Re: Setting list for cutting materials?!?

Hi Rebecca,
All the power on the 3020 is set on the ammeter,
The power settings box doesnt affect the machine, only the speed.

Re: Rubber Stamps

Hi Ive recenyly bought some 3mm rubber that is laserable from Chris at HPC it does not get sticky when engraved.
It also doesnt smell as bad and stamps well if you use the grade engrave option on lasercut.This tapers the edge to the letter giving straight edges when stamped.
Hope this helps
Bob :D

Re: Laserscript 200 x 200

Hi John,
Yes they can cut tufnol but it stinks and the finish depends on the grade of tufnol.
Accuracy would not be a problem you may need to start on the 3040 or 3060 power with air assist.
Send HPC some bits they will normally sample....
