Hi everyone,
I'm looking to get into laser engraving on bamboo and would love some advice from those with experience. I've heard bamboo can be a bit tricky due to its grain and density variations. I plan to work on bamboo coasters, so I want to ensure the engravings come out clean and consistent.
What laser settings (power, speed, DPI) work best? Are there certain types of bamboo or finishes that engrave better? Does pre-treating or sanding help improve results? I’d appreciate any tips, tricks, or mistakes to avoid.
Thanks in advance for your help!
