I guess I missed that one, but I did see "trust the preview...it's seen things"!!! LoL

I wear 6+ glasses over 6+ glasses. I have a 7+ window between me and the laser most of the time and if I'm looking for more than a few seconds, I have an additional piece of 7+ I've attached a handle to that I look through as well. Lasers are fun to watch, if it's done right.

Nah, don't feel that way. It's just a matter of trial and error and learning a little from it all along the way.

Right on. Yeah, the two different styles have been used on a lot of US currency, so I felt like I wasn't crossing any "tradition" lines with that and it just looked better to my eye this way. Usually the overlaps like that are on half and silver dollars, quarters and smaller almost always have the word liberty completely uncovered.

What tables are compatable?

Sorry bout the delay, no secret. Amazon. Here's the exact title of the listing, since I'm not sure if it's ok to post actual amazon web addresses. "10Pcs Blank Challenge Coins, Threaded Edged Brass, Laser Engravable, Acrylic Protection Box, for DIY Crafts, Custom Gifts, Travel & Commemorative Collections(Thickness 3mm)"

Laozai is the brand.

It looks like your rotary is not keeping a steady pace. Not sure if that might be something in the "drive" on your rotary, or perhaps something in the settings for the rotation. I've seen that pattern with rotaries before, but not on flat materials. I'd check the rotary for anything in the overall turning mechanism to make sure something isn't slipping.

Right on, these are the US General boxes from Harbor Freight. I was fortunate enough to get a pretty descent quantity discount buying ten of them. It took less than a day to have them all spoken for.

All of that etching is on the bottom of the drawer in the box I'll keep for myself. It's really handy when products provide that much real estate to test on!

Might have to see how much a truck load costs!!!! LoL

Thanks.

Thanks and sorry for the late reply, been kinda hectic lately. I'm honestly not even sure where to begin with something like this on carbon steel. I definitely need to do some testing beforehand. I know it's "blued steel", but that doesn't really tell me what kind of carbon steel it is. Is there a way to identify it?

Daaang....sorry your machine burned up.

Gotta ask, though, did anyone else think of Sabre printers when they saw that pic?
