CHR Laser Engraving & Cutting We are husband and wife team that have a small home based workshop located in Gin Gin, QLD. We use lasers for engraving and cutting of numerous materials.

What is Laser Engraving? Laser engraving, is the practice of using lasers to engrave the surface of an object. Numerous materials can be engraved including:

➢ Hardwoods;
➢ Softwoods;
➢ Plywood;
➢ Cork;
➢ Veneers;
➢ Glass;
➢ Denim;
➢ Leather;
➢ Acrylics & Plastics;
➢ Latex rubbers;
➢ Stainless Steel;
➢ Coated metals;
➢ Tiles; and
➢ Stone. Laser engraving can be used for many purposes:

➢ Fine art;


➢ Personalisation of products and gifts;
➢ Customisation of products and gifts;
➢ Trophies, plaques and awards;
➢ Decorative embellishments;
➢ Commercial and industrial applications; and
➢ Much more. What is laser cutting? Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to slice materials. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The laser optics and CNC (computer numerical control) the lasers beam. A laser for cutting materials uses a motion control system to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern to be cut onto the material. The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns or vaporizes away leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish. Advantages of laser cutting over mechanical cutting include easier work-holding and reduced contamination of the workpiece (since there is no cutting edge which can become contaminated by the material or contaminate the material). Precision may be better, since the laser beam does not wear during the process. There is also a reduced chance of warping the material that is being cut, as laser systems have a small heat-affected zone. Some materials are also very difficult or impossible to cut by more traditional means. There are three main types of lasers used in laser cutting. The
CO2 laser is suited for cutting, boring, and engraving. CO2 lasers are commonly "pumped" by passing a current through the gas mix (DC-excited) or using radio frequency energy (RF-excited). The RF method is newer and has become more popular. The laser generator and external optics (including the focus lens) require cooling, our system uses water circulated through a chiller. Lasers are used for cutting of many materials including stainless steel, aluminium, plastics/acrylics, wood, engineered wood, wax, fabrics, latex rubber, cork and paper. We can cut an extensive list of art, craft, gift and promotional items along with some minor industrial applications.

Our custom products are made by us - we don’t outsource or purchase any item we make.

We source all our materials (plywood, timber, acrylic) locally first and only order from further away if we can not find what we need.

We buy our paints, glues and packaging materials at independent local businesses.

We buy our commercial items for engraving onto locally too.

We use our local post office for all our postage needs.

When you buy from CHR your money is on-spent within the local community. Our income helps fund our children’s participation in local sporting clubs.

Many products are available cheaper online but you can’t chat to the creator of that product while shopping at your local grocery store.

Your money doesn’t cycle back into your local community!
