Your Questions, Answered!
Can a laser wood cutter cause damage to wood?
In order to preserve the wood surrounding your cutting or etching project, it’s important to get the settings right. Refer to your owner’s manual or the additional support topics on our website for more information about getting set up correctly. Once set up correctly, there’s no danger of harming the wood surrounding your project cut or etch lines. This is the unique aspect of CO2 laser machines and their ability to work with great precision, unlike tools such as scroll saws and table saws.
Can a laser machine cut wood of all types?
Yes, a laser wood cutter is quite versatile and can work on varying types of woods with different thicknesses and densities. The type of wood and density will control some aspects of your project, such as speed and finish quality. Softwoods such as balsa obviously differ from hardwoods such as oak. Consult the details on your specific machine to determine maximum cutting depths to make sure it’s suitable for your projects.
Who will benefit from the use of a wood laser cutter?
Both hobbyists and professional arts and crafts designers are utilizing laser cutting, etching and engraving machines to transform their woodwork into masterful works of art. Professional artists, designers and custom furniture businesses are beginning to see the value of a laser machine and its ability to add value to each of their products.
What is the effect of laser engraving or laser etching on wood materials?
The effect of a laser wood cutter on a wood material is either brownish or white engraving. To avoid producing dark markings on the wood material during the laser engraving process, choose the low power setting at high speed.
Can you achieve a dark engraved wood product with a laser engraver?
Yes, dark engraving on the wood can be achieved provided the user follows the necessary adjustment on the settings. A test trial can be performed on a sample wood to determine the needed adjustment on the laser beam power to achieve a darker color.
