The last one that died on me was just like Rodne experienced -- dropped to about 1/2 power, and then that was it.

Prior to that, I had one that lost power more gradually (you'll notice it first...

Hi Walt --

I just asked someone at Trotec this exact question. According to Trotec, the higher the frequency for a given material, the slower it will cut. So, if you were cutting acrylic at 10,000...

Hi Mike -- the red vector line is coming through fine, it just seems to think there is an engraving there at first. For example, if I send a blank drawing over, it will think the whole thing is an...

Ok, I'm getting a lot better with this, and I'm trying to work around the quirkiness, but I'm running into some odd behavior that is bogging me down. So here's my latest question:

I have a file...

I've done them before by drawing a little grayscale gradient in Illustrator across the area I want the angle and then engraving that (the black part being the lowest part of the angle). It works in a...

I have been pretty disappointed with the documentation -- I feel like there may be a bit lost in translation from the German to the English manuals. Either that or I'm fairly certain I saw somewhere...

Ooh, I hadn't seen that "Outline" option -- that sounds really helpful. With the Universal machine, I used to just sorta click roughly at the edges of a given drawing, and then see where the pointer...

I had been using a Universal...

Hi Rodney --

I did have one other question that I must have put in my PM to Scott instead of up above.

On the Trotec site, they show an add-on for the 1500 called the heavy load table. There is...

Hi Scott --

Thank you so much! I got them a little while ago. I tried PMing you back, but wasn't sure if it went through.

I have worked with the lasermag before. I have a few notes:

- When you engrave, a lot of the black core residue comes up and can make quite a mess. So, you may want to mask the material first.

Does anyone happen to have a PDF or know a place online where I could find a manual or user guide for a Trotec SP 1500?

I guess in a pinch the Trotec SP 500 manual would work as well.

I'm doing...
