Hi guys new to the scene - literately. The wife and I bought a established trophy/awards business in August and hit the ground running. I have 22 years in the Tool and Die field and just got burned out after working up to project manager in a large job shop - loved the work - just no reward for it.
Anyways the shop has a new Epilog 75 watt 36x24 and a older Xenetech 16x25 rotary. I am use to running MasterCam X5 so this Corel threw me some wrench's! The Xenetech is a old window's 98 operating software and I just have not got the understanding of doing layout, merging in functional images, etc. I can do alot on it - but there is a ton I can't. It does not have a rotary table with it either.
Money's tight but I think I want to look for a newer rotary engraver that has software that is more user friendly - or easier to learn. Any suggestions??
The business was a Mother daughter run show as the Dad died 4 years ago. I paid the daughter to stay on for a month but I let her go 2 weeks into it - with full pay for the month - as we had a serious personality clash. I could understand some of her emotions of letting the family business go, but man she had a Diva attitude!! So needless to say - self learner here!! Youtube to the rescue!!
Thanks for any input, Jeff Greer
