Anyone experienced with Laser Engraving? I have been laser engraving for some time now. However I am having trouble getting good engravings of photographs. With some experimenting I did a good photo of my dog. Then I wrote down the speed/power/mode,...etc. Today I can't even come close to repeating the same photo on the same type of wood. Any tips from experienced Laser engravers is welcome. My laser is an Epilog Helix 24. ... Thanks Josiah. I've never used the color tone tool. I'm using a recent version of Corel Draw. I don't have the Photograve software. Since have Photoshop, I did not see any reason to pay $500 for it. Guess I'll rethink that. As it is, I do this more as a hobby than a business. Work is very slow.

Can you efficiently cut MDF wood for a Subwoofer box using an Engraving laser? I work at an engraving company. We have a Laser machine that can cut straight through 2 inch hardwood in two passes. I have been planning a build for a custom subwoofer box and just now thought of how easy it would be to draw the designs in C.A.D. and use the laser to precisely cut the pieces. How will the MDF handle the heat? Would I have to use low power and make multiple cuts? I do however foresee a problem cutting angles on the edge *The 3/4" side*. I can always at least use it to cut the circle perfectly!

What are the insurance/tax implications for making and selling items from home? From what I have already learned, you can make items at home on a hobby basis without making the house insurance policy invalid. I am in the process of starting up a furnishings business, although so far I have not registered the business etc and I have not sold anything yet. I want to buy and use a laser engraving machine (the machine would cost about £14,000 to buy) at home in my garage because it would save me having to pay out lots of money on renting out an industrial unit. What I need to know is what exactly are you allowed to do on a hobby basis without affecting the insurance cover. The questions I have are: (1) Am I allowed to develop some items which I might sell at a later date when I finally officially start up the business? (2) Can you make and sell anything as long as it is not under a company name? (3) Are you not allowed to make and sell a single item under a company name without making the insurance invalid. One final question. (4) The laser engraving machine would be quite a large and expensive machine. If I made an insurance claim because for instance the machine caused a fire that damaged other items within the property, would the insurance company question the fact that I was saying I was using it on just a hobby basis. In other words does the size and cost of equipment used at home matter at all? What if I made a whole load of items and then stored them somewhere else, for instance in a storage unit. Then at a later date I started the business and sold them all. Would that be OK?

What will take crazy glue off of a silver locket without damaging it? I had the dumb idea of super gluing a picture into my locket. Well the picture faded and got messed up from it so I want to laser engrave my pic in it instead. What will take it off completely so that it's smooth again? It is .925 sterling silver. I don't want to ruin it. I've tried WD40 and soaking it in water but with no luck. What about acetone from nail polish remover? Will that work or will it damage my locket? What other solutions are there? If nail polish remover will work, how long should I soak it for?
