Hey everyone!
I’m so happy the space is back open . I have taken the laser 101 course and completed one project before the space closed due to Covid, I am wanting to come up and use the laser but feeling a little rusty and want to make sure I do everything correctly. I reviewed the 101 class sheet with the safety stuff.
I make wooden signs for home decor. I am planning on using 1/8 plywood to cut out woods for one sign and for another I am using 1/4 inch plywood to engrave the words into the board which I plan on then painting black. I goal is to compare to my current process of making a stencil and painting the words on the sign to using the laser to engrave and then paint.
also because I know most people use RD works, I have used silhoutte studio for so long to create my designs for my vinyl cutter and dye sub I can save files as SVG so I used the lightburn software.
What speed and power would you recommend I use for theses projects?
Is anyone available to be around to provide advice or suggestions? I need to have them ready for framing this weekend. I am currently on STD due to needing a tendon repair and am available at any time of day.
Thanks in advance,
Dez
