I'm a nubie at laser machines. Ours is a Boss LS1630 located at our Woodworking Shop in Sun City Texas, a seniors community. It was recently added and the club members interests are dwindling as they find out the learning curve involved. I plan to persevere.

Have you per chance looked at any of Russ Sadlers Videos?

Thanks for the welcome. I've downloaded the revised manual. I wasn't having much luck with the version written in Chinalish. I've watched several of Russ's videos and plan to watch many more.
