    Re: Laser tube Wattage vs engraving quality

    Dual watt would be good for both worlds, I do know the higher wattage is not good for intricate engraving.

    Re: alarm 124 low battery

    That looks like the ideal set up.
    My OEM battery lasted over 12 years and was still going, I was just getting nervous about it failing so added a replacement to the extension plug.

    Wimpy original is correct, can't imagine this unit would not be great for a TM-1P and more then adequate to the output capability of this machine.

    Re: alarm 124 low battery

    Don't really know but seems doubtful, on the other hand, can't see where you'd have any manufacturers warranty left by the time it needed replaced.

    Re: alarm 124 low battery

    At the end of your video on replacement both the new and backup were hooked up then you unplugged the backup battery, that probably answers my question now that I think of it.

    Re: alarm 124 low battery

    Did you have a low battery at the time prior to the time while it was plugged in?

    I don't think there would be an issue mostly just playing it safe.
