About
The BOSS LS-3655 is an industrial CO2 laser engraver with a 36" x 55" bed, supporting over-sized material pass-thru on four sides and up to 7 inches of table depth.
Status
The laser is being tested by the danger committee for authorization development and recommended setting documentation.
This page will be filled out further as information becomes available.
Settings
- Honeycomb vs. Aluminum Lamella : The honeycomb is used to engraving and pieces with precise leveling. Use the aluminum lamella (slats under honeycomb) for cutting through to reduce flashback and improve airflow (warning small pieces may fall through).
- 4" Lens Focus Depth 38.5mm (this is a just an approximate, FD calibration must be performed each time the lens is changed)
- 2" Lens Focus Depth 5.3mm (this is a just an approximate, FD calibration must be performed each time the lens is changed)
Procedures
