I have built myself a laser. 60w RECI 900 x 500
On the Laserbits site they have a table with suggested speed and power settings for different materials. I am sure the laser manufacturers provide a similar guide with their machines.
Now I do understand that these suggested settings are a guide and each machine needs to find its own sweet spot. However to me they look like a good place to start from.
Speeds and feeds are generally talked of as, for example, speed 60 power 100.
Power as a percentage is straight forward. We know what power the laser is. Or at least fairly closely.
However speed as a percentage is not so clear, to me at least.
Percentage of what? Does this not vary with machine? So how fast is 100% ?
Thanks for any guidance,
Greg
