Scan Gap Settings Help.. in LaserCut 5.3

[Donald Ethredge]

I'm not sure where to set the Scan Gap in LaserCut anyone that could do a screen capture for me, also I have a 60w laser and the settings that I was given for Power and Speed don't seem to work right. So now wondering if I'm missing something..

On cardboard to cut I have been using Speed 25.00 and Power 50.00 but on a sheet I got they have power 50 speed 400 but if I use that setting it does not cut so... am I mis-reading the numbers.Capture.JPG

Scan gap/Dpi is only used when in engrave mode. It is the same as resolution. I am not clear on what you are reffering to about the cardboard. You are not going to cut through anything at a speed of 400.

you must double click the color under layer in your pic then it will pull open a box where you can set the scan gap. hope this help please let everyone know if that is what you were looking for!

Hi Donald,
Visit the www.rabbitlaserusa.com site - Ray has been generous enough to post many tutorials and informationals in the use of our chinese lasers of most any brand, but especially those using a Leetro Controller Board.

See the common speeds & power settings pdf for vrious types of materials and a handy scangap/dpi chart.

Happy lasering,
Vicki

That site is also useful for other brands , they all work more or less the same.
