Greetings,
My wife and I are pyrogravure artists and have signed up for annual membership with a local makers space. They offer a brief training session on their 100w 3 x 5 laser and use RDWorks software. I'm joining this forum to gain as much knowledge as I can before diving into the world of laser cutting.

Thanks for posting all of this insightful information.

Welcome Paul [ and lady Sutton]- I burn wood too but more in the pyromaniacal mode I am afraid. There is a ton of info here, use what you can and then ask questions as they arise. Gene
