Hi there
I've just bought some Laser MASK from HPC and was wondering if any of you had any experience with it?

Any useful tips like amount to put on, best thing to apply with, best way to get off etc would be great,
thought i'd wait for a few tips before I plunged in ......

Cheers
John

You know it had to be something that simple!, The manual I printed out was pretty much a waste of paper and I couldn't find any info on the www for what I was asking, however this now leads me to more questions...sorry! -Lets say I'm using the same file but I want one engraved in a specific area ('i...

Do you mean setting the datum?, if not then no!

Hi I want to use a piece of acrylic in a fixed posistion on the bed as a template for several shapes I will constantly be engraving, this will enable me to cut the shapes out of the acrylic and in the future just open my saved file with all the shapes on, put whatever shape i'm doing into relevant s...

Well it lasted nearly a week! I've done loads of engraving with speeds from 200 upto 350, I've re-alligned the beam after finding that it was stronger at the back than the front, I was pretty happy till tonight, I did some random engraving as i'm still playing about with the machine and back came th...
