💨 Air Assist

Bamboo is harder than most woods due to silica content — needs 2 full-power passes. Air assist required. Bamboo sheets cut better than whole bamboo boards. Expect slight charring on edges. The hardness makes it durable but trickier to cut than softwood plywood.

Bamboo engraves with excellent contrast on CO2. The silica content makes it harder than most woods but CO2 handles it well. Keep air assist off for cleaner engrave marks. Bamboo cutting boards are a particularly popular item. Test on the flat face vs edge grain.

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
