If you want to engrave wood that is over 1" thick, that's perfectly fine. Just make sure that you come with a pre-cut shape to engrave upon or have a plan for cutting out your engraving after.

Job Control & Laser Cutter:
Job Control lets you set up/create Material Profiles, change between the HoneyComb Table and the Rotary tool (mostly used for Hydroflasks), and choose a location to cut on your material.

* Always make sure the material you are using is safe to use. There is an especially high risk when engraving plastics. Fumes from plastics can be toxic. Make sure you find the specific material you are using and check to see if it produces toxic fumes when burned. Never attempt to engrave PVC as it produces chlorine gas (the stuff they used in WWI).
