Ever had a project ruined by bad wood, knots, or glue streaks? đŹ In this video, Iâll show you how to use the Cut Shapes feature in LightBurn to save your project without wasting time or material. Instead of re-cutting the whole design, youâll learn how to isolate the problem area and re-run just that section until itâs cleanly cut.
This real-life demo walks you through step by step how I fixed a project on my Hydra laser using cheap plywood that had stubborn glue streaks. The Cut Shapes tool is one of my go-to tricks in LightBurn, and once you know how to use it, youâll never stress over bad spots in your material again!
What youâll learn in this video:
How to spot problem cuts caused by knots or glue streaks
Why you shouldnât move your project or laser head until the fix is ready
Step-by-step tutorial on using Cut Shapes in LightBurn
How to isolate specific sections of your design for re-cutting
Saving time and material by only cutting whatâs needed
đ If youâve ever run into issues with plywood, MDF, or other materials not cutting all the way through, this video will help you troubleshoot and save your projects.
