I have already learnt a lot about this diode laser system and quickly reached a conclusion about its puny cutting capability. I can understand those that have invested in one of these machines being prepared to jump through all sort of inconvenient hoops to make it do as much as possible. I apologize but I dont have that patience to demonstrate that if I stand on my head, sing the national anthem and drink a pint of bear at the same time then I can make my machine do things it's really almost incapable of doing.
The purpose of my exploration into this subject is to find what it MAY be good at. With the aid of super focusing the beam to enhance its INTENSITY, I have increased its potential for certain types of engraving. One of those is dithered engraving and in this session I try to find materials that will respond to the most difficult SINGLE PIXEL engraving required for photo replication. I know that the reduce quality required for IMAGE engraving (which most people do) is a much simpler task for the diode laser and will be examined in the next session.
