RabidAlien Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Wife got me a woodburner for Christmas. I was trying to think of where I'd ever use one, and remembered my old bookmark that's starting to get a bit ragged (its two newspaper comic strips, back-to-back, laminated). So I picked up some 1/16 and 1/32 baltic ply from Hobby Lobby and sat staring at them blankly. I hadn't even pulled the iron out by that point. LOL So, I scrolled one. I swear they had the stuff mis-labeled at HL, this stuff cuts like it was balsa wood! Had my saw on slow speed, new blade, and will probably try using an Xacto knife for the next one I do.

trackman Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Right using that thin of wood I would be stack cutting 8 at a time. RabidAlien and wombatie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyred Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I made a bunch of those with the 1/32" plywood, and stack cut at least 8 at a time. My wife loves them, but she is always losing them, so I get lots of practice making them. They are surprisingly durable. Have had some in daily use for several years.

Denny Knappen Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I have never cut anything that thin. I did a project in 1/8” and only wanted one, so I used sacrificial wood top and bottom for strength. RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
