Hi Davo, my machine is still for sale. It's a 4x8 2005 PRT Alpha with 40 watt laser mounted on the 2nd Z. It's mounted in the vertical and can travel the 4x8. I'm selling the turnkey package for...

Michael - I have a 40 watt Universal mounted in the vertical on my Bot on the second Z. A while back I did laser etch into some metal...and I don't believe it had any coating on it. It's back at...

Brady,
I have not experimented yet with using tabs in Alum - but my RhinoCAM only allows me to pull up, move over, then plunge down and not ramp on tabs. My previous experience with Alum was...

Jeff - the other decent coolant is Unist Cool Lube 2210. Doesn't have the properties like WD or oil based that will soak into spoilboard.

Dana - not sure I can be much help...I had a tech guy integrate my laser. But certainly - if you have specific questions - I can try to answer them or post pics.

I believe it was Brady in a...

David - does it travel up and down in Z - as it moves in X and Y? What I was thinking - was cutting topographical 3d maps in wood and then taking the extracted image from the web and then going back...

Tim - I believe you might into copyright/liability issues with someone just supplying you toolpaths. You might have to invest in proper CAM software to create these, especially if you're running...

Ed - first let me say - I am no expert on Cut3d. Brady is correct - Cut3d is limited in it's tool pathing. Cut3d will still treat your hollow sections as hollow in the exhaust sections - as shown...

Ed - I sent you an e-mail.

Ed - I have Graphite and can open *.vlm & *.vc6 files. Additionally - I have Rhino and RhinoCAM and a demo version of Cut3d. With that being said - I believe you will still need a solid to...

So I would like to jump in on this too. My machine has a tendency not to come off the prox switches correctly and exactly each time....maybe as much as .125 in. I have most of my prox cable...

Steve - do you have RhinoCAM Pro? I only have standard....and as a practice session - I also was playing around with this both in Rhino & RhinoCAM.
Tom

Jack - I have something close - but not sure how to send stl - on a PM.
Tom

Danny - attached is a quick overview of PhotoGrav. I used AI to fill the letters...saved it as a BMP....imported into PhotoGrav. From there you send it to the laser. Just another software option...
