Hello family,

I am a recently retired systems analyst from a local university. My parents always complained that I took everything apart, but didn't necessarily put it back together again. The world of laser engraving/cutting fits nicely into that part of me. So this is my brain, welcome.

I just purchased an 80W Chinese laser machine from OMTech. I can't wait to get it set up and establish a base line. I look forward to sharing your thoughts as I explore this new world.

Best,
Bill Webster

Thanks, I'll do that as soon as I get the machine powered up.
