When I was cutting at 100%, it was up to around 8. I turned a blind eye to it after that. I'll have to pay attention next time.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 11:11 AM, miloh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:froggytoad@gmail.com">froggytoad@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>How many mA on the ammeter??<br>

As a side note for acrylic cutters out there:<br>
I observed melting and poor results cutting 1/4 inch acrylic running<br>
at the speeds you used (10% speed).<br>
Later, I got clean results in 1/8 acrylic running 8 passes at 60%<br>
with 100% power and 4mA (throttling the power on Elvis rather than<br>
with software). I decided not to even try 1/4 inch because the DOF of<br>
these optics is quite slim.<br>

PS if you reboot the Acer Lasertop, use F12 at boot to select from<br>
the boot menu (and use Hard drive, not netboot, for now).<br>
