Class 411 - Introduction to Laser Cutting (Winter ‘24 - February)
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. After class, students who are also Shop members will receive a free Shop Slot to quickly put to practice what they have learned.
