Stain only would not work as the ink would be almost impossible to remove. I use 3-4 coats of Semi-Gloss Polyurethane and everything outside of the engraving and cuts wipes off easily with a damp...

I have a source for 1/8 and 1/4 Russian Birch plywood sheets, no veneers. I get the 5x5 sheets cut in half so they slide right through the pass through doors on the laser. The sheets are prepped by...

Here are just a few of my recent projects using a Boss Laser.

I’ve only had my laser for about 4 months and I initially planned on it just being another tool for my retirement...

What plywood are you using? Can you also upload the .rld file you used so we can see the settings being used? That will help out the troubleshooting process quite a bit

I've been inspired by your enclosure design and plan on creating a similar setup especially using the combination of sliding and pivoting doors. Unfortunately I have never welded before so I am...

This is a Chinese laser built to their specifications. There are American made parts that are added at their warehouse along with them setting up and testing the machines prior to shipment. The...

I tried to order the 1620 recently but they are no longer importing that machine but still have it on their web site. I placed an order for it anyway and Boss Laser upgraded me to the 1630 at the...

Yes, an Epilog would be great if your budget allows for it. However good quality can be had with Chinese machines with a bit of research. I spent several months reading reviews, specs, and determined...

Check out Boss Laser. They showed us a model built by a Architect firm that was very nice using either the LS-1416 or LS-1630 model (don't remember which one)

I figured out that I wasn't copying the .rd file to the USB, just the .rdl. With that problem solved there was no problem reading the files from the USB. Like you said, the laser only uses 8.3 file...

It took 4 of us to get the laser down into the basement last night. It also required 3 doors to be removed and the removal of the door trim on the door at the top of the basement stairs (next project...

The 2 pallets showed up on the truck faster than expected! The driver was able to back up my driveway and delivered both inside the garage. Unpacked everything with no damage showing anywhere (very...

I think the local rental price is $125 a day. Pricy but easier than rounding up willing help! Today is delivery day, just waiting around for the truck to show up now. Moving the car out of the garage...

I found a place nearby that rents stair climbers. I think I'll get one once I get everything unpacked and ready to go to the basement. I don't know if I have any friends left after moving the mill...

I got a call from the trucking company, delivery is Aug 1st. This equipment is going into my basement, unfortunately I don't have a walkout basement so it will be coming down the stairs. This is one...

Got word that Boss Laser is ahead of schedule and my laser is being shipped with expected arrival next week. That means I have to get serious about cleaning out a space in the basement and getting...

After many months of research and figuring out what I needed and wanted, I decided to order the Boss Laser LS-1630 with 100w tube. The things that swayed me the most was the US based support, the...

So far V29 is working well for me. Only a couple of new projects under my belt but it did well. Sometime I have find some time to go through the new training videos to figure out how to do all those...

I replied several days ago but apparently it didn't save correctly. I re-selected the geometry and that corrected the problem. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for taking a look at the file. I will try the suggestion of re-selecting the geometry and see if that makes a difference.

I was out of town for New Years and got back to see the replies. Here is the BobCad file and generated code for the part. This is a very simple part that I thought would be a good one to design on...

The more I thought about it, I remembered that before my last computer HD gave up the ghost, I had purchased a license to G-Wizard Editor. I was able to install that again on the new computer and was...

I recently upgraded from V25 to V29 and am doing my first part with the new software. For the most part it is easy to use (I need to run through the video training soon) but I ran across an item I...

Thanks for the information! I'll give them a try this weekend and see how it goes. I checked the VGA cable, no problems with the pins that I could see.

I installed PathPilot and found that the monitor display was cutting off a large portion of the display. I used the SHIFT-ALT to get to the main desktop where under the video settings it is...

I'll be there again! Had way too much fun last year not to go again. The problem with going is seeing all the stuff I want, hope the wife will agree to some purchases.

I used NAPA also for the acid, I was thinking more along the lines of all the large tanks needed, the size of the power supply and heating the dyes and sealer as expensive. I have a fairly small...

I have a multi color anodizing lab setup in my basement. This is a process that you can do at home but I would recommend a professional shop for the size of pieces you are talking about. It is best...

there were a couple turrets there but they weren't on the lathe they were using for the demos. They only talked about them in the context of the ways to hold tools.

The open house was today and everyone I talked to had a pretty good time. The new building is very nice and the opportunity to see all the machines and accessories was great. There were several demos...
