Thanks for letting me know. It's actually 17 min long, but I just switched to a new video editor and I need to figure out how to delete the extra time at the end.
Hey Jim, What about using the laser to lightly etch the board where the letters go? I did that with some islands on a map project I did, worked out pretty well.
Funny, I almost did that too. In fact, I think next time I will go that route because it won't be visible and doesn't require cutting and aligning any template material. Did you etch it the same exact size so that the etch was basically hidden by the lettering, or make it slightly bigger to be able to see it better when aligning?
@@JNWoodworks For my use I just did the same size, I didn't need it to be 100% exact. If you did it light enough you wouldn't see if on that dark stain if you did it a bit bigger.
Hi! Did you find any solution to the Mach4 laser issue when rastering with the M2003 macro? The issue with needing to use a G4 P2 delay inbetween all the laser starts and stop? It is slowing my rastering down a lot, but it works of course.. thanks for the good videos!
Do you mean vector work? The rastering only has a couple of the G4 commands in the Gcode so it doesn't really affect it. The G4 P2 that I have in the post processors is only 2 mS, so it shouldn't make much of an addition to execution time. I haven't tried removing that for over a year. It's very possible with the latest Mach4 and ESS plugin versions it may not be needed anymore.
@@JNWoodworks yes that is what I meant. Thanksnfor the reply, I need to try again as well with the latest versions. It is slowed down due to accelerations when it has to go to full stop and start, so when I do many engravings like 20-30 coasters the time adds up to hours..
Hey Jim! I'm Josh, the groom. Thanks so much for making this for us! The sign came out amazing! Really enjoyed watching your process.
Hi Josh, glad you like it. Have a a great wedding!

A 1:11:58 short video😅😅😅...but after 17:05 minutes it is black 😊😊
Nice project as usually
Nice work as usual Jim. What are the pegs for?
Its a wedding seating chart, so they are hanging name tags with table numbers on them.

@@christallman14 Thats what I figured, but I didn't have the guts to try it out the first time on that big peice that I put a lot of work into :-)
