View Full Version : Cutting at 100% power

Is it bad for the laser to always vector cut at 100% power? I always adjust the cut speed per material but wondered if I should knock down the power in regards to longevity of the laser tube?
Thanks,
Tom

I have seen nothing in my reading that would indicate a problem with cutting at 100% power.
I'd be more concerned with the results of using that much power.

I'm a realative 'newby' with an entry grade 25W laser. Just about ALL vectoring has to be done @ 100%. Ny understanding is that it will just deplete the tube faster than at lowers settings. I have an Epilog Mini 18 that runs like a champ after 1 1/2 years. I'll let you know how I make out.
