Making laser cut router templates with my Glowforge
Переглядів 12 тис.3 роки тому
Take your woodworking to the next level by laser cutting your own router templates. With a router template, you can design and cut repeatable shapes out of any material without leaving a burnt edge. It expands the kinds of things you can make using your laser cutter. If you don't already own a CNC machine, this process is a great alternative (it's just a little bit more work). But wait...

    I watched because I’m going to buy a laser, so thank you. Great video. Can I ask about the coloured stripes in your wood plz? I assume you used wood dye on thin strips?

    • @JohnKuiphoff
      @JohnKuiphoff Місяць тому

      Thank you! If you need any guidance on lasers, let me know. I now own 7 of them. Ha! The colored stripes were purchased from roarocket (a skateboard company). Marwood is another place you can get them. These strips are dyed all of the way through. It’s difficult to dye it yourself as the dye will likely not penetrate the whole strip (I’ve tried a few different methods with much success). I’m going to release a video about making laserable plywood that takes all of this to next level in about two weeks. Thanks again!

      I engraved the Corian with my Glowforge. However, it was cut using my CNC machine. You might be able to cut it with a laser, but it would probably take a few passes.

    Anyone know a good double sided tape like this that is a bit less permanent for laser cutting? I want to keep using a base but change out the names pretty often. Doesn't need to survive a concrete brick lol, but would need to hold its own weight well and not be a nightmare to peel off. I am just starting my search so I might find something myself but thought I would throw out the question since this was a very helpful video.

  • @jabanan
    @jabanan 9 місяців тому

    I just wanted to point out that you used the veneer tape incorrectly or more so not the way it is intended. The tape is for taping the pieces together when your putting them together, then you can apply glue onto that tape and glue it to the mdf. The holes are there so that the glue can stick to the veneer and not the tape. Because with normal tape you have it on the side that isn't glued, but with this veneer tape you can glue it and not remove it.

      @JohnKuiphoff 10 місяців тому

      Ha! I’m using the Aura tonight to cut out paper templates for this hockey mask thing. The Aura is much different than my 100 watt Thunder Nova for sure. The Thunder is a powerhouse. It’s my industrial business machine. The Aura is little slower and has a bit less power :) But, the Aura is a fun machine to use and good for beginners and light/quick cuts. I use them for totally different things. Yesterday, my mom told me that she was thinking of getting one and was surprised to learn I already had one.

It was metal and had a point at each end. Thanks for the videos. Definitely interested in the course!
