Avoid These Laser Cut Mistakes: Mastering the Right Settings

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How to establish cut settings for your laser based on wattage, material, and speed, by using a simple test cut grid.
In this video, I run six different lasers with the same file to show how to establish settings for clean cuts.

    @@chrisciraldo4935 Make sure you are set to mm/min and not mm/sec. Big difference! i only use mm/sec on my CO2 laser.

    Excellent video! I appreciate your sharing, especially at personal expense! And for people like me, who are just learning, these are valuable. I would, however, like to know how you decide between the settings that do work. What I mean is, do you go for max power and minimal time, minimal power for maximum time, or somewhere in between? What factors into your decision?

    Best "look". I also try to keep power below 90% when possible.

    Cut tests are for sure a must. When just engraving you can still use the test as a general idea and just dial back settings? I still have much to learn

    Yes, I also run test patterns when engraving, just not this one as it would burn holes in the wood!

    You can run this grid on the 10W as well. Results will be similar to the Jicoda and xTool D1 I showed.

    Newbie here. I have a Longer B1 30 watt. After running my first Material Test, I think I inadvertently changed settings in the Edit Material Settings - specifically Speed and Max Power settings. Can you tell me what those values should be? Thank you.

    Why would you not use 100% power to get the fastest speed every time on a LED laser? On a CO2 laser the longivity of the laser tube can be prolonged by using lower power. But is that really true for a LED laser?

    Some say that running at 100% will shorten the life of the laser. I generally run 90-100% at fastest speed that still gives good results and have not found much degradation.
