Hi All,
Has any body been able to set up corel draw to chamfer laminate on a speedy 300?
i wondered if using different colours with increasing thicknesses would do it?

You can kludge it that way , it's never precise and results are variable.... will give the best visual effect on thin material.

I agree with Rodney. Have you considered a beveler?

ditto. I'm as guilty as (or more than!) the next guy of trying to do make the laser do things it isn't particularly well suited for (like the time I rastered 6 grooves in a piece of acrylic to guide sliding panels; I stopped the first run where the grooves were perpendicular to the gantry because it was taking far too long, and re-ran with the grooves parallel to the gantry; end result was rough-bottomed grooves and heat-warped acrylic; it only took a fifth as long to redo the piece using a router and I had perfect grooves and flat acrylic... I'm slow, but I do learn...)

I simply change the cut line to a wide rastor line when engraving, then change it back to vector before cutting. Not a real bevel, but unless you look real close it has that appearance.
