Perhaps you need to make a plate of some kind that fits into the clamp and covers the work area that you can leave in place. That plate could be left in at all times and could have rulers mounted along the edges that you push your material up against. <hr /><a name="a6066_52"></a><p><b>From: sroehlk (ELECTECH1)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6066.52">#52</a>]<br /> 18 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6066.51">#51</a>] 18 Mar 2007</p> <p>If there is a jig or frame it has not been offered to me. </p> <p>The clamp is poorly designed, the springs don't even allow the clamping bar to go all the way to the end of the opening.

This is a Chinese machine, built by the direct competition of the company I bought from. I checked both of them out before buying. I suppose it is my duty to give you all the in-depth treatment of my machine... I suspect it will be time consuming, but as a thank you to all who have helped me I will do it! I'll start a new tread in the next few days.</p> <p>Oh, buy the way I have it on good authority that a company from the good ol' US of A is getting ready to enter the laser engraver market -- it sounds like the bridge between cheap Chinese and expensive main stream may be upon us. I don't want to step on any toes, so I'm not saying anything else about it yet.</p> <p>Ron</p><hr /><a name="a6066_55"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6066.55">#55</a>]<br /> 13 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: ab_laserart</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6066.54">#54</a>] 13 Apr 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">I don't want to step on any toes, so I'm not saying anything else about it yet.</div><br /> <br /> Ron,<br /> <br /> We wear steel-toed boots around here. :-)<br /> <br /> Looking forward to your observations on the Chinese laser equipment. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6066.1">1-10</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6066.11">11-30</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6066.31">31-50</a>  51-55</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
