After trying various suppliers and getting poor quality pitted sheets this is just what I needed, quality is excellent, cuts and engraves easily. No issues at all.
This is my 2nd order of this black core MDF. It cuts very well on a diode laser (36W), minimal cleaning required. I will be making a 3rd purchase soon!
Good quality and a fair price and delivered very quickly. I will be using again.
Thank you
Easy to order.. prompt despatch and arrival .. great quality ..thx
In some cases this MDF is a good alternative to plywood with no knots or plugs It cuts and engraves well whilst appearing stronger in some uses.
Fast delivery of great material for diode lasers that I have not found available elsewhere. Will order again.
Arrived well packed and in good time (as always).
All exactly the correct sizes, material engraves and cuts well.
Very happy customer again.
I'll be back.
The Laser Board I ordered came flat and very well packed, and on time, Hobarts are now my go to place for my modelling materials.
A little more power needed to cut than for regular single layer acrylic of the same thickness. Engraves really well and looks fab when done.
Arrived in good time and well packaged as always.
Great colours in the acrylic but the detail when lasering is lost dues to the colour depth
I ordered 3mm Laserboard and they are great, they arrived flat and very well wrapped up, i've made windows and door frames all laser cut and the results are fantastic, I would recommend Hobarts and will be placing more orders from them.
Nice sturdy sheet wood for laser work, takes a stain colour well.
For the "Diode" laserists this product will be an attractive option for their low power, slow devices.
Etches and cuts very eaisly, with clean edges and a reasonably fine surface for further finishing or painting.
Given its lightweight construction it makes shipping a little cheaper and as such a winner over thicker materials.
Crafters will be impressed with the product as it's good for small projects where weight adds to the bottom line cost of each item on postal charges,
C02 users should note that if etching low power and higher than usual speed may be preferred to give good results without penetration through the material. As usual test runs to determine ideal settings are essential, but for an 80w machine with a 50mm focal length lens running at 45mm/sec for line etch at 10-12% power suffices. Cut through at 60% power at 40mm/sec works well.
Refine as always to suit your machine power and condition of tube, cleanliness of mirrors and lens.
This product sands down well for a really fine finish using 200 grit paper, plus it takes the vast majority of acrylic or oil based paint nicely. Overseal with a clear spray finish of your choice for a good end result.
I needed this for a model-making project, and it didn't disappoint: well-packaged, in a convenient size and crucially, flat.
