Yep, now to get the software for it on my MacBook and find someone to write the G-code for me.
Waiting to hear from the seller, the supplied software is for PC Win. only supposed to be for Windows and Mac OS.

Yesterday on the way home from the range I stopped for gas for the car, on my way back to the car The UPS driver was delivering to the store. I ask if he had been by my house, he hadn't so he got to shorten his day by about 30 mins. he gave me my package.
Two and a half hr later I had tool assembled, got it running this morning. now to get the software installed on my MacBook Pro. fun fun fun. Then I have to learn how to use it, I have figured out that there is no way I can use the off-line controller, hell I can hardly read what's on the screen just to run a manual test.

The only difference between men and boys is the size and cost of their toys!

The lasers that I can afford won't do what I want to do, My problem now is the software will not work with my MacBook when I try to open the file I get a message for Windows O/S only.So I'M waiting for the I/T dept. to contact me.
