Hi Everyone,
New to CO2 Lasers and what a learning curve this has been. Laser journey started with 10w diode but when that wouldn't etch clear acrylic I was able to find a used OMTECH 60W CO2 Laser. Somewhat used and abused but was able to get it back to a point where it was usable but the engraving is not great. Hoping to be able to find the vendor settings for this laser as I think I may have some settings that are out of whack. Thank you for letting me join the forums. So much to learn and looks like there is a lot of great information here.
Happy New Year!!

We usually advise folks to backup their vendor setting but It seems you already know the value of that - the link below might prove useful - be sure to back up what ever you are using before you "fix" it - no telling if these are exactly what you need or not.
