Hi there, I'm Ken - I live in South Wales in the UK.
I have been woodworking and the such for about 20 years now and have just got into the laser engraver/cutting school of things.
Spent a lot of time on the lathe, fretsaw and pyrography and am looking to make a change in my workflow to allow laser engravers to enhance the work I do.
I noticed a post on here relating to the Gold method for photoshop to enhance images for engraving and could not see the zips so I have subbed to this forum.
Hopefully should be a smooth transition and looking for any assistance possible.
I have just picked up the Ortur master 2 pro with air assist and what I've tested seems to be OK, just need to get it looking better.

Vendor settings are the values in the controller that define your machine settings.....speeds, velocity, timings, etc
