I was doing some low-power paper cutting today and thought I’d try out another delicate item—a feather! I figured that the interlocking structure would allow it to stay together, and it did, just barely.
Some magnets to hold it down, otherwise the air assist would cause it to take flight:
Fly! Cursive might not have been the best idea. Big block letters would probably work better, but wouldn’t fit as well with the elegant soaring theme of it all.
It’s a very cool effect because it’s burning through the tiniest interlocking parts of the feather, but not the thicker pieces that come off the main shaft. This leaves it almost like lace.
Not normally. Something is going on today with the Calibration effort. Assuming it is temporary. My unit calibrates one time after power up. Consistently takes 90 seconds or less from the time I turn it on.
