I've been reading some posts like this one regarding beveling with a laser: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...Can-it-be-done
I'm assuming this could also be done with wood?...
I have a project from a woodworker who wants me to cut his logo (consisting of 2 rectangles) with wood. He wants a bevel as well. I do have a Scott beveler but don't know if the beveler could handle wood. I believe the wood he had been using was more of a laminate (1/32" thick) but he said I could use 1/16" or 1/8". The problem is that he needs every piece to be exact as it will be inlayed into the furniture. I don't think the beveler would be very consistent. I had thought of using my rotary engraver but I curse out Gravostyle 98 not to mention I don't have chip removal so there would be a lot of cleanup involved. Also, I know I can engrave wood on the rotary but I question whether or not I can cut it (although I know I could get a nice bevel using the rotary). So then I got to thinking about the laser...
If I were to cut and attempt to bevel with the laser. How do I go about doing this? I read you make lines of varying thicknesses I believe. Then you cut them at different settings. What settings would you recommend with a 35 watt laser? Help please.
