Hi

I am revisiting what became my favourite hobby after having to stop around 12-years ago due to moving to work overseas. I've been back a year or so and am just getting back to it.

I used to have a Rabbit 60w 9060 using Lasercut 5.1 and Leetro controller. Things have moved along a bit especially cost wise. These Chinese machines seem to be much more affordable now although I can't believe how much material costs have increased. Looking forward to settling back into engraving and cutting and learning more as I go along.
