Hey from Lafayette Colorado!

Hey everyone,
I came across your forum when I was searching for a solution to make cleaner washers while cutting 1/8" delrin. I was experiencing some little imperfections where the circle would start and stop - making my little round washers have a slight "bump". There was a thread with exactly what I needed, so thank you!! I never knew about the in-cuts and out-cuts features in RD works.

I bought a "no brand" machine from ebay a couple years ago and have been getting pretty proficient on how to use it. My workplace, SparkFun, has a really nice Epilog machine, and so when the pandemic hit, I no longer had access and looked into getting something for my personal use at home.
Most of my experience while starting out with laser cut projects was for test jigs used in production.

Lately, I've been cutting a lot of parts for a custom aerobatic RC glider.

Looking forward to learning more - thanks for all the great info here.
Cheers,
Pete
