Hi Burt, I used to engrave small rocks like those on the spot at some festivals. I made an insert out or a flat piece of thin metal sheet (white colorbond) than I placed on the main table in the...

Hi Matt,
Closest thing I can find in my MasterClips collection is CheshireBroard TTF I've attached an image based on your text sample. The E and e letters are the only ones that don't mach all the...
Hi Jeannine,
Firstly as others have said don't dismiss the idea of a Chinesse Laser, I bought one nearly 6 years ago & never regreted it. I was the first one in Australia to make it mobile by...
I should have pointed out that I only engraved cork & never cut it. I'd buy the cork from the $2 shops in packets of 4 or more round or square coasters and also larger ones about the size of a bread...
I've done Cork coasters myself, tried clear lacquer/varnish but being cork it tended to suck it up and was dificult to get an even finish. In the end I just brushed off as much dust as possible and...
Yep all the time, I study them critique the flaws in my head, and equally praise the prefection and try to learn form the experience.

Craig, I think you'd be looking for a Nesting Tool. If your using Corel these are a few macro's available out there. I used a tool for Corel some years ago called SignTools I think its still...
I for one hate tacked on fees, you've stated you know you can get the job done so just do it, do a great job and you'll be rewarded with future work. The only time I'd charge an "urgent fee" would be...
As Richard has pointed out, there's a vast quantity of info on these forums one only needs to do some searches. In regards to acrylic, yes it does have a odour when cutting/engraving but if the...
As an expansion to Rich's mug jig here's some info on my jig's for everything from bottles to wine glasses which might be of use that I made a few years ago and used for several years. If anybody is...
Interval is the space between the lines, its kinda like DPI is to printing but in reverse. The higher the interval is means the lines are more spaced apart so you'll get a crappier result, On my...
I had a request recently for more info on how to put the timber LED Edge lit sign bases to gether so I've drawn this graphic, hope it helps. When I get my stuff out of storage (moving house & having...
I've had a look at the pics Jeff Posted, whilst they do look good, they do show a distinctive banding pattern much like an injet printer does. My images engraved using the Rastus filter the more...
Hey Michael, I don't have a Redsail so I've got no idea what they look like in your case. So, if you can post up a pic with some dimensions then maybe someone here might be able to point you in the...
Hi Mike, Yes MDF MR is brownish but you need to look close at the edge for small green flecks. No flecks? then its Standard MDF. Signboard is a thicker MR version of Masonite you can get it from...
Not knowing what your final product is makes it difficult to suggest alternatives to MDF, but seeing as you specify 1/8 (3mm) you might be able to use Matt Board which is a thick dense cardboard...
Be careful guys, there is LEGO and the chinese knock off's of Lego. The real macoy Lego is ABS but some of the knock off's are PVC.
I agree with Rodney, a sheet metal shop should be able to help you out, they might be able to straighten it or shim it up or make a new one and do it quicker & less expensive than mucking around with...
I'm a bit old school, I've been using corel since version 3 when corel installed from half a dozen floppies. Nowadays its much faster and can do more things. Over the years I've used Photoshop for...
I'm not sure about the Epilog but with my Laser I have the machine set to home position at top left. So my working area is 500mm x 300mm so I set my page in corel to that. Anything that I draw within...
I'm with Mike on this one, we have a saying here in Australia and this gadget fits it perfectly, "WHAT THE...."
Understand where you're coming from Bruce, whilst I have CS5 which isn't an issue on Win 7 I love the simplicity of PS Version 6.0 which does pretty much every thing I need without having to sqint...
Another way you could do it is to draw the shape you want for the tab and colour it to a colour not used in the file, Set Snap to object, then position the object a few times around the path, just...
Go with Bill's suggestion convert the outline to an object the only thing I'd add is do it to each letter then weld the outline back to the letter, its a bit of work but only takes a few seconds for...
I think the QR codes can be useful, for business cards I would suggest printing in smaller quantities and putting a different code that points to a specific page on each lot. This way it will be...
