Sounds like a thread I have seen before under the "where can I find" folder.<br /> <br /> Spoke to a pleasant young lady (at my age they are ALL young ladies! ;-) ) and is seems the manager (sales manager?) left the company and she is now the person in charge.<br /> <br /> Spoke about getting involved with the forum and she seemed very interested/excited with the idea of a new advertising medium to contact ~1600 engravers at little or no cost.<br /> <br /> I ramble a bit because this company has been recommended as a source for other products, specifically gavels, and no mention of their extensive line beyond the gavel.<br /> <br /> The name of the company? The Gavel Company, of course. Watch for a new member shortly after the show....<br /> <br /> Four/five sizes of bats including half cut for mounting flat on a plaque. <hr /><a name="a6100_56"></a><p><b>From: Dee (DEENA-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6100.56">#56</a>]<br /> 17 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6100.26">#26</a>] 17 Mar 2007</p> <p>Cody,<br /> The bracelets were on display in Atlantic City along with the little machines.</p> <p>Dee</p> <hr /><a name="a6100_57"></a><p><b>From: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6100.57">#57</a>]<br /> 17 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Dee (DEENA-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6100.56">#56</a>] 17 Mar 2007</p> <p>Dee -</p> <p>My wife has contacted Leather Treaty directly.

Sometimes after I swap tables, the laser won't run another file without considerable delay (minutes) and the autofocus (z-height keyed into the print properties) won't set the proper height (ie no movement). Once the file does start, if I stop it and restart it, everything will function as it should. The several minute delay is the main problem.<br /> <br /> I've gotten into the habit of resetting the z-axis (under the focus tab), then swapping tables. This has improved the situation, but it still happens (very infrequently). It's a minor inconvenience, but I'd like to eliminate the problem if I can.<br /> <br /> Thanks. <hr /><a name="a6100_72"></a><p><b>From: David Wilhite (DAVID-ULS)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6100.72">#72</a>]<br /> 20 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>Hi Carl,</p> <p>I’m not exactly sure why you’re experiencing problems when swapping accessories in and out of your VL-200. I would suggest you check to be sure the honeycomb cutting table and rotary fixture are seated securely on the recessed electrical connector and aligning pins. Also, check to be sure that all of the electrical pins are free of dirt and debris and that none of them are bent or broken. If that doesn’t fix the problem, send me a PM with your machine’s serial number and I’ll work with our service department to find a solution for you.</p> <p>All the best,</p> <p>Dave</p> <hr /><a name="a6100_73"></a><p><b>From: laserman (MIKEMAC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6100.73">#73</a>]<br /> 20 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6100.71">#71</a>] 20 Mar 2007</p> <p>Carl,</p> <p>What version of software do you currently have?
