Configurar corte

I wrote something about cutting with a diode laser here. Worth reviewing:

Best parameter for cut 3mm birch plywood

Additionally I’d advise that you’ve chosen a fairly challenging material and operation (cutting) as a beginner with a relatively low power diode laser. You’ll need to have a number of factors fairly dialed in to get a quality cut including: material holding - you’ll need to ensure that you can hold the material down flat and secure across the entire plane of your planned cut. Any material vibration or movement across a fairly long burn time will result in misalignment or incomplete burn. Flat…

I would say a few strategies for you in this case:

1. focus - You really need to make your focus is excellent. You may want to try focusing mid-way into the material in this case
2. speed - you may need to slow down to cut to depth
3. passes - not sure how many passes you had but another pass may have gotten you through
4. air assist - if you weren’t using it this can make a huge difference for cutting operations
5. lens - not sure what kind of lens you’re using but a longer focus lens may make cutting easier. Also, make sure your lens hasn’t gotten dirty from trying to cut. MDF is a nasty material and will leave a lot of residue everywhere.
