Re: Circle / Squares not cutting true
is it possible that the X and Y axis are not perpendicular to each other? that would account for correct size vs out of square, and it would of course be more noticeable on larger items... There is probably a very long list of things that could cause this, and as I do not own the same machine, I wil...

Re: Drain while away?
Does keeping the chiller running stop freezing? (sorry if this is a stooooopid question )

Re: hi from szaxe
The BOFA, delivered from HPC was a touch under £1600 from memory... It was a big jump after investing in the laser... But it made sense to me as I did not want to annoy my usually friendly neighbours with the smell of burnt wood and cut acrylic....

It's not only the cost of the patent... But the potential cost of defending it, which CAN be orders of magnitude higher than the c...

Re: Newb alert - Difference in spec LS3050 & LS3060
Tim, Is there really any need for that demeaning attitude on what was otherwise a friendly forum? :?: Umm May I suggest I did not say this.... ;) I occasionally rename myself Tom... those pesky keys are pretty close... :lol: However, on this occasion... I do not think I have done anything wrong (wh...
