Before your work begins

Step 1: Place the Brass Stamp

Lay the brass blank flat on the laser bed. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of fingerprints or oil, as these can affect marking quality.

Step 2: Import Your File and Confirm the Laser Marking Settings

Open your preferred laser software and import your design file (SVG, DXF, or image). Adjust the size, rotation, and position of the design to match the exact area you want to engrave. Then make sure the laser marking parameters are set correctly.

Tip: Always double-check your design dimensions in the software to ensure they match the actual marking area. Use the “preview” or “frame” option to avoid accidental misplacement.

Step 3: Focus Your Machine

Focus is the key to success. Once focus is ignored, the results may not be satisfying. Before you start, make sure you have finished focusing.

With the Aurora Lite, you have two ways to achieve perfect focus. The first method uses the red-dot pointer to assist—simply adjust the laser head until the two red dots overlap, and you’re good to go. The second method, which is often more precise, is manual focusing with a focus stick. Adjust the height of the laser head until the focus stick just touches the surface of the material in a perfectly vertical position. Whenever possible, use manual focus for better accuracy.

Step 4: Frame the Design and Start Laser Marking

When we click the “Frame” , we can see red light show the outline of marking area. It’s safe, and the frame will be on the surface of the blank stamp. Once it isn’t, move your brass stamp or design until they are at the same position. Once everything is adjusted, simply hit ‘Start’ to begin laser marking the brass stamp with the Aurora Lite.

Step 5: Monitor the Kaser Marking Process

Keeping an eye on the machine allows you to spot unusual conditions—such as error alarms, smoke build-up, or unexpected pauses—before they become problems.

While observing, remember that the laser beam is extremely powerful. Even with the protective lid closed, avoid staring directly at the marking spot for too long. A quick glance to check progress is fine, but prolonged gazing should be avoided for safety reasons.

Step 6: Clean the Brass Stamp

When the marking is finished and the stamp has cooled, clean the surface with water and a toothbrush to remove metal residue. Or you can use a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber towel—avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the brass finish.

Step 7: Complete the Laser Marking

Your Christmas brass wax stamp is now ready to be mounted on a handle or used directly.

Come and Try!

There’s something deeply satisfying about sealing a letter with a stamp you made yourself. If your holiday season includes handwritten cards, wrapped gifts, or small personal rituals, this brass wax stamp is a project worth trying. Load the brass, start the laser, and create a Christmas detail that feels slow, thoughtful, and truly handmade.
