TIMBERS

A dedicated timber cutting machine is at your service

Timber products are another group of materials well suited to laser cutting. The cut edge is square, clean and but can exhibit a darkened or blackened result, depending on the type and thickness. Interior plywood cuts with a smoother lighter edge due to the PVA glue used between the layers. Marine and exterior plywoods with thicknesses over 18mm start to exhibit a charred and slightly rough edge.
