burn on the back

[woodturningbypaul]

HI All

busy playing with the machine and getting some good results, I am finding that i get some burn marks on the back of the wood when the laser goes over the bed bars. is there way i can reduce the marks or can i take the bed out and rest the wood over the edges and let it drop onto draw.

thanks

You could mask the back off. If its beam scatter, a coat of masking tape might just be enough. Otherwise, let the bits drop.

Thanks for that , i expected that was the going to be the only way, just wasn’t sure if there was a trick i hadn’t heard yet

cheers

Unless you want to buy spookys pin beds? I have one on my LS3020 and it works a treat. No beam scatter, because there is nothing for the beam to scatter off!
