Finally got around to my proper settings for the basic use of the laser. Been playing with the cut/line settings for a while but no matter how much faster or slower, stronger or weaker output I write on my settings, its just not cutting through my 1/8 ply or even paper.

Anyone?

Setup is XCarve 1000x1000  
xController  
JTech 4.2w  
what else would you need to know?
