Obtain laser cutter setting

To obtain the setting for the machine based on a certain type of material, use these step:

  • Try to base your material thickness and hardness to something close on the setting. For example, if I am trying to cut 4mm Acrylic and only have the setting for the 3mm Acrylic. I can slow down the speed or increase the power to have the cut going through

Before trying the next method, make sure the distance of the head is good.

  • If the material is new, set Speed to 30mm/s and power 50%. Try to cut
  • If not through, increase Power (step of 10%). If through, step down Power (step of 10%) to find where the power is appropriate.
  • If Power setting is now 100%, decrease the Speed (step of 5mm/s). <-- Check with somebody at the end of this step
  • If Speed reaches 20m/s and Power is 100%, then try multiple passes with the setting.
