    Necessity is the mother of invention, but I think I'd refrain from putting lead in a vessel that will be holding beer.

    Do you know if such a machine exists Gary, or would that be a custom build from someone like Jimani? I'm still doing lots of 20" x 42" stainless panels and they are a real pain. Good money, but a...

    Ok, finally figured out where pulses per round is entered. Didn't see the param tab. Mine is set to 12800.
    Here's what the manual says about pulses per round. I'll keep digging to find the...
  5. Any advice for marking YETI style tumblers with a fiber rotary?

    It's actually a powder coated RTIC but I can't seem to get rid of the split lines. It's tapered so it has a changing diameter so I'm not sure which rotary parameter to use. I've tried RotaryMark...

    Interesting. With those extra mounting holes it looks like it's made so you can rotate the head in 45 degree increments. I'm wondering if you can extend the tube or if it's collimated at that...

    I would think a 24 x 24 piece of solid maple wood would be pretty susceptible to warping. Check the distance from the lens to the material in all corners, not just the distance to the table.

    I still get my best mark on aluminum with 60mm/sec 100%power and a freq. of 30 (30watts). 90 degree hatch, one pass with .05mm spacing with no wobble. Wobble seems to make the mark bolder and...

    I mainly make black marks on stainless so I just got a fume extractor like you use at a soldering station. When I needed to do a job that actually engraved into the metal I noticed smoke and debris...

    I recharged my tube last year and was told they typically don't lose power gradually but go to about half power rather suddenly, which is what mine did. My rep is pretty close so I grabbed his meter...

    The easiest way to find the correct focal point is to click the box in EZCad that says Mark Continuous, then mark your piece while watching and listening. The proper focal point is when the flash is...

    Like Gary said, basically the laser itself is the dongle. You need to have the laser running and connected to the computer for EZCad to work. I'm running it on a

    Two years ago (before I had my fiber) I managed to develop a macular hole. I think I was 47 at the time, so relatively young for such an anomaly. Even after surgery, I have a little scar tissue...

    Someone recommended NOIR for laser glasses. They have many lenses and frame styles. I got a pair that fit over my glasses. You get a 20% discount if you order over the phone rather than the web so...

    I've cut G10 with my 30 watt and it wasn't pretty. Expect lots of smoke and black, gnarly edges. Mask first.

    Agreed. This tip from Gary shaved a ton of time off a very large project. I'm actually still running it and I can't imagine how long it would take at .02mm. I liken the hatch spacing to DPI. You...

    Tips on "erasing" Cermark mistakes?

    Does anybody have any good tips for removing/polishing Cermark mistakes? The parts I mis-marked are polished stainless and I don't want an obvious scrub mark. I have removed Cermark before but I'd...

    I'm trying to figure out a way right now. I'm getting a lot of metal work that would be more suited to a gantry system, like 20" x 34" stainless plates that need marks in several locations. Even...
