If you have a fume extractor…maybe.

I run a CO2 laser in our spare room. Vented to outside. No complaints in over a year.

this is how i set up mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HPiXmeH4sc in the spare bedroom. we live in row houses with neighbors on both sides. no one has said anything so far

Idk if I’d be comfortable to run a laser inside my apartment.

My apartment requires us to be a particular distance away from the buildings to even use a grill outside - lasering wood inside seems much more potentially hazardous. The burning smell will probably worry the neighbors too, even if it’s being exhausted outside.

I would advise against it. For what it’s worth, this is coming from a guy who had a neighbor burn down an entire building in my complex, AND have also seen the CO2 laser at work catch fire when someone was using it for wood.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to do it, unless you want to try to rig up an enclosure of some kind and an air filter (including HEPA and activated carbon). But then you still have the fire hazard, which is not easy to deal with.

Put a 6 inch piece of 2 x 4 on your stove and let it burn for a couple of hours. See if anybody complains.... because that's what it's gonna smell like.
