Hi All.
I recently bought a second hand Bodor 60W laser. 600mm x 500mm. V5.00.28 software. I have some laser experience and many years of Coreldraw experience. It is great that there is such a forum and brilliant tutorial videos on youtube. Russ, your videos are brilliant. Thanks David

Welcome David- not sure how old your Bodor is? I would determine which controller you have [usually sez on the controller case] that will determine which software you can use. I 'think' that V5 would be a 320 Ruida controller. That software is pretty primitive compared to the later V8 versions. I would look to Lightburn's free trial software as I think now it supports the 320 and is far superior to the old RDworks software. We have a lot of info here [mostly pertaining to V8.xx] but will attempt to answer any questions you may have. Gene
