Hey - thank you for a guide to this very specific problem. The quality of the video is pretty good (audio, video and "red-line" wise). I can transfer ur given knowledge to my laser. Great work!
Bro you are an Saint...thank you first of all coming out with a Falcon2 video,I bought this machine 7 months ago and with no cent made. Thank you
Glad I could help
wow thank you so much brilliant
Thank you for this video! I'm working to get this done soon! I'm happy I found your page! Cheers!

Genius 👏 👏 Thank you 🙏
We need that jig video 🔥🔥
Stay tuned.. should be up in a week or two
@@thatDIYlifeI’ll be waiting
Any update on the jig video, I tried making one and it was crooked 🥲
really like your two laser videos. Keep up the good work and cant wait to see your locking jig video.
Thanks for a great video - I've subscribed and am really looking forward to the next. I'm curious to learn more about the jigs, especially how you incorporate the honeycomb when you want to do a cut and engrave.
Great Video, looking forward to your next video.
Great video, thanks for the explanations.
I too have the Falcon 2 22W and loce it and my next project will be to make a engraving stand and then the jig templates. Cheers from 🇦🇺
The reference for the boards in amazon is 300mmX300mm. This is smaller than the engraving area of the laser. This is only for engraving, it would have to be removed for cutting so you don't cunt into the grid. This is a very nice grid and explained very well. Thank you
I believe the referenced boards are for the guides to be cut from. The base, which has the grid engraved into it, would be plywood or MDF of a much larger size.
Brilliantly described & shown..!
Glad I found this video, well done.

Glad you enjoyed 👍
Hello from Denmark. Thank you very very much. It's a really good guide you've made and now I'm lucky enough to have a falcon 22W, so it's just right to go to. I will definitely make it because it can save SO much time THANKS!!
Hello! That’s awesome, glad you liked the guide and hope it helps you save some time
This was a great video!!
This is a fantastic video, I will defo be doing this when I can settle on what laser to buy haha!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excelent tutorial.
Thank You.
Hi! How to make something similar for cutting on a honeycomb table?
A honeycomb is more making cuts
Hi, this video shows how to use jigs for cutting besides engraving with honeycomb bed: czcams.com/video/Non9lnrDzB4/video.html
Okay this is very helpfull but when i cut with the laser it leaves marks on the steel that ive put down instead of the grid. So how do you not leave marks?
I don't fully understand your question but it sounds like the position of your engraving is off.
@@thatDIYlife I use a diod laser sculpfun s30 max so when i cut material i use 100% laser power and it takes like few passes to cut but when it cuts the material it leaves a. mark of burn at the steel plate i use as a bottom
oh, that's normal. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
I've done all my engraving using this method for over 3 years now. But when you cut you probably will want to use a honeycomb bed. You will still get marks underneath the honeycomb so you might want to put either a sheet of steel or aluminum under the honeycomb to keep from messing up your nicely engraved grid. When you make a cut on a piece of wood precision is not normally need. And besides, you will not be able to precisely place your wood using the honeycomb bed. It's kinda like throwing handgrenades, close is good enough. When I engrave, the honeycomb bed comes off. When I cut, the honeycomb bed goes back on. As simple as that. I may have missed it in the video but whenever you make your jigs for, say, several coasters, make sure you 'lock' the outline of the coasters in your LightBurn file or you may accidentally move the outline. When that happens your jigs are useless. I hope this answers your question.

Please add thie File from Position 6:13 / 6:27 to the Download Links ( Thanks)
I’m going to make a follow up video for these templates and how to make them. Stay subscribed 🙂
How can I adapt the grid to my laser?
You’d have to add or remove lines and text in Lightburn to match you’re laser’s working area.
I’m new to LightBurn so it seemed impossible, but I already figured it out. So stoked! Thanks!
@@SD333. glad that worked out for you
