How to Engrave a Mirror with a Diode laser

Learn how to engrave a mirror using a diode laser. I’m using the xTool S1 40W, but this process can be applied to any diode or blue light laser. Keep in mind the settings and set up will vary depending on your machine.

Thank you for the wonderfully helpful tutorial

Thank you, very nice technique

[@anazuniga97]

Great video!! Does it work with the Xtool F1?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes you can, use the diode laser and play with the settings but you will get the same effect.

New to lasers but what does welding do? Or do you have a video link?😊

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Great question. When you add text each letter is separate, in cursive fonts like this one you want the ends of the letters to "weld" together so it cuts or engraves as one piece. It's more important in cutting but I make it a habit to do it with all words.
