Step by Step

Step 2

Step 2: Cut the TroGlass and MDF Sheets

Insert the Aluminum Cutting Grid Table, and then place the MDF sheet on your laser's work area. Proceed to cut the material. Next, remove the MDF cutouts and remaining material as well as the Aluminum Cutting Grid Table. Proceed to insert the Acrylic Cutting Grid Table, and place the the first half-sheet of TroGlass on the work area. Cover the remaining area (e.g., with standard printing paper) to maximize the vacuum's suction force on the sheet. Next, laser cut the TroGlass material, and remove the protective foil from the sheet once the job is finished. Repeat this process with the second and third half-sheets of TroGlass.
