Keywords: laser cutter lasercutter mdf not deep enough notdeepenough project 365 project365 abstract Dave is making up some new speaker cabinets and thought it would be an ideal opportunity to get acquainted with the laser cutter that we have in work. His CAD was flawless, but his CAM slightly less so. The cutter sculpted beautiful straight cuts and perfect circles...all of which were about 4mm too shallow. :( It was a useful learning experience, but an expensive one. The board was about 12 quid and isn't too useful for anything now. The cutting problem seems to be the density difference between plywood and MDF, but we'll get it worked out in the end. :) Dave is making up some new speaker cabinets and thought it would be an ideal opportunity to get acquainted with the laser cutter that we have in work.
