Let me try and rephrase what I meant by "The shit" : These ULS CO2 lasers work very well and efficiently do an impressive, quality engraving job when ran properly. I do enjoy them very much and would recommend them as an important step for anybody wanting to try and enter into the engraving profession.<hr /><a name="a5525_20"></a><p><b>From: Boz (CHEDDARHEAD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5525.20">#20</a>]<br /> 19 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>Gee BobKat, he wouldn't know what you were talking about if your referred to a "bubbler".

Now, I don't know about the bong ....

CA company that went out of business a dozen or so years ago. I believe your Blazer is a cw pumped, AOQ switched YAG, The 20,000 number probably refers to either the max Q switch pulse frequency or peak power per pulse (this is really a pretty useless number for most users). Quantrad built a lot of these systems and after they went out of business a handfull of people went into the aftermarket business of refurbishing, reselling and supporting the systems. I'm not positive who ultimately bought the rights to their design and their inventory but I think it was a guy in Valencia, California.</p> <p>If you are really stuck using it I can probably get a name or two for you of people who make their living supporting that equipment but I'm pretty sure they would charge you for their time. I'm not personally familiar with their software or operating controls so I would not want to offer advice. Let me know if you would like a name(s) of one of those service companies.</p> <p>Quantrad did not make a particualry good system. My only advice to you would be not to spend much money getting the system to work. I suspect that you will never be really satified with the results from the sytem and you could easily spend a lot of money either getting it back on line or supporting it. Good luck.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 4 Jan 2007 by JEARMAN</p> <hr /><a name="a5525_26"></a><p><b>From: Peter</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5525.26">#26</a>]<br /> 4 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Boz (CHEDDARHEAD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5525.22">#22</a>] 6 Jan 2007</p> <p>people from New South Wales ( Sydney) call them bubblers....</p> <p>The rest of us call them water fountains..I am yet to see one blow "Bubbles" yet...</p> <hr /><a name="a5525_27"></a><p><b>From: Boz (CHEDDARHEAD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5525.27">#27</a>]<br /> 6 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Good on ya.
