rash_powder Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have a laser engraver and have been kicking around the idea of using it to 'attach' patterns to my materials. Just lightly burn the image on and take it to the saw and cut. Maybe a bit stronger of a burn to leave a small valley to help the blade follow. Has anyone tried this? Might save on tape and such; I do hate the spray glue. Down side so far would be cost but it can be used for other projects so not sure thats a minus. Thoughts?

merlin Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Do have one myself but have not tried that idea, have thought about it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 It would work.. Though my laser only does approx. a 8 x 10? area so I wouldn't be able to do a vary large project.. and the hassle of set up time for the laser etc. would take more time than printing a paper on a full sheet shipping label that you can just peel and stick to your project.. If I go to the trouble to set up the laser... it's going to make the whole project for me, LOL OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 The issue i see is you have a permanent line on your project. Unless you can cut 100% accurately on the line, you will have burn marks on your finished piece. That’s fine if you paint the project though. danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
