To achieve optimal results with your laser cutter, consider adjusting the following settings:

• Power: This controls the laser’s intensity. Higher power is ideal for cutting thicker materials, while lower power settings work better for engraving. Adjust based on the material thickness and type.
• Speed: This setting determines how quickly the laser head moves. A slower speed allows for deeper cuts, while faster speeds are suitable for etching or engraving. Experiment with different speeds to find the right balance for your project.
• Frequency: This setting affects the number of laser pulses per inch. Higher frequencies create finer details in engraving, while lower frequencies are better for cutting. Adjust based on material type—more delicate materials may require a lower frequency.
• Focus: Properly focusing the laser beam is crucial for precision. Ensure your lens is clean and calibrated for the material thickness you are working with. Regularly check the focus to maintain optimal results.
• Air assist: Using air assist can help to remove debris and cool the material, leading to cleaner cuts and engravings. Consider enabling this feature for more intricate projects.

Always conduct test cuts and engravings to refine these settings for individual materials.
