Now I can cut "Nitto" blue laser paper stainless with very little dross issues. My biggest problem was I was using the wrong laser @ the wrong company...lol. I've switched employers to one who still uses a Mitsubishi (only 3500 watts instead of 2000 ) and the laser cuts through the stainless with the laser paper on it like it was no big deal! It must have been a height detection issue with the MPH head, because even though this has the older "Precitec" head, it never blinks an eye. Thanks everyone for the support, now if someone could just find a manufacturer in need of an experienced programmer/operator within 15 miles of Indianapolis, life would be grand....I'm commuting 100 miles a day now...ouch!
