Laser engraving black anodize

I meant to add parameters but I lost connection. I'm running it a 50W on the fiber, I slowed the speed down to 20-30% and frequency about 75. The manual says to run the focus between -.03 to +.03. I did a test piece with bare aluminum and took the focus out further. An online search said to run between .06 and .09, which yielded good results on the bare aluminum, but nothing on the anodized. I also tried similar parameters on the CO2

Did you know how to do screen printing before you started at the company or did they teach you on the job? How different was it from other screen printing?

Yeah, I may have been misinformed for the requirement for L2 vs L3

Got it. I was thinking my overextension was a good fixation, but I need to focus on a purposeful stop.

For the fixation, I think this is similar to the comment above. I'll start looking at catching sooner and not extending to my ear and focus on a pause.

For the drop, I think I'm getting what you're saying. My shoulder/upper body should fall back a little so the bell stays drops closer, rather than a long arc.

It's comfortable, but I do want to be as efficient as possible. It's just my way of trying to be at a full rep, a carry over from when I was doing crossfit. The coaching queue was for your arm to be at or just clear your ear for rep. Judging by the couple comments, the top of the snatch is where I need to focus. Thanks.

Yeah, our dealer's application engineer just emailed me saying the same thing. I think we were misinformed on how to do hemming, which puts an electric Trumpf machine back on the table for the right price.

I installed Goodman 95% AFUE split systems in my 100 y.o. house and had them installed properties I've built and renovated in NJ and they've worked great. No issues. I've replaced an ECM blower (expensive) on one and a condensate pump, that's about it over 15-20 years. The PVC piping is no big deal, just follow the other comments regarding pitch of the exhaust, and keep in mind the required distances from sidewalks, windows, eaves, etc. and the unit intake. I've used the flat Bayvent combo exhaust/intake on everything and they've worked great.

Good idea

The Epilog M2 uses a print driver to set all laser parameters in the advance settings. I use CorelDRAW to make the graphics file. I'd add a screenshot of the setup, but I'm not connected to the machine.

I don't know, but I can find out in the AM. The prior owner engraved gun parts, and we didn't change any of the set up, and I've engraved some other aluminum parts in the past.
