Re: Bubbles in tube everytime I turn on watercooler

Not sure if it applies to the larger tube like that, but I had to turn my tube so the inlet and outlet face up, that way the pump forces the air out immediately.

Re: Silly newbie question

How thick do you cut? What materials? Different woods engrave/cut differently. You need to provide those details for help. If 1/4 inch plywood, 8 X 10 inches, a 40 watt hobby unit set up correctly would do it Probably at jigsaw speeds. If you want to cut 2 X 4's none will do it. Remember there is a ...

The LaserCad software does not have a DPI setting. They do have a PPI setting, but I have played with it and did not see a lot of difference other t...
