Good evening all.
Shenhui 350 50 watt / RDWorksV8
Having now installed the 40 watt tube and having watched the recommended YouTube, I decided to carry out an exercise to see the results of speed verses power.
To do this I again followed the YouTube test in using a clear block of acrylic.
The test was a series of 7 cut lines all set at 5 speed and power settings of 45% too 75% using 5% increases
(example 45-50-55-60-65-70-75)
Program was written and set to test the four corners, my zero is set to top left where the shortest beam is.
Tests run and now I have a fairly good idea of my lasers ability at certain settings.
All is good but there is a BUT! The cuts are not as deep at the LH Side (shortest beam) of the bed as they are on the RH Side (longest beam) in fact an average 2 mm difference at 5/45 and 3.5mm difference at 5/75.
Be interested in others views on this anomaly.
