just got a new laser machine, 60watt, and got it set up, c02 laser, going to fine tune laser alignment tomorrow if it needs it, but couldnt resist at least seeing if the thing worked, well, it does.
I was cutting .07" plastic, and maybe 5 or 6mm above material, just eyeballed it figuring i will fine tune everthing tomorrow, and it cut through the material just fine anywhere between 50 and 60%power, and 15 to 25mm/sec speed, that is all i tried so far,
it cuts a nice fine line all the way through the material, but there are what i would call scorch marks off to the side of the cut and rubbing it down with rubbing alcohol doesnt make them go away,
any tips on what this could be, focus, power, speed? I definately need my material to be clean on each side of the cut
