Step 4 Lasercutting Tips

This project would have taken a lot longer and not come out nearly as good if i didn't have access to the Epilog laser. I learned that when cutting wood it helps to use masking tape to keep the surface of the wood near the cut from getting smoky and burnt. Also, you avoid cutting plywood with the lasercutter. The glue that bonds the plywood layers will smoke up and fog the optics of the laser which drastically reduces its effectiveness. Its also a good idea to do test cuts on cardboard before putting any valuable materials in the lasercutter.
