Hey There,
Will lets see, I have bought a ArtCut M40 Laser Engraving Machine.
Here is link to a picture of machine:

I have tried to do a couple of differnt things, but not good things yet.
Here some of the info:
Laser Power: less than or equal to 40W
Engraving Speed: 0-180mm/s (0-7 in./s)
Cutting Speed: 0-18mm/s (0-0.7 in./s)
Minimum Shaping Character: 1 X 1mm (0.04 X0.04)in.
Resolution Ratio: 0.0254mm / 0.001 in. (1000dpi)
Power Supply: 110V / 60Hz (external)
Ok my first question is this : When I import a graphic of font and hit engrave, why do I only get about less then 10 mA with current regulator turned half way. If you go past half and keep turning up the voltage goes down to almost nothing?
I have tried to laser paper, and can only do
One sheet of paper, regular type, and tried card stock. I have tried cheap mirrors and it will not engrave you can see a small markings, tried wet paper towels, and dish soap. Does not help.
I have went back and checked mirrors,cleaned them, again reset mirror.
checked the height from table top to base of mirror.
Second question : I am trying to engrave a font only - converted to black and white and saved as a jpeg- bmp- and when it engraves it does it at a slower speed ? I have went to control panel in Newlydraw and played with the different settings.
I have tried the help section from the website to see if I could read up on this. I guess I am looking for poniters.
I am a newbie with lasers, done the vinyl cutters thing.
I guess I am stuck and have spun my wheels and racked my brain trying to get this thing working correctly.
I know I get what I bought crap-
Can anywho care to help a lost and crazy person ????
