No, I find bacon to be salty enough already.

I've used a laser engraver / cutter for quite a few years a work, you need proper extraction of the fumes which can be really nasty and dangerous if you cut plastics or MDF etc, so be careful. Does it have a cutting bed with it?

Also been using them for quite a while, but never hurts to be reminded of just how nasty they can get.

Ive sealed all the case joints with rubber draft excluding stuff, there's an intake fan that cools my electronics (front right of the case) and then an extraction system at the rear left (approximately half the width of the bed, ish). The extraction fan is then on a flexible duct to the outside world.

Also I've got an air assist nozzle positioned in front of the laser head, angled so that it hits the laser spot then the air movement is backwards, towards the extraction fan.

The installed cutting bed is pretty crap (a spring loaded clamp that would hold something postcard sized) but I've got a piece of honeycomb mesh sitting on top of it that works OK. Could do with a thicker piece of mesh, but I plan on taking the bed out and replacing with an adjustable height one at some point.

Sounds good, the compressed air nozzle is supposed to stop flame outs but I find it depends what your cutting and and the power speed you use etc.

We make a tonnes of engraved wooden signs and perspex point of sales displays and photo engraved granite etc for our branches. Really easy to use, compared to our engraving machines.

 

They are good fun. The air assist helps reduce the charring on the cut edge in woods, as well as stopping flames.

I engraved some glass bottles for Xmas presents (www.benjaminalderson.com) on a friends laser - definitely needs an improved extraction system as even with a mask it got bit raspy on the throat :S

My laser I'd almost up and running - got power on/off to laser tube working, just need to sort out the power level selection now.
