Re: MDF

I would buy MDF that is specifically marketed for laser cutting.

It's cheap as fook online so you'd be a fool not to.

LaserCut 5.3 Shortcuts

Just accidentally discovered that ctrl+G opens the size/scale options in LaserCut.
This will shave seconds off my processing times so thought I'd share.

Any other useful LaserCut shortcuts?

Re: Fume Filtering

Hi James, Thanks very much for taking the time to reply and with such good answers. I mostly cut Perspex branded and glitter acrylic but have recently been doing a littlebit with walnut/cherry/maple veneered MDF so have to factor that in although it isn't a lot.

Fume Filtering

Hello once again! We're moving and for my new workshop I'm going to have to get some kind of filter due to having a few neighbours who might be upset with plastic stink floating about (have you ever cut blue Perspex? Smells like drains!). Looking at the IQ BOFAs but want some advice if there's any a...

Re: Z Axis Slipping

I'd hope not after just a year.

Re: Is Lasercut or Newly draw single user Licence ?

Is there such a thing as 'single use software'? If I bought it then it's mine to sell and to hell with your convoluted terms and conditions. Software licencing is a strange beast at the best of times. This reminds me, when I sold my 3040 the guy said he didn't need the dongle/software but for some s...

Z Axis Slipping

Ayo, been a while I know.. been keeping busy and not much to report. Need some advice though, the Z Axis on my machine has always occasionally had a bit of a groan but since a couple of days ago almost constantly grinds and makes a terrible noise while not doing much. If I open the front door and as...
