I got WW wire to experiment with radio building.
BIG mistake.

Sorry, it looks like I was wrong about Pulsonix being able to convert from PDF to Gerber. It does work the other way round, but that isn't much use.

The Pulsonix PCB software I use can convert PDF files to Gerbers. I could probably convert that file for you.

You can convert the scanned image to a vector image, the vector can be used
to run the engraver.

We¡¯re not dealing with thousands of watts like the ¡®experts¡¯ who always chime in think we are, you don¡¯t need much power to burn off paint. Like the earlier link said he only used 2 watts.

Alter the angle of the laser to fire at 15-degrees so that it doesn't shoot
back on itself.

We¡¯re not cutting either, so the beam is going to get reflected back all the time.

Still wouldn't use a CO2.? Back reflections are the issue. Ever see a resonator after the beam goes back into it? That happens at the pierce or etching (which is what you are doing).? Once the cut
