Class - 411 - Introduction to Laser Cutting (Fall - October)
with Alan Lewis

A laser cutter is an amazing tool for cutting and etching wood with laser light. SDFWA has two large lasers at the Shop and with just a little training you can add them to your woodworking toolkit. Both are beauties with large beds (3'x2' and 3'x4'), high power (100 and 130 watts), and even a rotary attachment for etching on cylindrical objects (requires additional training). With these tools, you can easily and precisely cut wood up to 1/2″ and etch any wood surface.

In this class, you'll learn the process of going from design-to-cutting/etching. Better still, you'll practice the workflow several times and even produce your first custom project. The software you'll use with our lasers is LightBurn.
