In this video I will show you from start to finish how to engrave the best images possible on to slate.
Slate coasters are one of the best beginner projects because they are a relatively low cost to purchase and if you mess up like I have (multiple times), with a bit of elbow grease or a powered sander you can quickly remove your mistake and re-prep your coaster again and have another go, (OR FOUR).
As stated in the video here is the link to my in-depth video to dial in your settings...... Enjoy.

Thanks, it is always great to hear from other people and how they do it. Just the little simple comments during processes often make a difference to something i havent considered. And yours was one of those situations with too much power causing a washout in the image. Many thanks.

Great video, loved it and learnt something about Lightburn. Thank you for this video. I'm just starting with laser engraving, what kind of spray do you use after sanding the coasters?

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 3 күн бұрын

Thank you. Prior to laser engraving, I use a matte black automotive spray paint. If I can't source matte paint, I'll settle for using a satin finish but never use a gloss. It is hard to see your finished result if you finish with a gloss in certain lights.

Thank you for the inspiration! After it’s done do you spray lacquer it to protect the image or just leave it be?

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge Ай бұрын

You are welcome. I have left mine as they are. There are videos on youtube already about different finishes for slate. I know you can lose detail in your engravings by applying a gloss finish to them so I would refrain from using any gloss product to protect them. I have seen people use different oils and matte finishes. I hope this helps.

Thank you. Question though… where did you get your hat?

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 4 күн бұрын

Haha. Well that's a question I can't answer. My wife bought this hat for me last year.

Great tutorial. Just a question: I follow the instructions with the exception of me having a round coaster, but when I pull up the preview window, it’s all white. If I change the mode to Stucki, I get a good preview. So then I decided to run the job, and it’s all white on the coaster. Any idea to why that is? Thank you.

great video - i have an A20Pro and I have tried slate coasters with some success - I have two questions for you why do you paint your coaster black before engraving. Secondly when you are finished engraving do you clean the slate off with a cleaning agent

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 3 күн бұрын

Thank you. I only use paint to give the images more contrast. I also like to sand my slate flat, as I prefer the flat look to the slate rather than the natural wayveyness to slate. Because I sand the slate flat, it becomes a lighter colour, which is another reason why I do it. After engraving, I use compressed air to remove any debris.

Doesn't the paint affect the natural water absorption of the slate?

@user-fe7fn9xd1l 12 сағат бұрын

Which paint did you use before engraving the slate coasters?

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 8 сағат бұрын

A matte black spray paint

@FiglioBastardo 2 ай бұрын

Why do you have to spray paint it black beforehand? Is that just to get an even color across the entire coaster so the laser doesn't give wonky gradations?
