Thanks for the info. Can you tell me how you could have gotten it black? I have tried stains and dyes, and still see a notable diff in the India ink being the blackest. I will def check out your...

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me how you could have gotten it black? I have tried stains and dyes, and still see a notable diff in the India ink being the blackest. I will def check out your...
Thank you for the info. I guess I still really don't understand why the osmo wouldn't be a durable finish when it's used for wood floors, which take far more of a beating than cabinets? Have a good...
Thx Mark. One last question....were you using water or oil based poly?
Hi all. I want to finish my new kitchen cabinets with Polyx Hard Wax Oil because I LOVE the finish. I have read many things saying that it's great for cabinetry, but I've also read posts from...
Thx for the suggestions. My research led me to understand that the only true black comes from India Ink, but I may be ready to accept a lesser version, which I believe would come with the other Osmo...
Hi there. You all helped me immensely a few years ago, and I'm hoping you can do it again! I am putting in a new kitchen. Doors are rift sawn oak. I wanted a true black (with grain showing...
I think some of my replies have been lost in the pages of this long thread, so I'll just re-highlight the salient points now:
1. If I get any laser, it will be Zing or Rayjet.
2. I will be...
Thanks so much Steve. I'm happy you told me this info, and may potentially save me from an expensive mistake. I'm confused, though, because when I've seen white, laser cut greeting cards, I've...
Thx for the info. Yes, I've discovered for this type of thing I need to vastly up my budge. It is now between Rayjet and Zing....Rayjet costs a tiny bit more, but Trotect is not too far from my...
Thx. The 'linear' thing did the trick:)
Thx Jit. I kindof suspected that. I have actually changed my tune. I spoke with Trotec yesterday, and I now have the goal in mind of buying a Rayjet. Yes....2.5x my original budget, but I work...
Thx so much.
Thx Casey. I'll take your word for it. My files are not even complex at the moment, I just want a perfect edge. Do you have burning on the edges? I assumed that if I finessed the settings, I'd...
Hi. I started a thread on laser cutting paper, and have been thrilled with the response. However, I can only see two pages. New people are posting, and I can tell that they did from the main forum...
Didn't know where to post this, but rather than on the thread I started, where it would get lost, I thought I'd post here. I just joined to ask a question about what laser to buy for paper cutting. ...
Thx. I appreciate all of the advice. Mike....another Bullet wouldn't help, as I'm not interested in increasing production, just increasing the level of detail I can put into my work....beyond that...
Dave....excellent info. I understand 7,000 + is huge, but it's not $20,000, so that's encouraging:) One LAST question and I will not bug anymore. Are you suggesting that a Boss Laser would not be...
Thx Bill. I understand that you're explaining how to keep the paper from moving around, but are you also telling me that your machine works well with intricate paper cuts?
Thx john. I'm hoping someone chimes in with an example of a machine that would be good. I just need a starting point.
Thx John and Dave for the valuable info. Funny, I did so much research that I started to have questions about exactly what you brought up. Each sheet would have many 1mm holes cut, and I wondered...
Thx jay. No issue re one at a time. Every single slice is a different size, and I do one at a time, so all good. Thx so much for the link. I'll check it out for sure.
I'm in Canada, Bill. I'm actually now considering a boss laser. I've heard good things for the price.
Matt, every piece is handmade by me, even if they are the same design, so, a bit of both. You can see them on my website. Suemcnenly.com. Look under the Secret Garden tab.
Thx Matt, but the Silhouette Cameo was what I started with a few years ago. I have been using a much faster, professional machine for the past year, The Silver Bullet, but I'm at the end of the line...
Thx Mike and Bert. You've helped, as I just really wanted things narrowed down. Decent small laser with good support. I'll call both companies and go from there.
Have a a great day.
