Hello @lasertechs and @lasers - I want to laser etch onto dowel approx the diameter of a broom handle, possibly slightly smaller. Is this possible with the rotary attachment? is there a size limit to the smallest item it can handle?
Thanks
Gawain
Rotary attachment question
It will def do broom handle thickness - my standard tubes to cut on that are 19mm diameter (use the pinchy wheels not the cone attachment) and Ive done 15mm before.
Things to watch are that you will get close enough to hit the rh pinch wheel bolt with the laser head so be careful where you’re planning to engrave.

There was a member last year who did a load of drum sticks…

That just gave me an idea. Perhaps when at least 1 member has ‘cracked’ something like rotary engraving or laser cutting ink stamps, they could hold at least 1 mini-workshop/‘master-class’ to share the skill(s)?
Obviously only open to those already inducted on the equipment.
Perhaps it could be organised or structured in some way, like inductions?

Hi All!
As promised, Petra and I will be running a Rotary Attachment tutorial session for those that are interested in learning how to use it:
Tuesday, December 10 - 18:00-20:00
I will also cover some details on how to properly engrave glasses.
No need to sign up - just show up!
See you then!

Thanks! Could I bring a small wooden cylindrical bowl, to laser a couple of letters on the side?

As long as it fits in the attachment… bring it along and we will give it a go!
