Thanks for the helpful videos and forum! I'm a boat kit manufacturer, and purchased a 100w laser to create 1/4 scale models to test the fit and buildability of the kits.

My biggest hurdle at this point is the poor documentation of RDworks.

Welcome Jeff- we have a chinglish to english RDw translation which may help? Also, a lot of us have converted to Lightburn software, their support is great and you can actually converse with them. A laser is a great tool for proof of concept models I have found. Be sure to save your machine Vendor files as they are commonly lost as we poke around with a new machine. Gene
