Just started using 1/4" BB ply. have used 1/8". Anyway, put a piece in to get settings for vector cutting, like always i set power at 100, and take a guess at speed and adjust from there.
I cut 3/16 acrylic at .8% speed and 100P so i started there.
Mostly through but not quite all the way clean.
Adjusted speed down to .7s, Got it. All is good.
Played with PPI, down to 100ppi, all is good, nice edges.
Here it is. Not sure why but i decided to adjust power down to 90%, just because. Perfect. 80%, perfect. Down to 605 and still cuts just like 100p with less discoloration. Great.
Confused about WHY or HOW. If i cant increase speed, how can I adjust power down that much???
Should I go back with all my materials and readjust power down?
Are there certain materials where less power is best? Is it better for the laser to run less power??
Thanks in advance.
