I'm after someone who can cut holes with a Forstner bit into oak blocks, the same as the hole I did on the left. I did try myself but going into the end grain of the oak I just got nowhere (I am not...

We're after a 2 ply so it's a bit firmer, it's just making sure that it's bonded with something that won't give off anything bad when cutting or engraving that could damage the laser and more...
Any suggestions for nice laserable 2-ply veneers in the UK like are sold on this site (USA retailer) - https://www.cardsofwood.com/section/wood-sheets
We've just purchased a UV printer too and are...
Thanks for all the replies guys! I'll give them a proper read over and try out what has been suggested. Good tip on checking the DPI of the original image too, something I'd not even thought of!
Whenever I copy for example a JPG or Vector and then paste into Coreldraw the image clarity goes and it becomes pixalated. Even then when I have to convert with the trace Bitmap tool to High Quality...
You sir are a good man, yes that's done what I need! :cool:
You mean as in Bitmap > Trace Image?
It isn't this actual image but similar idea:

So it's easy enough to do a boundary and then...
I have an image and I want to create an internal boundary to it. I've done the external boundary and contour to offset it a bit and I want to do the same fore the inside of the image but just don't...
No idea. Surely it's all about getting a solid tight fixing between pipes.
We've changed to out to air extraction, we originally used our Atmos for 3 years but it's rediculously expensive to change the carbon and filter and as we really only engrave and cut wood no harmful...
In general our laser is mainly engraving rather than cutting on most jobs, it will cut around the outside but the majority of the time is spent engraving things.
We are looking at a job that will be...
Cool thanks John, always want to play on the cautious side is all just to be safe for our health and the laser. Yes extraction is good :)
Resurecting an old thread here...is there no issues either to the machine or the fumes that might come off with timber that has been varnished first or anything?
Hi, we're after some more cherry laminate (3.2mm - 1/8" thick). Our usual supplier is all pout for a few weeks and we could really do with some. Alternatively any nice solid cherry wood in similar...
What is the noise situation like with the Axminster? We're going to be working in the same room right by it and I thought I read somewhere it's like a plane taking off?!
Thanks for the replies guys, it is very much appreciated and thanks for clarifying that the centrofugal option looks to be the best route to go.
Probably a silly question, is it the larger 150mm...
I know the topic is a well covered one and I've done plenty of reading up but I'm now after getting some external extraction sorted to replace the Trotec Atmos that we are currently using which is...
How do all of you guys determine when it is the carbon or the comfort box filter that needs to be changed?
It always seem just guesswork on our end and I take a punt on which I think it might be.
Hi guys,
I constantly have problems with the Weld option in Coreldraw (some random times I get it to do what I want but more often than not I don't).
Anyway, in trhe example image attached I...
Possibly in the wrong part of the forum but unsure.
I'm trying to source (in the UK) some wooden hearts like in the image (without the engraving). Around 2cm thick. Anyone any suggestions or if...
Thanks for all the replies guys, have been using the laptop to get all our jobs done at the moment while our main computer is having the problems as we're pretty busy, not had chance to look through...
Having a problem as of this morning that when I send a file to jobcontrol for our Trotec it is sending the cut lines but not the engraving/rastering even when everything is selected.
I've checked...
Hi guys,
I've popped over from the Engravers section of the forum for what I imagine is a pretty basic question...
I am after putting a slot into the top of a picture frame, similar to what you...
You sir are a top man, thankyou :)
