Thanks Tony that's exactly what I was looking for. The sample is in the laser right now running a test grid
I'm looking for a place to buy engravable bricks. I remember reading about them in here years ago but can't find any references for them anymore.
I went ahead and purchased a 600 grit CBN wheel. I use it strictly for sharpening. It gives me an incredibly sharp edge, but it is not for grinding. For grinding I still have an 80-grit white wheel...
Thanks to all that helped out here. You were all very helpful and insightful, and it made the task much easier than the guessing game I was facing at first. I wound up running at 1 pass at 400mms and...
Hello Everyone
I am getting ready to engrave some Polar Camel cups from JDS ind. They are pretty much the same as any other brand of stainless-steel cup. I'm using an Omtech type CO2 80-watt laser...
I also have one of these Chinese lasers with the Ruida controller and I want to be able to find this thread if I ever have this kind of problem
Thanks

Congratulations Mike
I have 3 grandchildren ages 11, 10, 3, and one due in January. Grandkids are the reward for parents not killing and eating (in jest lol) their teenage offspring.

YES MIKE, below that circle is a light grey chevron style arrow pointing from left to right. It opens a call-out box with several options. One of them is a tiny little paint bucket with a menu next...
I remember that icon from C4 and I'm sure that's the one, but all I have in C8 is the small paint bucket. I checked the expansion menu and turned on all of the options but still no icon. Next I went...
Hi Mike
Good to hear from you again and so quickly. It isn't in either one of those (at least in the version I have). In Corel 4 there was a little triangle in the corner and when you clicked on it...
Way back when I was using Corel Draw 4 I used to use a texture and shading tool that was found in the tool box along the left edge. I'm using Corel 8 now and I can't seem to find that tool. There was...
Thanks to everyone. These suggestions were definitely helpful.

I'm looking for a source for some thin (about 3mm or less) flexible plastic. Polypropylene or something like it that's very thin and flexible and can be cut with scissors or paper cutter.
I'd...
I just purchased a new 80 watt laser on eBay. It came with RDWorks as it's control program but I have read many threads about other control programs. What I would like to know from you professional...
OK. The machine is here and hooked up. I have a CW5000dg chiller on order. In the mean time I would like to start using it with my ice bucket method just to begin learning how it works. I am...
I see what you mean with the water bucket. Its exactly what I have in mind to use. I will plan that chiller in to my upgrades as soon as I have cash to make it happen. Since this is a new machine...

Can you tell me more about the chillers. Why the cw-5200. It looks to be one of the more expensive ones available. I intend to have a large (about 8 gallon) reservoir that I can ad ice to if I...
Thank you everyone for your post, there all very helpful. Steve the controller link was especially helpful.
I have used Corel draw for years and plan to continue using it. I have seen that Corel...
I'm still looking at the eBay lasers and the only big difference I can see is in the controllers. One of them is listed as a "DSP" controller, the other is listed as a "Ruidia" controller by RDWorks...
I currently have a Universal VLS-230 30 watt laser.
Its been a great little money maker but the tube is needing to be re-charged again. That's another $1000 into this machine. I have been seriously...
I also tried doing traces of imported pictures but they were not useable. I even tried using the traces to draw from but I just couldn't get them quite right. Kev is on the right track though. He...
WOW thats incredible. I messed with drawing one for hours and you knocked it out in your spare time. You obviously have a much greater depth of knowlege and skill using Corel than I do. Most of the...
Thank you Kev
I have tried to draw it myself several times but I could never get the lock (what you have in red) to look right. The radiused wings would not line up to my satisfaction. Thank you so...
Thanks John
I've used the trace function many times but I never come up with the level of detail that I really need for this project. I've also tried a full redraw but it's so time-consuming that I...
