I just tried, and it works. But it takes a LOT of power, much more power than required to cut plexiglas. I did 2 passes and it barely cut through (meaning I need one more pass to go all the way)  I may consider doing this more often though I don't know if I should use a more powerful tube once I kill this one from overuse... I tried it with the 40 watt K40 laser in the past and it would not even scorch the wood. |

Good to know Tai. Making medallions like that you maybe should think about changing your signature. Yes, I know, it's very "rock'n roll", but it makes me wince every darn time I see it. |
