Why do you ask James ?
All the design and processing I do with other software.
I only use the laser software to talk to the laser .. just to send the cut file.

Re: Power drop
Check the condition of all mirrors and the lens.
there is a small chance there could be a problem with one of them, and they are warming up ?
It's free to check them , so worth a try !

Re: Any other software than Lasercut ?
I think most "upgrade" controller board have similar software
if you don't like it, just use it as a "driver" .. then use your favourite software for designing / laying out

which is what really matters
EDIT .. as long as you can hit mirror 1 dead center
