Thank you, I do not plan on replacing this bit. Have you ever had the ash remain on a painted engraved surface?
Yes it happens all the time. You have to be pretty careful or it will smear all over the finished project. Ussually a damp rag will wipe it up.
Thank you. This was a first for me. I did not want to wipe it off because I wanted the heavy black image to remain. It took two coats to completely seal it.

More learning with the laser. I wanted to see if I can cut through 3mm plywood with the laser. Also, did a simple indexing layout to do a small production run. I having a great time with the laser and the XCarve. It is so easy to switch from one program to another (Lightburn to Easel)

Great Video. Iâd like to suggest the possible use of a 1/4" downcut bit. It would be long enough and would give you a very clean cutout. Since you have plenty of waste material around the cutout, I think you would have no problems using the larger bit and you would get the benefit of a downcut shearing action.
Also another idea for hold down is to use a thicker waste board and in the safe areas of the project waste, actually use 1-1/4 bugle head screws to hold it down. That would alleviate the warp concern in the center of the piece and would also hold it down flush. I use this method whenever I can.
regards.

Phil, great information first off. I enjoy reading your posts and looking at your videos. I just bought a J-Tech and was wondering if you would be willing to add your Easel laser sign to the project folder.
Thanks again for your time and effort in helping others.

With my J Tech Photonics laser I engraved a name on a round pen blank. Complete success. Here is a video. Start at 6:00 for that process.

This project file is for Zachary. Hope this helps you. All you need to do is complete it in Easel. Look at 1865, thatâs done. My email to you tells you how to do the rest. Any questions please let me know. Hopefully, this will help you and you will also learn a little more about easelâŚgood luck

I love the laser. The detail that can be achieved is amazing. The latest gift that I made is a good example. The Millenium falcon is loved by my son, for that matter, anything Star Wars. He loved this gift that was inspired by my grandson.
