Hi,
I have a 30w fiber laser engraver and I am struggling with getting a smooth edge on the letters I engrave on aluminum. I engrave mostly pet tags and the aluminum is 14 gauge. No matter what parameters I try, the edges always have burrs or slag. Before I purchased this laser, I did a lot of metal stamping. Of course it is very deep and smooth. I was hoping to find parameters that would get a similar depth and smooth feel with my laser. I can come close if I go very slow with a high frequency. However, time is also money.😣 Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try?
Thanks so much,
Marianne
