We used to have one.
Definitly works with Signlab.
Depending on what version of Signlab, you may have to set the depth on the controller.You actually would be much better off with Engravelab.
You could create all kinds of toolpaths and assign depthWith Signlab, you might be limited to the default fills and assigning depth on the controller.
Lot of people use our BRAILLE module with it.fyi, i should be upfront and tell you i work for cadlink.
not in sales or anything, i write most of the cutter drivers -
We also have one , works well with both signlab and engravelab and also Coreldraw , Roland have a print driver that allows it to work directly off Corel. The Roland software is ok if you want to do real simple stuff. I find corel better than engrave or signlab for the front end design work and engravelabfar better for controlling the machine , so we just import into engravelab etc.
Its a nice little machine , a bit wimpy and has a rather weak spindle , but we use ours mostly for diamond drag engraving.
