Hey guys! I have been engraving mirrors and have run into an issue as of late. The mirrors that I'm engraving are 12" x 12" and the artwork is about 10.5" x 10.5" vector. I sometimes get banding...

My friend actually has a spare window that he said I could run tests on so I will definitely test settings on that beforehand. I'll post some pictures of how it comes out! Thanks guys.

Hey guys, quick question. I have a friend who has some rear quarter windows from an older Cadillac and he wanted to know if I could engrave them (they are out of the car).

I know that they use...

Ok guys, I was able to get it to work! With you guys' help along with the advice of my IT guy. The ip address that the machine was assigned (192.168.1.100) was already being used by another device....

I talked to the IT guy at work and he said my gateway on the machine should be the same as my routers ip address so I will try that and report back.

I tried the usb over cat5 approach but nothing...

It's too far for usb. I'm using a 75' cat5 cable.

It's worked before over cat5 so I don't believe I need a crossover cable.

I'm thinking the discrepancy in the last set of digits of the ip #s between the router and machine may be the issue but...

I have an ebay 300 x 500 machine with a "50w" "Reci" tube and it has the RDC644XG controller.

I am running the cat5 from my linksys router to the machine.

The cable is new and was functioning...

I pinged the port and it is working and it will read on occasion and then not write. Can someone please offer some suggestions?

I need to get my vendor settings back to the original settings so I...

Hey guys. I an experiencing an issue with RDWorks V8. I connected my laser via cat5 and was able to read my vendor settings and write them with no issue the other day.

Now all of a sudden it...

Thanks Keith! I'm surprised I missed that video, I thought I'd watched almost all of his videos haha

Keith are you talking about how to improve the issue with accurate sizing of the image on the rotary or how to help fix the flaking issue? I'm open to ideas on both topics as for the rotary, I was...

Awesome design! I just sent you a pm. Thanks!

I'm using cheap glasses that I got at walmart. I think I'm going to adjust my image to be grey instead of black so that my "dots" are spaced out more and see how that goes. I've read on here and...

Thanks for the tips! I'll experiment a bit more and see if I can reduce the flaking.

I'm using the lens that came with the machine (sorry, I don't know what size it is). I did just 1 pass. I can try lower power and see if that helps the issue. What size lens would be considered good...

Hey everyone, I have been testing out engraving glass and using my rotary attachment and I thought I was getting pretty good results:

(Sorry for the dark lighting, it was the only way I...

Thanks for all the tips guys! Bert, how do I PM you? I can't figure out how to do it on this forum. Thanks!

Hey guys! I've had my "50w" china laser for a month and a half or so and I was wondering what kind of routine maintenance I should be conducting as well as good time intervals between maintenance.

I'm just going to stay away from pvc altogether. It's not really worth it. I will look into the stamp idea suggested by Bill. Thanks for all the input!

Hey guys. I have a buddy who wanted to know if I can engrave Kydex holsters for him. I wouldn't be cutting, only engraving.

I did a search and found one post here that mentions it. The post said...

I was able to manually order the cuts by following the video, however, it was easier to just change the color of the outside lines than to manually reorder the cuts.

I export in AI CS5 format.

Found this video from Sabarmultimedia that helped with the ordering of the cuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wVGHLWHirM in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

I still have that messed...

Thanks for replying Julian. I checked off both of the options you listed but the simulation still won't change. Any other suggestions? Also, I noticed that one of my lines isn't curved the same in...

Hey guys, sorry to bombard everyone with so many questions, but it seems every time I try to create a new project I run into another issue that I can't figure out.

So I designed a vector file in...
