    Outstanding! I'll be trying an inlay soon!

    I just got my S1 today (upgraded from the D1) and I love it! I just tried this with the walnut my husband uses to make cutting boards and it came out perfect! I followed you step by step and made a walnut coaster with a "W" inlay. Thank you for the amazing instruction.

      I just started another inlay project that is the word "peace" in script. There are closed areas so when I use the outline function and set the 0.1 offset, it doesn't capture the closed inner parts of the text. Are you aware of any way to do this in XCS? @@woodworkingwithSkyler

    When we sand we put whatever we are sanding on something like this. It works great! Hope this helps! Non-Adhesive Shelf Liners for Kitchen Cabinets, Thick Strong Grip Liners for Desk, Shelves, Bathroom Drawers, Cabinet Protection

    Is the 40 watt laser worth the increased cost? Is a big cost adjustment. Also, you should get some bench cookies from Rockler. They will keep the wood in place while you are sanding.

    this video came just at the right time, i am ready to buy a laser and was convinced that I needed the P2 and F1 because I want to do mainly marquetry and engraving on metal but I can now see that the S1 40W with the 2w infra red module will do just as well and save me some money to buy more materials. Thanks

    Love your helpful videos. Definitely considering the laser. Can you go much deeper than 1/8” for you insert? I like to inlay various resin designs in my wooden bowls but need to inlay deeper than 1/8”. Since you are burning the recess it must generate a lot of smoke and heat? Stay safe.

      :) in the first part of engraving ( making the pocket) was off because I had it off while I was talking you you guys can hear me clearly and forgot to turn it back on. However when you cut deep pockets like this you will always get some but you can just wipe it away with isopropyl alcohol or light sanding

    Been struggling with the price tag on lasers. But this feature would really be a nice addition to the wood shop. Is the 40w needed for this type of work?
    Well done!!

    • @woodworkingwithSkyler
      @woodworkingwithSkyler  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No. A 20W can do this too. 40 W is needed if need to cut material thicker then 1/4 in. Also 40W is double faster then 20W. But for inlay you get same final result with both of them
