What makes a wood laser cutting machine one of the most sought-after woodworking equipment is its versatility. It offers a wide range of applications. You can use it to cut, design, and engrave different types of woods.
A laser cutting can be applied to any type of wood material, softer or harder. All you need to do is to calibrate the laser machine properly. When the wood contains homogenous grain and resin, a laser machine gives excellent results.
Extremely sharp cuts can be made with very high precision. The width of a laser cut is only limited by the width of the laser beam. Cutting wood with a laser is like drawing with a sharp tip pen. Traditional techniques have a radius of around 1 mm, while a laser can cut with a beam as sharp as 0.1 mm.
Laser cutters burn through wood and produce exceptionally sharp edges. Since there is no direct contact between the laser device and wood, reducing the chance of accidental marking or contamination. Lasers also create a smaller heat-affected zone, which lowers the risk of material deformation at the cutting site.
Since laser-cutting can cut material and apply clean finish to a product, it can be a more streamlined process than traditional mechanical alternatives, which often require post-machining treatments.
