Sample Club: Engraved & Cut Wooden Coaster Set

Please consult your owner's manual for the proper settings for your machine.

The machine used for this project was a 40-watt Epilog Helix and we used the following settings:

Engraving: 45% speed, 100% power
Cutting: 20% speed, 50% power, 500 frequency
DPI: 600

• Insert the plywood into the upper left corner of
  the engraver.
• Open the file sc_wooden_coaster_set.cdr
• Send the job to the laser.

We used finished plywood for this project so there was
no sanding or staining involved. If you selected
unfinished plywood, you may opt to sand and stain
until you reach the look you want.

After you pieces have been cut, wipe away any
wood residue with a damp cloth. If you used unfinished plywood, now is the time to sand and apply wood stain if you'd like.

After your pieces have dried, apply a coat of waterproof wood finish (this will prevent eventual delamination and water rings.)

Now that all of your pieces are ready to go, it's time to assemble the coaster holder. Using wood glue, adhere the sides to the base of the box and let it dry. Remove any excess glue with a warm, damp cloth. Place the coasters within the holder and you’re all set!
