Er! Maybe I have something wrong here but my experience with Blackwood - Acacia Melanoxylon - is that it is fairly soft, at least that growing in damper valleys seem so to me. Drier ridge and hill slope grown seems harder but still not what I would call "red gum" like hard or dense. Often a very pretty wood with dark brown and even purple hues. It was know as "lightwood" by the early pioneers... Martin
Ive watched the entire series. Great material for those of us thinking of adding one of these to our shop. May I ask specifically what model this is, and where it was purchased. I cannot seem to identify an 'upgraded' model that has the Miliamp guage. They all seem to have only the led percentage readout...Thanks!
Thanks Roger for trying the hardwoods. I think the denser would does look better. Regarding the dark wood that burned, I'm wondering if maybe a change in the feed and speed or the speed and the power used might have rendered a better outcome. Probably no way to tell without a lot of trial and error. I am certain the darker material is absorbing the light better and as a result burns quicker. Anyway, very good videos, very informative and as always much appreciated.
Amazing! The different woods versus the laser! Fascinating!
