Hi everyone!
New to posting here but have been lurking in the background absorbing the great info you have to offer.
I came across some info while researching cutting veneers. In the blog the guy says he uses bottled nitrogen (not nitrex oxide:eek:....BOOM) in his air assist to help reduce charring.
Has anyone here tried it? If yes, please explain.
My thought process is that the laser burns through wood and needs oxygen to do so, so this would hamper cutting in wood. Sounds counter productive. I know there was an earlier post about wood charring and wanted to through this idea out there.
