ma_mulcahy,


The charred edges from laser cutting can really be reduced. Until recently when i got the Griffin laser cut i never knew how versatile and effective a laser cutter can be. You can change the power of the laser, speed of the laser, and one that i found very important...the amount of air thats blown on the spot being laser cut. by blowing air on the spot thats being cut you can reduce the charring of the wood. What ive found works and what i do is to sand most of the laser cut edges to remove the charred edges. This makes it so when you CA, epoxy etc... you have the most contact and best surface to surface contact to glue pieces together. Structurally i think its stronger when you remove some of the charred edges. it usually only takes a few sweeps with the sanding block to remove it and your all set to go what does everyone else think about laser cutting and the questions ma_mulcahy has asked? Im just writing from what ive found and done, id like to hear others thoughts to
