Engrave Brass with a Diode Laser?

[@anderslagerqvist2642]

I used electrolysis instead with saltwater and a metal katode and 5 volt powersupply. No acid.... however results in gases so preferably outdoors (explosive)... It is easy if you can control the voltage.

This was incredibly useful. I have a proposed project that this would be perfect for.

One small safety consideration- you probably did it, but didn't mention it- wear glasses when you wash the basins and stuff out. That's the #1 way to get acid in your unprotected eyes. You're finished with the job, take off glasses, turn on the hose and it blasts the acid and it rebounds into your face. It's the stupid steps like that where people make mistakes.

Wich settings did you use like speed and power?

[@catspawcustoms]

@@sugarsweetlady7 I don’t remember off the top of my head, but all you’re trying to do is remove the paint, so it doesn’t take much power at all. I probably did something around 1000 mm/m and 50%, but almost anything will work when it comes to removing paint.

novel idea.

This is not engraving, just etching

Yeah, hence the “?” At the end of the title.
