Bert,
You should call Rabbit, they should be able to provide the info you need.

If you are going to attach medals to ribbons, you should add a small amount for the service.

Medals generally come in cello packs. Use the packs for the completed medal/ribbon.

Bert,
Bitmaps do not vector cut (there are no vector lines to cut). Bitmaps only engrave. I am not sure what you want to cut (my guess is the shape of the arrow head). If that is so, you need to...

OMG. Marshall Matt has killed Festus.

No, that's Dave.

You may want to think twice about stocking a spare tube. At best, it may well be out of warranty before you need to use it. At worst, it may be dead before you need to use it. You should be able...

Right at the top of my supplies list is a big bottle of Everclear. It cleans almost anything, just put a little on a soft rag and then take a big swig to help with quality control.:)

Or just convert your original to a 1 bit bmp file and raster away.

Check your door magnet switch and your emergency stop button on the machine.

Lord, please don't let my customers take over. I can hardly deal with them as is.

I realize this thread was not meant to be funny, but I just can't the pictures out of my mind of Bernie ambling along with 3 or 4 arms and legs or Tim trying to climb up on his chair after having...

Unfortunately, Kevin's comments are what you get when the responder is more interested in selling lasers and subscriptions for "ball park" settings for high value materials than answering questions....

John,
While you cannot SAVE a jpg file using Corel Draw, you can EXPORT the file as a jpg file.

Make sure your backlash settings are correct if you are engraving bi-directional.

Graham,
It depends upon the machine that you have. Other machines will likely have different procedures.

Mike,
If you are using a bucket and pump setup, just get a couple of plastic quart (or so) water jugs and pop them in the freezer. When you are ready to use the machine, grab one and put it in the...

Dave,

Before you make your final decision, I would recommend that you give Ray Scott at Rabbit Lasers a call. I know he stocks a reasonably small 30w laser and the price is less than $5000 not...

You should do a search on Sawmill for Access Usedlasers. That name appears among the testimonials on the Usedlasers.com site you listed above. Draw your own conclusions.

Buy a pint of Everclear at the liquor store. If you are not happy with the job it does, just drink the rest.

I have never seen any negative comments about Ray Scott with Rabbit. I did not buy from Rabbit, but I now wish I had (who would have thought that a Hurricane in Las Vegas would blow away my...

This could be as simple as your table not being level. Have you carefully measured the distance from the lens or lens mount on the gantry to the table at all four corner points and seeing if they...

I assume that the file is a raster (bitmap) format. If so, yes it will get blurry when you enlarge it. How blurry depends on the resolution dpi of the file in the original size and how much you...

Mike,
I would see if the engineers can convert the text to curves before saving the file as a DXF.

Or you all could be like me. My work is so shoddy that no one dares give us any awards or write glowing articles.

Don't worry about the resolution. You can raster engrave at 300dpi and it will look great. There will rarely be a need for higher than that and if there is 500 or 600 should suffice. In most...
