Laser Cutting Wood
When a laser is used to cut wood, why doesn't the wood burn?
WHO SAID THAT?
The laser actualy burns the wood, the technic is to cool the wood before it gets ruined, thats why the laser cuts wood LAYERS, not logs
the best example in this case is the use to laser is to cut fabrics, it cools instantly

CO2 Laser cutting wood (2 of 3)
How do you make a laser that cuts through wood?
Also add the parts so i know what to buy, and also show the steps to make it.
The problem is generating enough energy to burn through the wood. The laser pointers you can buy do not generate enough energy to burn wood. Powerful lasers are much more expensive. Industry uses laser cutting and laser welding equipment for burning through and melting metals. Any laser the generates enough energy to burn wood would certainly be dangerous to your eyes or your skin. If you do build your own laser, be sure to become an expert on laser safety. Among other things, you need to be careful to prevent reflecting the laser beam to places you don't want it.
good luck
I don't know much about building boxes or using C.A.D, but maybe try it out on a scrap piece of MDF before using good material.
Hi kyleryantoth,
We have a 60W laser and have cut a number of templates from MDF. The biggest problem in laser cutting MDF, and plywood for that matter, is the glue used to bond the material, not the wood itself. When laser cutting any of these materials I highly recommend using wood with an all natural bonding agent instead of the heavy chemical glues found in the MDF and plys you get at most hardware stores. Check with your local lumber yards for these better materials. When laser cutting thick MDF do not try to cut it in 2 passes like you would with 2" hardwoods since, again, it is not the wood that is the issue but the glue. I would suggest 5-7 passes at slightly faster speeds. The glue, like cutting thick acrylic, will re-bond if cut too hot too slowly. You will also get too much flare-up if not done properly.
Specifics:
How will the MDF handle the heat? Too much heat at a very slow speed will torch the wood. Plan on many passes at 100% power but faster speeds (start about 20%-25% speed).
Would I have to use low power and make multiple cuts? No and Yes. On 3/4" MDF aim for about 1/8" deep per pass (roughly 6 cuts) at full power.
I do however foresee a problem cutting angles on the edge *The 3/4" side. – instead of angle joints try dovetail or box joints. They will look better and make the box more sturdy if you plan on 10"+ sub woofers.
Always test your settings on scrap first.
Feel free to email me with any questions.
