-1250 (Reci 80w equivalent) and matching EFR power supply direct from EFR.

The person I have dealt with...

Although I do not have Illustrator, I believe there is also a macro for that now, as well as the others mentioned.

And that is a LaserCad feature and quite independent of which controller you are...

The AWC608 and AWC708 are made by Shenzhen Trocen (Anywells) Automation Co.,Ltd

Marco is Marketing the AWC708 as the X7. He has them with his brand on them.

Co-linear, collinear, coincident. I am not sure what the correct term is.

On mine the red dot goes through the lens just the same as the CO2 laser does.

It is a bit different in respect that...

I know this problem. :)

Usually I start by encouraging the customer to make the logo smaller. Thereby reducing the visual distortion.

It is not as easy to describe as say a "Shenhui 460"

I built it with mostly Chinese components.

Hiwin linear bearings.

Chinese stepper motors with US made Gecko drives.

Mine has the collinear red dot. On when the lid is open.

Shut the lid and the red dot laser physically moves out of the main laser path. Of course I don't need the red dot once the lid is...

I'm with the two posters above.

Would hate to not have the red dot. Perhaps not essential but very handy for setups.

Collinear and is on whenever the lid is open. Just the way it was...

I haven't seen a Trotec rotary attachment, but rotaries generally are pretty simple in concept and engineering.

A suitable chuck for your purpose could easily be adapted. If you don't have the...

They are occasionally, although some sort of screw mount is more common. However it is very common for the tail stock to have a morse taper.


It is my experience to be the opposite.

For me at...

I don't think the OP was asking about Mach3

Different beast altogether.

Mach3 is a controller and needs very tight and precise control of the timing of signals. This is why only a true LPT will do.

I doubt that is the case here. Just transfering the job to the...

Typical power supply for a glass tube laser has two main basic control inputs.

1. TTL 5v signal that turns the laser on and off.

This can be done very rapidly. Example high speed engraving.
...

I have both styles.

Use the chuck style often. Use the roller style never.

YMMV, but for me it is a no brainer. :)

I don't use LaserCut but in a lot of ways it is similar to LaserCAD, which I do use.

In LaserCAD there is the option to choose the origin. It is called "Position Relative". See Pic.
