Now with the first one you do once you rotate it 180 degrees and center the red diode to the mark on the mug then make a reference mark on the rotary cone. Once that is done you could line up the two marks and it should be close.</p> <p>Experiment with one to see if that will work.</p> <hr /><a name="a5742_7"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5742.7">#7</a>]<br /> 12 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: laserman (MIKEMAC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5742.6">#6</a>] 13 Jan 2007</p> <p>Mike,</p> <p>I'm curious, is this something that could be addressed with the driver software in the future? This is one of the reasons I haven't used my rotary attachment well over a year.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 12 Jan 2007 by DATAKES</p> <hr /><a name="a5742_8"></a><p><b>From: laserman (MIKEMAC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5742.8">#8</a>]<br /> 15 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5742.7">#7</a>] 15 Jan 2007</p> <p>Dave,</p> <p>In a simple answer YES, It has already been changed with the Versa Lasers and I expect it to be implemented into the Professional series systems.</p> <p>Please do not take this as absolute fact this is not my decision just my opinion.</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5742.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5742.1">1-4</a>  5-8</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
