Creating an angled "cut" at the end of a shape

[scottmillersb]

Is there a way to cut or engrave a 45-degree angle at the end of a board to create a wedge shape? Hopefully I am explaining this properly.

@cynd11 has done some work on it. You can do smaller pieces held at an angle for cutting and also can do 3D engraving of a bevel.

Beveling edges

Is it possible to etch a bevel into a plexiglass or some other substrate? Has anyone attempted this, if so please post a pic of your results. Since the laser head is always pointing straight toward the bed, I’m guessing beveling could only be achieved by etching a slope down towards a edge. [image]

I’ve done some angled 3D engrave stuff, but never played hard enough to get exactly 45 degrees… If your piece is small enough, holding it in a jig and making a cut will be almost infinitely faster.
