quickly rotate my wood piece

Perhaps these discussions will provide some ideas:

Burning a single letter on each of the six sides of a one inch cube of wood

I’m afraid of getting over my head here. Currently using LaserPecker to burn letters on a once inch cube of wood. Each cube takes about 25 minutes to burn. At my age (70), I feel like I’ll be 80 before I can see my idea come alive (which I won’t be anymore!) So… I’m considering the purchase of a diode laser (Emblaser 2) with the hope to be able to lay about ten of these one inch wooden cubes side by side and burning in ten letters in about 2 minutes. The hope is that I can use LightBurn and…

Perfect Alignment Producing Unaligned Cuts

I am cutting relief engraving into each face of cubes. I am having issues with Lightburn messing up the alignment. I was running into this issue with a jig I made previously, so in the process of trying to debug the issue I have created a new jig. To do this, I created alignment marks in each corner and verified the position was as expected. I then used print-and-cut alignment with the marks in order to align the board. Once aligned, I cut all of the jig positions. Without resetting any settin…

Placing a single different font in 56 one inch squares which can each be moved if needed

Seeing all kinds of tutorials on spreading out the fonts of a sentence or putting it on a curve, etc. But I’m wanting to engrave a single font on a one inch cube (with 56 one inch cubes total having different letters on each cube). Because of the font style I may need to adjust just that one letter up a tad or down… So is it possible (I’m 72 years old) to create a layout for 56 cubes (7 across 8 down) that I can come back to and enter different fonts in each cube with the freedom to make a sl…

The key to all of those processes is having the machine set up so that it homes correctly and has stable positioning.
