Hi all,

I am new to this forum. I have just brought a laser etching machine from China. Its a model 1310, voltage 220v and laser power 90w if this helps.

Managed to set this up and get it working with some trial and error.

The lifting table (sorry, no good with the technical terms) does not lift a stone ( I am using this for etching headstones) which was the first big problem.

The next problem is each etching is turning out differently even on the same settings. PPI I put at 100, power 60 and speed 60.
The first one was a complete washout, totally white with no definition. The second run on the same setting didn't show up at all.

Now I am completely stumped. Is there anything I should check?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thank you
