Hello and I hope all is well with everyone. We currently have a 60W c02 glass tube on a boss 1630 laser. We have been thinking of buying a second machine with a larger engraving area and a more powerful tube. My question is if we use a 2” focal lens will there be loss of detail on our finer or more detailed logos and such if we went from a 60w to something around 120-150w?
Also, I’ve read that you can get more detail from an RF tube over a DC tube (not sure if we are ready to make that investment yet), but if we do go to a 120w tube should we seriously consider a RF tube or will the DC be close to the same on quality of engraving?
As far as detail is concerned, we engrave several hymns (only the ones in public domain) on alder plaques, so the music notes above the words can get detailed.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.
