I live in Texas and I enjoy fixing things. I do a lot of construction and electrical work so I purchased a local 100W laser and fixed it up. Looking forward to learning. I went to school for Mechanical Engineering, dropped out the senior year (kids). I own a customizing business and a small construction business.

Welcome Travis, you sound like a handy man indeed. The laser should fit your skills well and I predict you will have a lot of fun. Please skim thru the FAQ section and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Gene

After rereading your machine info- I have a very similar machine and the larger cabinet machines have somewhat different issues, I have found. I have been modifying my machine for 3 years and it looks like I will be at it till the CV-19 gets me :twisted:.
