Greetings All,
My name is York an I'm from Virginia. I recently purchased a 50w 500x300 unit. I was really disappointed with the lack of direction provided from the manual and my opinion immediately changed after watching a couple of the videos from Russ! THERE IS HOPE YET! Thanks again for the add to the group!

Just did! Very informative! After looking at the unsafe materials list I'm a little bummed I can't use the laser on Marine starboard since it's HDPE...

If you have a scrap of starboard, I would try to cut it. I buy .25" recycled HDPE and while it is not the best of cuts, it is also not the worst. I hear a lot about starboard but have never seen it in real life [that I know of anyway]- a lot of sign makers love it.
