Hello everyone...

Just a quick intro... I'm Mark, I run a small business and we manufacture craft kits for jewellery makers which we sell on shopping telly in the UK.

We have a few ideas for new products which the laser will help us with as we can create our own unique bits and pieces.

Just acquired a starter 'Chinese Blue' machine from ebay (£1088 delivered from Czech) and to be honest so far so good... We are going to update the laser tube to a better quality one and I've made a few safety mods (like earthing the case!). My background is a micro electronics engineer so all pretty straightforward to set up and manage software wise, etc

I have watched most of Russ's You Tube videos including the latest 'orange machine' ones and have been impressed by his tenacity :D
Best wishes
Mark Vardy

Welcome Mark- we are all disciples of Russ, and there is much to learn. I would encourage you to check out the FAQ section and record your machine perimeters if you have not done so, and please post pictures of what you are doing with the laser if possible as we all need encouragement now and then.
