Latest Tests On My @longer.global Ray5 20 Watt Laser Engraver.
This is just a simple way of testing the lasers cutting capabilities on different species of woods.
I quickly designed a simple test file in @lightburnsoftware and set about digging through my scrap bin.
All of these pieces are around 1/4 inch in thickness except the cedar which was thinner.
Speed was 300, and air assist was on. I only went up to 86% as I've heard it's bad on the diodes to run a laser on full power all the time.
For some reason, it did not wanna cut the red oak, but, I'm sure with more passes it would cut it.
3 passes is the most I like to do to keep from potentially charring the wood.
All in all, I am happy with the results and I hope these photos help some people.
