My name is Steve Anderson. I have a 5030 - 40 watt laser form China that I have been using for about five years. I had been learned everything about this laser by trial and error. After getting my laser I realized I was going to need more help than the literature from China gave me. I found Russ and the RDWorks Learning Labs on YouTube. If I hadn't found these YouTube Videos I would be in a heep of trouble. Last week, I reset my factory reset control and cleared out my whole machine. What a mess! Thank You for RDWorks Learning Lab Session 77 to get me up and running again. I still have some issues with my laser so I took Russ's advice and joined the forum.
