It is time again to summarize future tests that I need to run.

• Test new wire crimpers out.  I upgraded my cheap $10 crimpers for a cheap $25 set of crimpers, maybe they work better.
• Cut aluminum, in particular cut a corner touch plate out, if I can find a block of aluminum somewhere.
• Cut/engrave plexiglass.  I have no ideas here, but I do have a scrap piece.
• Test my speed/feed calculator out and try to work up some reasonable speeds/feeds for various materials.
• Test the output of gcode ripper on my rotary axis.
• Pick up a diamond drag knife tool and try etching glass or metal.
• Look into a honeycomb work table for the laser bed.
• Make a proper drag knife bed.
• Come up with better drag knife software than fusion, or work out how to load large svg files into fusion without it choking.
• Add a removable dust shield across the back of the work area to reduce chips flying all over my shop.
• Look at a stronger box fan to see if we can improve fume extraction.  Or investigate a more focused extractor.
• Put Loctite on all screws.  I have rattled quite a few loose over the last year and a half.  I should have done this initially.
• Reinvestigate laser focus for optimal cut depth, in particular work out of moving the tool over 0.5mm can lead to a deeper cut.
• Build a full size drag knife using a box cutter blade.
• Etch paint off of a tile and/or slate rock
• Try engraving on wood using the laser
• Try doing an inlay on wood using the v-bit.
• Try doing a 3D carve using a ball nose bit.
• Try doing an inlay with epoxy.
• Actually come up with a project to make!
