Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] How to burn flat images in wood?

Hi clone,

Peter Chen and I have experimented with a wood burner (Edsyn soldering
station) in a mount that can be threaded into Joe V's Dremel adapter
(for Sherline mill). Varying speed changes intensity of burn.

Ask Peter (on this or Flashcut lists) for more details.

What? you don't have a 20W industrial laser? ;>)
