Hi! I have been following Russ on utube, so I just had to join. I have used my laguna 10 cnc for the last 5 yrs. Vetric software exports dfx and Ai . So a 50w hobby laser is what I am learning to use now. Thanks for all the good info! John

Welcome John- I believe Shenhui to be a premium laser builder and hope you are happy with it. Did you import it or buy from a US dealer? Read all you can and then ask any questions that remain. Gene

John -I use Aspire as well. It is much better to design and draw in than RDWORKS. I prefer ai format as there is not distortion with small parts.
Russ increases his dxf designs by a factor of 10 prior to importing into RDWORKS due problems he experieced with small parts.

Gene - Bought my laser from Globalfreeshipping on Ebay. They shipped from Memphis and I got it in about a week. So far no problems.
