Newbie - Help With Laser Cutting Speed And Power - 60W Laser

[shoeswith]

Hi We have a machine at work looks similar although it may have different software but its a Chinese 60w the control pad is really similar and its the same chiller unit. Like Nick said above tubes slowly degrade but these are some settings we use from memory. They may be a good starting point. There not the manufacturers just found through trial and error. Its a three year old tube. Remember materials differ as well. These settings are not for engravaving images.

9mm MDF cutting 5 speed 100% power
6mm MDF cutting 10 speed 100% power
3mm MDF cutting 15 speed 100% power
MDF line engrave speed 60 speed 20 power
Card cutting 60 speed 70 power
Card scoring 60 speed 14 power
3mm perspex 16 speed 100% power
I find ply differs a lot birch ply is tough stuff but laser ply is great stuff works similar to Mdf

All I can remember offhand hope these help

Edit the programme I am using is lasercut 5 Put corner power exactly the same as power so for 6mm MDF speed 10 power 100 corner power 100. Hope this makes sense
