The Truth About Laser Engraving Slate with the F2 [OnlyGrains Archive]

I am sharing my latest F2 laser tips for slate engraving tonight. We are also catching up on shop projects and future plans.

Tonight we are focusing on getting better results with the F2 laser on slate. I am walking through some process improvements and sharing how I am dialing in my laser settings to get the look I want. It is a casual session, so we are also looking ahead at some new items coming to the shop soon.

This workshop stream is a great way to see the real-time workflow behind my projects. We are also prepping for the upcoming F2 review video, so I am answering questions and chatting about what is next on the bench. If you are curious about the technical side of engraving or just want to hang out in the garage, I hope you find this helpful.
