There is phenomenon
The laser would not cut all the way through small circles in Acrylite black acrylic - something we use to cut many many parts. It was skipping in rotating around the circle so some part of it was cut but not all the way around.
The speed is set to 10.
I went into the machine settings - work mode - and changed the corner acc from 400 to 50.
saved and downloaded the cfg file to the machine.
I observed that if I change the speed setting in the project file, the machine setting in work mode cut - appears as 400 again!
Must be a default of some kind???
So I made sure my speed was correct went into the machine options work mode cut corner acc and set it to 50, saved it but it was not downloaded to the machine however I am assuming that it downloaded with the project cut file, the circles cut perfectly and all the way through with a speed setting of 10.
Just as a test, I changed the speed again to something else in lasercut in this file and checked the machine options and yes the corner acc changed back to 400.
The last problem
If I cut a file and the immediate is unchecked, which will make the laser head go to the specific beginning, according to the lasercut software grid, complete the file and then shut off the machine, perhaps to go to lunch.
When I turn the machine back on and press start to cut the file again in the same place it appears to drop down slightly ruining the original cut.
Any feedback, saga wisdom, experience or feedback is greatly appreciated.

I have purchased a complete set of laser engraving machine from a Chinese company and I have been setting up the machine for a month. I am now trying to engrave a sample text on a paper to see if the machine works properly and I have a problem the machine always return as an error message 'Soft Stop' or 'Limit Stop'with a series of beeps. I read a similar posting here but my problem seems to be different. The working area of the machin is 60cm x 40cm, and the letter I am trying to engrave is just three letters 'cat' which is about 1cm x 2cm.
First of all, the laser head doesn't move at all when it is in the original position which is the upper right hand corner, and then 'Soft Stop' or 'Limit Stop' sign comes out immediately with a series of beeps.
When I preliminarily move the laser head to the center of the working area before I operate Laser Cut software, the head moves for few seconds and it goes to the light to left edge of the working area and it stops working and 'Soft Stop' or 'Limit Stop' error come out with a series of beeps in the machine display.
And also it doesn't engrave a paper at at all. I confirmed there is laser coming out from the focus lens when I adjusted ray path, but when the laser head is moving the laser doesn't seem to come out from the lens.
It is just three letters but it seems the laser head is overlapping the actual working width; however I know 'cat' is only 1cm x 2cm. Are there any other part of the software I need to change parameters or is this machine defective?
Does anyone know what is going on with my new machine? I highly appreciate it if you would help me fix the machine to make it work properly. If any other information will be needed for finding out the issue, I will post a new message accordingly.
