Al,

Would you please describe your process using Photoshop for converting a picture to engrave? I'd like to follow it carefully and compare it to the results I get with Photograv. Thanks.

You may want to check the specifications page in your laser manual. My manual states an operating temperature range between 50F and 90F, and 73F to 77F for best performance.

I think you'll find that a mini CNC machine is a better choice overall. Google a guy named John Kleinbauer and CNC and you'll find a web site with DIY plans and plenty of information to consider....

Hey, I used to work with a guy with that name!



At least for me, one of the things that keep me from actually reading a manual lid to lid is those very useful "Quick Start" guides. For me, the...

I purchased my copy for $395 -- the best (only) price I found.

It's worth mentioning that, while not a small amount of money, it's a lot cheaper than the number hours you would spend tweaking...

Just got back from our Home Depot. I asked one of the fellows there if he could point me to where they had the stuff. He looked at me like I was an alien. (I seem to get that these days.) Oh well....

Ah, more fuel for the fire. :)

Anything about the CarveWright rubs you the wrong way? The software seems awfully easy to use. I fired it up and created things without reading the help manual. (I...

I'm patiently waiting for someone to call me back (or return my email.) I contacted them late Friday, so I'm guessing it'll be Monday before I hear back.

I sent my dad to the web site -- he wants...
