| + | how do you achieve 1:1 match between the software interface and the bed, is that even possible? |
| + | talk about e-stop procedures and fire safety procedures |
| + | what are special or new considerations for lasering with the Boss that don't apply or didn't apply to the Epilog? |
| + | is there a document yet that anyone has made and could you share it please, with a rough draft for a guide to conducting authorizations? |
| + | if nobody else has one I will write and post a half-baked one based on what I know so far. |
| + | what are the top 3 videos or sites for advice about this stuff? most of the online content I have seen for Boss/RDWorks/Laserwors has been bad, exasperatingly wordy and annoying. I have not found any excellent resources yet. If you have them, post them. |
