*Don't forget about the 20 pack of individually wrapped 1/8 inch (3mm) - 12x12 Baltic Birch for $27.18! That's $1.36 each!* This is the cheapest price on Amazon for this type wood, and being individually wrapped guarantees they are flat and ready to use, every time! This is a GREAT FIND! amzn.to/3NE8PgT

I use two magnets at each location I secure it to the bed. One on the bed and one just above it on top of the wood. Having said that I really like this option and just placed an order. BTW she has a place on the order form for notes. I put in there that I heard about her pin here on your channel.

I have designed some 3D printed hold down pins for myself in the past, but had not seen the stand-off style before. The results look great. Will definitely be handy for smaller CO2 machines without a downdraft table.

Great video Rich, and what a brilliant idea. I think I'm going to try and design & 3D print my own set of pins. I have the exact problem you were mentioning about having small areas that don't quite burn through and I end up having to use my knife to cut them out. I can see how flashback would cause this issue. Bravo for posting this video... catch ya later!!!

After watching this video, I decided to try this. I ordered the spacers and had them 3 days later. I immediately tried to burn a Christmas ornament and compared it to a previous ornament I cut earlier this week. There was a substantial difference between the two.

Hello Sir, You appear to have Light Burn down to a science. That being said perhaps you can explain why I can never get anything the actual size I want. When I put width and height in at the top of the screen the image is never that size. Example: I want an image to engrave at 3 inches tall I get 2 3/4 inches tall . Framing before engraving doesn't match either, it's always much larger than the size I want the engraving to be. I have changed from mm to in and in to mm, makes no difference. I never get the final engraving at the dimensions I need.
