I'm making some items from MDF on my 80w Speedy 300 (which reads 89w in fact). It's a bit of a pain to work with as the nozzle gets gummed up very quickly, but that's not why I'm posting. I'm cutting 6mm MDF sheet, and in order to do it I have to set the machine for four passes at 100% power, 1.8 speed, so obviously as it's an intricate pattern this is quite slow. I also want my finished product to be a 12mm thickness, so at present I'm cutting two of each and glueing them together, which is time consuming.
Is anyone cutting 12mm or so MDF with a Speedy 300 and what settings are you using? Should I consider getting a more powerful laser installed... Does anyone know, if it would make much of a difference if I could upgrade to say 120w?
