Cutting 1/2" Harbor freight foam (floor mat stuff)
60% power, 20% speed, Freq 1000
Cuts really clean.

Thank you Gravograph. I did find a few of these doing the google image search but this is what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch.

Does anyone have a place I can get the line art vectors for cutting these ports? Have a friend building something weird like a flux capacitor or some other goofy thing. Just want to save myself...

Spray painted gloss black. Wanted to do satin black but nozzle was clogged and I didn't feel like cleaning it. I will see what the owner thinks. I still think I probably put more detail into it...

Painted gloss black. I wanted to use satin black but knozzle was clogged and I didn't feel like cleaning it. I'll show owner and see what he says.

Made my second run at this using Maple. This time I cut two stand off blocks to over laser side of wheels. Bolted them together tightly so the laser couldn't shoot down the side too far. Worked...

Gotta love those Binford tools.

Ok, modeled wheel in Aspire. Don't do much in 3D modeling so I have to relearn stuff. But I liked my model. Machined on cnc router, 1/8" bit. Then made the tread in Corel. Bolted both wheels...

No plans for mass production, just one off job to practice/test/learn skills, excercise my brain so to speak. I am now thinking maybe router for wheel area and laser lugs? Just thinking.

I have a friend with a Farmal antique toy tractor less rear wheels. I have some black 1/2" thick plastic (lasers well) I was thinking of trying to use my Eplilog 60w laser to try making them. I...

"I remember trying to talk to Epilog one time and they said they could not sell to me as I am a sole proprietor and not a bigger business."

Not sure why that was. I am a one man shop not related...

I am aware of the out of focus and so on. I was making a note of what a camera does compared to ones visual. Until I took pictures it looked good to me :-)
In the images I think the first one was...

My testing of crc dry moly. Got some Starrett shim stock to try and make a few pocket rulers relevant to my work. The CerMark (standard Epilog settings) worked the best. Middle ruler was the dry...

This was my set up yesterday sanding some almost 13" long boxes. I had to hold the clamps like handles to be sure the boxes didn't tip while running through. Easy to do and plenty of room to hold...

After sanding some 12" high stuff today, you have to be a little lighter on your passes but way better than by hand. I also didn't feel a need for an additional support on the open end. I made a...

Been wanting to do this ever since I bought this. I am not a furniture maker but do make boxes for special purposes. I had a Sand Flea and worked pretty good. I had my eye on a Grizzly unit that...

Just an FYI. A couple of the links I had for making finger joint boxes disappeared or just aren't working. Searched high and low to find another. Came across this one and that probably worked the...

Just wondering about the guy that was using powder coating paint and lasering it? Just a thought.

I was at a Chinese buffet today and the fellow I was with was having clams. I said something to the effect that he should take those home and make buttons. Soon we were discussing my laser and...

So I tried BoxMaker tonight and worked slick. But I don't understand what to do with the file from the makercase.com? Any help?

This is one of the first things I engraved last year after buying a used Epilog 24TT. Only advise I can give is don't use "auto focus". Took me 3 tries to get this. It now sits next to the...

Wonder if Vinyl-Off would work. I used this on my last service truck and worked well, took the vinyl and most of the clue off in one pull.

I chatted with Epilog today on another issue. Then we talked about my crossover cable. He had me running in minutes, knew his stuff. Basically some settings on the engraver needed to be set to all...

Not to hijack this thread but! When the Epilog sales rep came and set up my machine. He could not get the network crossover cable to work. We did hook up his laptop and all was fine. So I know...

This project was only really to try new things to use CoralDraw and the laser. I would normally use my cnc router for something like this. I was thinking I should even try cutting the counter sinks...
