I have this steel knife that was made and I would like to put my logo onto the blade. I have a ometech 50w laser. Im very new to this and tried to do a bunch of research but still haven’t made much progress. I need help with what settings to run on in order to make a good engraving. The lens I am using is a 1064 mm
When I want to know which settings to use, I do a material test on a sample of the same material I intend to record. This way I get the best options for my machine, since the parameters change from machine to machine even if it is the same brand and model, if I intend to get the best possible result.

Okay thank you, that kinda helps me but I’m so new to the software and have watched videos as well but I’m still kinda clueless. The knife I am using is my testing material but I’ve been sitting there for hours messing with different settings only got it to lightly graze the steel and leave only a little mark that isn’t defined at all
I don’t know what lens you are using…
I got this settings from Laser Everything and have not used a lot of them, but they supposedly worked fine for them. At least it’s a start point. It’s been modified to adjust from the 30W they have for my 60W MOPA. So use them at your own risk

I did a couple of them on a $1 knife and it worked pretty well… LBT100 coating on the left, porcelain tile, knife and dog tag…
I have not tried this so test first. This is from laser everything for my 50w 300x300. The setting is named anneal. I have used this settings with my 60w 200x200. Only difference is the power is way lower (27)
