Hi Everyone,
Just placed the order for a Redsail M700 w/80W tube. I haven't received it yet, but I've got so many questions. I sure hope that some of you may help me !
Before I get started, I need to let you know that I have a CNC, a 3D printer and a lathe. I work in automation, so I should be able to understand your lingo, within reason....
For those who have ordered from Redsail, when you receive your cutter, what software do you get ? I read places where they mention Lasermate and some other Lasercut....Are we talking about the same product here ? Is this a software proprietary to Redsail or an independent product ? do you get a legit copy or a bootleg one ?
I saw that some of you were talking about a dongle....Will I get one or am I going to run in demo mode, with tons of restrictions ?
Anywhere I can download a demo version, to get familiar until I get my machine ?
Can I use that laser cutter with Coreldraw, and see it as a regular printer as my output ?
with an 80 Watt tube, what thickness can I expect to be able to cut, for material such as: MDF, ABS, Acrylic, Sintra, plywood, etc ... are there any material that I should avoid (toxicity of burnt material, poor result, etc ...) ?? Since it's Chinese made, I'm expecting that this 80 Watt might end-up more like a 60 Watt...Is that the case ?
How often will I need to replace the tube ? What about other consumable, such as mirrors, lens, etc ....
Redsail owners: any concerns that I should pay extra attention to ?
Waiting for that machine, I feel like a kid, waiting for Christmas !!! I will be counting the days !
