Description
I would like to use cork as a material. So therefore first I have to run some tests. In my local toolshop you can get cork plates of 4mm for a small €.. After seeing the results I paused the Laser and removed the lower two sqares, coz they would just burn more. After running a material test on it, here is my feedback: 1. engraves nicely 2. smells like hell! 3. You can´t cut cork with a 10w Laser, at least not in one go. (Quite logically, if you thiink about t. It protects the trees from wildfires) It did cut approximatly 0.8mm, but that´s about it. It get´s all flaky on the burned paches. See the results in the picture for yourself. Settings attached. Well, lesson learned. :-D
