Brent, good idea. Guess I'll have to try that method too.

Thanks, I did undo the belt and re-aliened the table. It was off a tiny bit, but I think it's right on now. You think they would come up with a limit switch, or a cap of some sort to prevent this...

Frank,
Thanks, it worked like a charm. Thank you ALL for your emails and support. This forum, and it's people are wonderful!

Thank you all for the emails and posts. I have not been able to fix it yet, but tomorrow is another day. It looks like the focus if fine, but the table might be off of the top track/screw.

The table on my Epilog Helix won't go down. Does anyone have any ideas? I called Tech Support, but it was yesterday, and the suggestion he made to loosen the belt didn't help. Of course since it's...

Those are very nice.
Did you mask several times for the different colored paint?

Hey Joe,

Yipes!
I'm sure glad you didn't ask me to help.....:D

Pat,
Not sure if this will work. It's a full body moose. Hmm....maybe I didn't attach it properly. When I preview it, there isn't an attachment. RATS!
I hope it comes out, it's a cdr file. ...

Sorry, I can't visualize this process, but my suggestion would be to raster and vector cut the front side, but leave a little when you're vector cutting. Then when you flip the whole board, you just...

Thanks for your suggestions.
I think I'll try George's idea of gluing two pieces together.
I don't have an outlet for Corian, as I live in a very rural area, and the cost might break the bank.

This plaque will be for an outdoor sign, to be hung above a friends shop. It's my gift to him. I don't care on the type of wood, just that it's ok for outdoor use, and engraves nicely.
Thanks for...

Any ideas where I could find a large plaque? I need a 18 x 24 if possible.
Forget me trying to make one.....I can't even stain a board correctly:mad:

Bill,

I'm not sure, but I think you have to be logged in to be able to download the files.
Enjoy your laser, and this is a great place to visit. Everyone here is A1.


Carla Lange

Thank you everyone. I just got into laser engraving and as you can tell know absolutely nothing about wood. I found some patterns for some little clocks made out of 1/4" Baltic birch. They looked...

Thank you for the information. I'll try it on the next sheet of plywood. I couldn't believe how blotchy my first attempt was!

Carla Lange

Would anyone have an idea how I can stain 1/4" Baltic birch plywood so it isn't blotchy looking? I've tried it twice, with the same results. If I sand it off again I'll be into the middle....

AAron,

That's nice to know. I've been out of it for quite awhile. Glad the prices have moderated a bit. Maybe I should look into it again, but with my laser printer and transfer paper.
...

I agree, Dye-Sub produces a colorful and beautiful project. However the special ink is VERY expensive, and you have to have a special printer (I think only Epson brands work) transfer paper, and a...

Phyllis,
Don't you hate it when everything BAD happens on the weekend? I thought it was just my luck, guess not. Sorry I can't really help, but I was wondering if by chance you have some type of...

Cool.....thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try it!:D

Barbara, did you send a picture of the heart you made? I can't find it.:rolleyes:

Carla

Thank you for all of your ideas. I guess the first step is to take a step backwards and take a deep breath!
I'm going to have to request a file format like ai or eps. I've tried to figure this thing...

Hi everyone, help is needed again.
I received some jpeg files of some drawings/plans of a part. This drawing has degree markings and several different shaped parts to it. My question is: How in the...

Well, I'm not having too much luck with the tape. I'm busy with other things now, but I'll give it ANOTHER try tomorrow. Thank you all for your help.


Carla

Thanks Joe,
Guess I didn't slow it down enough. I'll try again tomorrow.
I was just wondering if anyone had used the tape with good results.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

Carla
