Laser engraver

The TCCS Board of Trustees recently purchased an Epilog 50 watt laser engraver for use in the technology education program at the Tidioute Community Charter School. The machine was purchased December of 2018 and delivered in January of 2019. The engraver is a very versatile tool that will be utilized by many classes in the school. It has already been put to work engraving the school’s Chromebooks and technology for identification. The engraver will mark metals, engrave many mediums including wood, plastic, glass, powder-coated metal, and cut various materials to 3/16 of an inch thick. Students in the woodworking classes have been able to customize projects with engravings after they have been finished. The engraver allows TCCS to create its own awards and fundraiser opportunities. The following organizations donated towards the purchase of the engraver: VFW post 8803, Tidioute VFW Ladies’ Auxiliary, King Building Supply, Tidioute Lions Club, and Tidioute Knights of Columbus.
