Hi guys,
I'm a complete newb to engraving. I use a typical chinese laser 40w tube and RD Works 8.
I've mostly figured out everything I need except for one issue that's killing me.
No matter what I do the laser beam always engraves outside the vector lines. You can see what I mean in the images.
It shouldn't be a focus problem because I always pay attention to aligning the head. For my machine its 24mm from work surface.
The issue is not a big deal with simple art but I can't do precision stuff and it's hurting my business.
I would be very grateful if someone with experience could point me in the right direction because RD Works is a pain in the ass.
Thanks.preview.pngengraving1.jpg
