Material Power Speed Resolution Air Assist Passes
Wood (Light/Medium) 40% 300 mm/s 3000 dpi On 1

Additional Tips for Successful Engraving:

  2. Use High-Quality Materials: High-quality wood, acrylic, or leather ensures that the final engraving will be clean and crisp. Avoid using materials with heavy grain or imperfections.
  3. Use the Right Focal Length: Adjust the laser focus for optimal engraving depth. For most wood and leather projects, a focal length of 2.0” is ideal.
  4. Clean the Lens Regularly: Ensure your laser lens is free of dust or debris to maintain engraving precision.
  5. Ventilation is Key: Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated when working with wood or acrylic to prevent smoke buildup and improve the quality of your engraving.
