Laser Cutting & Engraving

CO2 lasers are used in woodworking for a variety of tasks, such as cutting, engraving, and etching. Here are some examples of how CO2 lasers can be used in woodworking:

Cutting: CO2 lasers can be used to cut through a variety of materials, including wood, plywood, MDF, and acrylic. They are particularly useful for cutting intricate shapes and designs that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional woodworking tools.

Engraving: CO2 lasers can also be used to engrave designs and text onto wood. This is useful for creating custom signs, logos, and other decorative elements.

Etching: CO2 lasers can be used to etch designs into the surface of wood. This can be used to create textured patterns, such as the appearance of aged or weathered wood.

Joinery: CO2 lasers can be used to create precise joints in wood, such as finger joints and dovetail joints. This can help to increase the strength and stability of a woodworking project.

Marking: CO2 lasers can be used to mark wood with identifying information, such as part numbers or serial numbers. This can be useful for tracking inventory or identifying individual pieces of wood in a larger project.

CO2 lasers offer a high level of precision and accuracy that can be difficult to achieve with traditional woodworking tools.
