Laser Engraving Ash Wood - Cutting Board
Machine: xTool P3 80W CO₂ laser
Material: Solid ash wood
Workpiece size: 450 × 300 mm
Laser parameters:
• Power: 80%
• Speed: 800 mm/s
• Line density: 250 lines/cm
• Passes: 1
• Engraving time: approx. 1 h 05 min
• Removable Air Nozzle: removed during engraving
With these settings, the engraving depth exceeded approximately 1 mm. Due to the relatively deep engraving, visible heat discoloration and burn marks appeared around some engraved areas.
Post-processing:
The surface was sanded using 220-240-grit abrasive paper to remove the burn marks and clean up the engraved edges.
Final surface treatment:
Natural food-safe oil wax suitable for wooden kitchen products and food-contact surfaces.
Note:
Results may vary depending on the density, moisture content, grain orientation and surface condition of the ash wood.
