* The lasercutter is unhappy, here are its symptoms: | |||
** Power varies during a job, regardless as to where on the bed it is cutting. | |||
** If the cutter is paused for ~1min and started again the resulting power output will be noticeably higher. | |||
** The exhaust water is flowing slowly, crap was removed from the flow, it now is back to full water power. | |||
* I am awaiting for a call from hpc laser | |||

Just to agree with Mark (below). I've spent about 4 hours over the last few days trying to get some settings that will cut 4mm laser ply. In the past, I have managed it in one cut! Now I can't do it with 8 passes! | Just to agree with Mark (below). I've spent about 4 hours over the last few days trying to get some settings that will cut 4mm laser ply.

* The laser cutter <b>will not cut</b> 4mm ply. It won't even scorch the bottom of the wood after 4 passes at speed 3 (and it's hard to tell whether it's cut or not without moving the target). I assume Z axis fiddling is required, but until a decent process is worked out, I've written a warning on the speed chart. | * The laser cutter <b>will not cut</b> 4mm ply.
