Re: Out on medical leave

I wish you the best, Rich. Once they start cutting into the back, it will never be right again. I am told by people who have been through the process ... "Don't have back surgery unless they take drag into the operating room screaming in unimaginable pain!" Yes, they dragged me into the O...

Re: Advertised Laser cut files----good or stay away?

Remember, when you buy these pirated bundles, you're buying stolen files from me and many other designers that do this for a living.

Re: Problems with 80W CO2

Go into your device settings and make sure you are set to mm/sec. If that's not the problem, you'll likely need to contact OMTech to get the password for the Ruida controller to do a complete reset.

Re: Upgrade

Has anyone had any problems with the newest upgrade (1.7.06? Mine is working fine but I'm wondering if I want to take the chance to update or wait for a bit just to be safe?
