laser

I am trying to decide on the next fancy tool for my shop and a metal engraving laser is in the running. I think having this ability in the creation of my pens would be a benefit, but the cost is pretty high. Debating on a standard laser for engraving the body of the pen or the containers but...

These are some of the fun pieces I have been working on besides engraving pens. Hope you like them they are Laser Engraved Tiles

Hello all, I'm preparing to pour a sort of hybrid blank, using laser cut segments. Please excuse the photo dump, but just want to get my idea (hairbrained as it may be) across. I've only used Alumilite slow for my castings, with generally okay results. I really don't want any air bubbles in...

I just finished these two this morning. Wanting to make a pen for my sister in Hawaii. She loves plumeria, so thought I'd give that a try. The pieces are quite small and thin, so I couldn't get rid of the burn edges completely. It kinda works, though. Figured I would try a celtic based design...

Hello, I'm interested in creating artistic images and shapes in my kitless pens using contrasting pieces of wood with a laser machine, and have several questions: What is the making process? I personally had the idea of turning round blank from a base wood, then laser marking a desired shape on...

This is a wood "skeleton" in a honeycomb pattern from Kenneth Wines that I cast in Alumilite with purple and silver Pearl-Ex. He normally creates a wood inlay blank, but I had an idea that seems to have turned out well. I have several other patterns from him and will be casting those in the near...

Hi, I would like to know if anyone on here has information on which laser engravers would be good for pens, cutting boards, etc. I am in the market for one and there are a lot out there at every price point. I am new on here and am really enjoying all of the information and projects shared. I...

This past week I started looking at laser engravers on the internet and I'm now more confused than before! I'm not really sure what I need versus what's available. Does anyone have experience in this area? I'm looking for a machine that produces good, quality work at a reasonable price (less...

Does anyone know of a pen engraver here in Israel? either Laser or CNC Routing. thanks

I've been playing with my CNC machine all summer long, but now that it is getting colder out in the shop, decided to play in the "turning studio" aka spare bedroom. I was inspired to do this one as a gift for a man who is in charge of working on our Aircraft Carrier stationed in Yokosuka Japan...

Ok, so I have been looking into getting an Epilog Laser ever since working the WoodWorking show several years back. So my question to you my fellow wood workers are: 1. how often do you require something engraved 2. would you use my services (if i can talk the wife into letting me get one)...

Can anyone suggest a good engraver I have a zen wedding pen dressed in custm color PR from Brooks that needs to be engraved 2 lines with his and her names.

I made this for a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hills Alumni. I have done true stone before with great results, but never used the laser engraver on the finished product. I was amazed at how this turned out, of course that comes from humbly perusing the many incredible pen pictures my...

I have recently had my first experience with laser pen engraving. The pen is a PSI Cigar with CA finish. Naturally the laser burns through the CA and into the wood. I did not expect the aroma of burned wood would be so noticeable after the laser engraving process. I would appreciate any...
