  1. Re: A warning about the redsail x700 60w machines on ebay right now.

    Here are all the passwords I've collected over the years for DSP's. Note that sometimes uppercase/lowercase letters matter. Yeah I ran into the same problem with changing it to English. Just remember...
  2. Re: A warning about the redsail x700 60w machines on ebay right now.

    Your problem is the connection. Don't use that terminal block or you'll crack the tube easily if you tighten too much. Also don't solder the connection or you'll crack the tube. In theory most people...
  3. Re: A warning about the redsail x700 60w machines on ebay right now.

    Mine came with this style fan. It's very powerful and very loud. It also draws so much power that it's what melted the e-stop switch on mine, so if you don't plan on rewiring it then you should NOT...

    Re: 100W Reci Tube Installed in Redsail X700

    I finished it and I've just been tuning and testing but so far, so good. Be ready for some time and some serious modifications if you end up going down the path I did.

    Re: 100W Reci Tube Installed in Redsail X700

    For those who have the motor and drag chain in the way like I did. I finished moving mine last night and it wasn't so bad. I was able to turn the drag chain around without removing all the wires and...

    Re: 100W Reci Tube Installed in Redsail X700

    Question about your laser power supply. Were you able to fit your new power supply in the same spot or did you relocate it? My new power supply is 12.5" x 6" and it seems like I'm going to have a...
  9. Re: A warning about the redsail x700 60w machines on ebay right now.

    Re: 100W Reci Tube Installed in Redsail X700

    I think the M700 and X700 are mostly the same machine. My cutting area is 700x500 which seems like it's the X700 since it also has the same base as well. It looks like your motor is reversed and...

    Re: 100W Reci Tube Installed in Redsail X700

    I'm about to do the same upgrade but I was curious how you dealt with the Y-Axis motor. From what I've seen an 80w tube would bump into the y-motor. Here is a picture of my 55w (They claim it was a...
