Is there a “guide” or rules for how to compare different power Co2 lasers ? I have instructions from a supplier for an 80 watt Co2 as a starting point for engraving one of their items, if I have a 160 watt Co2 do I start with a ballpark of half the power of their suggestion and what about the speed ?
Instead of guessing which values should be used for the different machines, I will (and have) done individual tests. It takes 5 minutes and you have a nice map with an overview of the values used.
Ok, it takes 10 minutes, a cutting test must also be done next to the engraving test.
Same speed and 50% power sounds ok
