I fixed it... but for a while (at least 6/13/2016 21:00 EDT - 6/14/2016 09:00 EDT) my site was dropping crypto malware. PLEASE SCAN YOUR SYSTEMS. The hack may have been as early as 5/18/2016.
I use CryptoPrevent on all systems that I touch. Another tool that I'm finding very handy is the GWX Control Panel as it seems to be the best way to thwart Microsoft's insistent Windows 10 Update.

I can cleanly cut/engrave 1/8" thick birch ply.
And I can burn acrylic paint off aluminum in a very nice way:
But hard brown anodizing is so faint that it's hard to see and disappears if you put water on the piece.
I was cutting foam for a weather-seal for a custom enclosure and noticed that this foam melts quickly and produces very-little to no smoke (it melts fast enough to get out of the way!). I now use it for calibration instead of thermal paper because it doesn't make smoke if you get the power level wrong (as an example, the holes below were done with 50% power -- that would definitely smoke your mirrors if you used paper [thermal or otherwise]!).
Some holes on the 2nd mirror (eg, for first mirror alignment).
