Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / My first attempts at laser engraving.

Not bad for a first attempt but I still have a lot to learn about vector laser engraving. The feed rate and dwell time at the start of each cut are all important and of course there is no Z axis movement.
Here I have used a low power (150 mW) red laser with a 650 nm wavelength fitted to the Z axis.

They are certainly some machines Hood has posted the video of.

Hi Paul,

Are you using the same PC for both the Mill and Router operation ?.

Hi Lemo,

Thought I would try your thingy in aluminium. Got the outside done, now to work out the code for cutting the inside. There is definitely going to be some sharp ridges I think.

You will have to try again with posting the pictures of the parts. Nothing saved.
