Thanks Scott! That did the trick - the mouse scroll wheel zooming is now back to X4 action and I'm loving it again! I swear they added this little "fix" in the upadate - I looked high and low for it...

I'll attribute the idea to Benedetto then, with thanks to you John!
If you need a custom fretboard template making anytime, let me know....I can cut them out on my laser in a jiffy (in 1/4"...
Hi John,
I like your fret slot cutting jig idea. I currently have two fret slot cutting jigs, one for the LMI templates and one for the Stewmac templates (different pins). They are both the...
Carlos, I'll take a stab at answering your issues.
a) You bought a Chinese laser, cheap. When you buy these, you shouldn't expect any support! There are lots of cautionary tales on the internet...
I've been building acoustic and classical guitars for a few years now and apart from drilling 10mm holes for tuning machines and using pre-made 650/640mm fretting templates, have not had to resort to...
Yeah, the new features in X5 are cool, BUT, they completely broke how the mouse scroll wheel works for zooming.
In X4 (and previous versions), wherever you placed the mouse cursor, the program...
Saravana hit the nail on the head! What a clever fellow!!
It was indeed the laser match value. It needed changing after I put a new tube in a short while ago. Was +7, now is -1 and everything is...
You could use CGI to do it....
Cheers,
Thanks for the replies chaps!
Rob - nope, it does this in one pass only. If you look at the high resolution version of the acrylic example (which was drawn in Corel Draw as a single 0.5pt broken...
Peck - are you around? Any ideas for me?
Cheers,
Hi Folks,
My 45W Epilog EXT has started rastering double on vertical lines all of a sudden. It's weird. I tried several firmware versions (1.0.1.4 thru 1.0.1.6) and tried it on WinXP and Vista,...
Angus - your file seems only to contain a dummy page (empty). I'm using Corel Draw X4, and your file says it's version 12, so there really shouldn't be any issue. Can anyone else open it and see if...
I found the reason why.....it was simple....
UNPLUG THE USB CABLE!!!
As soon as I did this, the Ethernet version of the printer driver worked just fine. I guess it's a porting problem in...
Hi Folks,
Sorry to bother y'all, but I'm having trouble making my new vista 64 based PC print to my EXT laser. I have the 64-bit driver loaded fine, and I've set the EXT up as a printer with the...
I've found this website to be useful for this task:

Yup! Bite the bullet and buy X3 or X4....your life will be much simpler afterwards..... :)

Thanks Brenda - give it a go! If you want some pointers, let me know and I'll shoot you a "how to" email :)
Kim - Yep, the cable lines are all laser engraved onto the picture before the epoxy...
Thanks for the kind words everyone! Most appreciated. I don't think these will win any prizes though....I have all the exhibit entries at my house right now (staging them prior to hanging at the...
I hereby officially coin the term "Larquetry" to be henceforth used to describe works of marquetry cut with a laser (marquetry, parquetry, larquetry....it's a natural progression).
Here's a...
FWIW, I measured the usable focal length range on my Epilog 4" lens and found it to be only +/- 0.25" from dead-on focussed. I did this by placing a long strip of black anodized aluminum at a known...
It looks like a fancy pulse-width modulated speed controller to me Don. If it were mine, I'd probably remove it and run 110V ac straight to the blower unit.

All done. It took a long time to get it all aligned, but I did it right and it cuts perfectly again now. :)
Just an FYI for those of you who wear graded bifocals like me......when you're doing...
Hi Larry,
My 36EXT will be two years old at the end of the year, so it went just in time (kinda reverse thinking here)!! I don't use the laser very much (perhaps 5 to 8 hours a week max), but I'm...
My 36EXT's tube went south on me t'other day. I called Epilog yesterday, in the afternoon, and my new tube was at the front door just after 10am this morning!! Outstanding service!! I'll swap it out...
It plugs in, so it must be a boy....
