  • Can it cut wood?

    • They say in the specs "Support cutting materials: Cardboard, non-woven fabric, light wood, Acrylic material, thin plastic board. Ray5 can cut 4mm plywood and 6mm pine board"

    • +1

      Not really. 3mm max. And that will be with 10+ passes. So expect an hour plus for even the smallest project and for it to look burnt on the edges.

      Ignore their 4mm-6mm, it won't happen. It also won't cut acrylic, and most plastic will cause chlorine gas to be released, which will damage your lungs, kill your dog, and ruin the lasers opitics.

      Will be suitable for engraving wood and dark coloured acrylic only (will not work on clear at all, will struggle with anything white)

      Not to mention you'll need extraction and air assist to really get far.

      Not to mention - these things are dangerous with no enclosure. Even the reflection from the light can cause serious eye damage. Those glasses aren't going to help much.

      • Thank you! :D
        Probably give this one a pass then.
        Just wondering if I had $1kNZD what would you suggest for cutting wood?

        • Hobby CNC. what size work are you planning on doing?

          • @MapleSyrup07: Engraving and cutting on wood for personal projects. i.e. artwork, photoengraving, cutting pieces for larger projects.
            I would also want to use it on acrylic if possible.
            Work size would be around A3 size and above.
