Hi All I am new to laser works and enjoying it. Have the family involved. We are in a small city Bunbury in Western Australia. e are still learning the ropes on the machine I have, JNLink 150Watt with a bed size 1200mm x 900mm. Can cut steels up to 2mm thick but does use a large amount of oxygen. At the moment we are starting to do a lot of work with fonts on wood making plaques etc.

That looks like a serious machine, I have a 1300x900 130w but does not cut metal. I am interested in the differences with the heads that are metal cutting as I am considering a new larger machine. I am not sure that it would be worth it to me, doing the work I do. Thanks Gene

You might try a trial of LightBurn software which is better on most features than RDworks and not at all expensive.
