It's out today -- our new online magazine called _Shop Floor Lasers_.
If you're into anything involving laser-beam cutting, welding,
cladding, heat-treating, etc., you'll find it interesting. Otherwise,
you won't. d8-)

There is a good article about hybrid welding -- a combination of laser
and MIG. That was a nice job of writing and researching.

I take no credit for this issue, by the way. I didn't write any of it.
I'm on the masthead, but I won't be involved until next year. This is
Abbe Miller's baby, and she's very good.



Looks like it might have some interesting articles but I gave up after a
minute or two trying to drive that godawful viewer / webpage.

Sorry to hear that. Most people find the Nxtbook reader to be fast as
a streak. On my computer, I can flip through ten pages in less than
four seconds.

I've hated those types of readers for years, and I still hate some of
them, but this one really seems to have gotten it right.

BTW, if you want to see the issue as a PDF, one of the stupid icons at
the top is a "save to your desktop" function (just mouse over them;
they're explained). It opens a page with a few options, the last of
which is to save as PDF.



Thanks Ed - the pdf version is good.

Probably just my personal viewing preferences.

You're not alone. g The online readers have been one of the biggest
hangups for online publishing. When I'm editing, I work in Acrobat, so
I deal with both. My preference for just reading it has switched from
Acrobat, which is good for reading but which may be the world's worst
text-editing program, to Nxtbook.

I hope you find some things in this issue that make it worth the
effort. Please let me know, frankly, what you think.
