I ended up buying a 2.5" lens. The Universal Laser lens selection article says it has a tolerance of .15" I focused it, then brought the lens about .085 closer. In theory that would give the the...
Thanks to all for the responses. I did a test engraving on one edge and it seems to engrave just fine. The issue I am dealing with now is the curvature of the window. Unfortunately, the design...
I need to engrave a 747 window as part of a retirement plaque (using a CO2 laser). It is polycarbonate, which I think may be difficult to engrave well (not to mention dealing with the slight...
Martin - I am using Corel X3 and it is in the Object Properties, on the tab that is used to set the line thickness, style and color. There is a checkbox to "Scale with image" I think that will do...

Robert - I have a Universal M-360 and Corel X3. I always use the color mappings to determine what cuts first. I make the power settings for red and blue the same and use red for my inner cuts and...
Joe - I have done a number of slices of Brazilian agate. They have all given a nice white mark like marble. I did the first ones as souvenirs from a Black Hills trip and was kind of let down to...

I have an adhesive question that is not exactly engraving connected but I know of no greater pool of knowledge than here on the Creek.
I have a friend who does a lot of work with handblown glass...
Dee- Thank you very much for the information. The manufacturer had sent me a very small sample, a 6" hexagon, and I wanted to experiment but with that small a sample, there wasn't a lot of space for...
Has anyone used the Acrylite Radiant acrylic? It seems almost mirrored on both sides even though it is actually transparent. The manufacturer's literature says it can be machined, thermoformed and...
