Clay Planter Engraving with a Laser

We used a 45-watt Helix with the following settings: 40% speed, 100% power.

The first step is spray paint your pots. It is extremely important to apply even coats of paint to the pots. If your layers are uneven, the laser may get through some and not others, leaving a spotty engraving behind.

After your pots are evenly painted and thoroughly dry, follow these steps:

• Open either sc_clay_blue.cdr or sc_clay_purple.cdr.
• Change text as necessary.
• Insert the rotary attachment into the machine.
• Place the pot securely on the attachment and adjust for size.

The project is ready to go - run it with suggested speeds and powers for your wattage of laser.
