KERN Laser Cutting Tool Drawers – Foam Cutter
This is laser cutting tool drawers by a Kern Laser system. We started by scanning all the tools with a scanner. Next we positioned each tool in the CAD program and then finally clicked on "cut" on the Kern Laser Cutter. The foam is 1/2" Thick tool foam and then glued to a colored plastic or foam. The machine will also etch and engrave numbers on your tools. Visit us at www.kernlasers.com.
