## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10491:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10491:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A dedicated external control for starting, pausing and repeating laser jobs, without loading up the software or reaching around the machine.

Batch engraving means running the same job over and over. Load the next part, press once, and the job starts; press again to pause and check alignment, then once more to carry on. When a job finishes, a double-press runs it again.

Because start-up happens away from the machine, you're not touching the engraver while adjusting or placing material, so your setup stays exactly where you aligned it.

### Getting started:

- Plug the switch into a free accessory port on your xTool F-Series machine
- Prepare your job as normal
- Press to start, press to pause or resume, double-press to repeat
 
### Features

- Faster batch production: start each run with one press instead of returning to the software
- Pause and resume instantly to check alignment or reposition material mid-job
- Repeat the last job with a double-press, ideal for identical parts
- Keeps your hands off the machine during adjustments and material placement, protecting your alignment
