I know this is a REALLY old post, but I'm having issues with 10mil Mylar on my Epilog 30W. Vector would be ideal for the speed. I am cutting game call reeds. 1 single reed takes like 2 mins+ with raster.

Seems like this whole (old) thread is about clean edge without melt burr. Easy to cut PET, but how to eliminate the burr is quite a challenge. I just use blue painters tape and side fan (in addition to air assist).

I just had a mylar job yesterday and cut 10 mill mylar to the required shape and cutouts. I did it all in vector mode with my 80 watt Trotec. Cuts were clean and fast. There was a minimal amount of smoke residue on the back which I cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.
Settings for my 80 watt were 40 power, 2.0 speed and 500 hertz. The 7.5" x 3.5 pieces took just a few seconds each.
