    define not just quickly but clean edge... As others mentioned, you can cut 1/2" with a 75W RF laser but you will be pushing its limits with max power and a pretty slow speed setting. The edges will...

    Did you see the machine working before you took possession? Has it ever worked since you set it up?

    Since it runs as if it is working, but the laser itself isn't working, the likely suspects...

    I took the auto focus thing off my mini within a few weeks of buying the laser and never looked back. While the auto focus may be fine for most sheet goods, it's not good for knives, flasks,...

    I know nothing about IS200 or IS400, but you say that IS400 uses a parallel port. However, you then say that you "ticked Pooling and gave different Com"... Parallel ports and Com ports are...

    Depends on whether you are trying to keep the symbol approximately the same size (in which case Kev's suggestion could work) or simply scale up the symbol until the circle thickness is as desired (in...

    I realized at some point that tracing an entire symmetric image was (more than) double the work needed. First, you are tracing both sides and then you are tweaking them to get a good match. Easier...

    I use "regular" metal ones, no idea who made them at this point. They don't need to be perfectly air tight because, when the exhaust handler is on, it is sucking air from laser(s) and down the pipes...

    You can probably Y them together but I'd suggest inserting a blast gate where each laser is connected to the Y. That way, you can simply close the gate on the idle laser and open the gate on the...

    The white paper basically says to open the compressor valve three full turns. Before seeing that, I spoke with their Trotec rep and he said that "most customers just open the valve wide and leave it...

    Speedy 300 air assist

    Someone I've helped in the past with laser issues recently destroyed their Universal laser when an (unattended!) acrylic cut job caught fire. Fortunately for them, the damage was contained to the...

    If I were doing it, I'd do it with my UV printer but, since you say you want to embed it in a sheet substrate, I'd probably just print directly onto that substrate and avoid the need/time/expense of...

    If you don't have any paperwork that came with the laser telling you what the tube is, you can always pull the panel off and look for the label that will be on the tube.

    The Epilog is plumbed for air assist but needs a separate, user-supplied air compressor. When looking at the laser from the back side, the air assist input is at the upper left corner.

    If it cuts through consistently, then that sounds pretty good. I'd have guessed 15-17 speed, 100 power, 500f for a 35W Epilog when cutting 4mm plywood. Typically, you can cut faster but won't...

    You mention that the nose piece is getting hot. As others have said, that could be caused by the beam hitting the cone. One way that happens is that the mirrors (especially the final mirror) are...
