Hi Ben That worked, but the blower will run as soon as I power up the laser. Is there any other solutions so the blower comes on when the laser starts?

You can see from the photos that I'v...

Not cutting smooth

I just tried to cut into Baltic Birch and i'm not getting smooth lines.
The letters are about 3/16" high.
My machine is level and on the leveling pads so it isn't shaking.
Please see the attached picture.

Thanks
Steven
