Hello Everyone!

I am new to laser engraving. I have a 50w co2 mophorn chinese laser that I am learning day by day. My goal is to create an additional stream of income for my family with this laser. I love learning so this machine has kept the wheels turning since day one.

Welcome Kyheka- there is money to be made with these machines, you just need to find your interests and niche. In the meantime please record your Vendor files [FAQ has details] these are often lost in the early days. Gene

Welcome Kyheka. Be sure to backup the vendor settings. We have a revised manual that may be of some use - it has not been revised to be consistant with the most recent version of RDWORKS but it does explian quite a bit.
