This weekend our ULS software alerted us that there was an update. We've never had a problem with the updates, so we installed it and rebooted. Our computer never came back to life. Couldn't get...

I'm a pen turner and engraver ... and I'm very impressed! Do you have special optics on your helix to get such definition? I feel like it's greater detail than I'd get with my 2.0 lense.

Thanks for the replies! I like the idea of cutting our own spacers, seems rather simple for the type of awards we are doing I think it would look fine ... and it's one less thing to pay shipping on!...

Dee,

We got the sample set which includes some that are white and some that are black. I also engrave a red one with white exposed after engraving and it came out good. Sorry, forgot to take a...

We just finished etching a couple of the new JDS mugs that have a flat surface with rounded corners. We got the sample set. The mugs had some inconsistencies, and are far from perfect, but at the...

A quick question for those of you that have done a lot of awards. We have been asked to make 20 wood plaques with etched acrylic mounted to the top part of the plaque. They want their logo etched...

Hello my friends,

I've finished a couple of night stands for a client and now they want a lingerie chest. They have seen one similar to the one shown at this link where the drawers are square but...

Thanks for all the suggestions and for taking the time to explain how to assign the different colors to the curves. I am confident we can put more effort into our design and tweak our settings and...

Hi Scott,
I completely understand what you are getting at, but this is taking three letters and welding them all together with a border, so I'm not sure how I could then break that up into separate...

Joe,
That was exactly what I said when we were struggling with it. Then I started googling the topic and came across this picture of a snowflake laser cut out of acrylic. Of course there were no...

Hello everyone,

We have been working with a lot of acrylic lately and are attempting to do some detailed cutting of monograms. They are small, approximately 1.5 inches x 1 inch and we are using a...

We are looking into making some removable wall or glass vinyl graphics on our Universal. I've read a lot about the hazards and know not to use the typical adhesive backed vinyl sheets or contact...

Thanks for the response. We cut some yesterday and had the air assist blasting on high ... but it seemed to handle it well. I'll make sure to keep things clean.

A simple question I know ... And I've read the MSDS so I think we are good to go. I figured I'd ask you experts just to make sure! We are going to have to do a significant amount of cutting of 1/4"...

Thanks everyone. I'm glad to know I can likely swing by there after work and not pay shipping every time. I'll certainly look into it for our next order!

I just realized I'm not all that far from the Baltimore/D.C. JDS Inudstries warehouse. Does anyone know if you can go into these to shop for and/or pick up orders or is it just a shipping warehouse?...

Does anyone know why the laser bits website has been down for two or three days?

We finally took the plunge. Thanks to all of you who helped us get questions answered. You certainly were helpful in guiding us to what we feel was the right system choice.

We are now the proud...

We do have another option I did not mention. We have a one bedroom guest house attached to the one car garage/workshop. We use it for the occasional visitor and for an exercise room. I've...

I couldn't find much on this in the archives, so forgive me if it's a repeat question. We are still in the planning stages of setting up our first laser. We've narrowed down what we'd like to...

92/100 ... I'll call it beginners luck!

Thanks everyone for your inputs ... It seems as though I wouldn't need to add this to a Universal if that's the route I take. Our demo is tomorrow night, so I'm sure there will be more questions to...

Greetings everyone,

I've been a lifelong hobby woodworker which is what brought me to SMC a couple years ago. My wife and I have tossed the idea of a laser around for three years now, and are...
