Right power for new laser

therefore 10,000 mw = 10 watts.

But but but … 10,000 is so much bigger than 10!

Advertised maximum machine speeds have a … shall we say … more subtle honesty:

Is there a way around GRBL 1.1 $110 and $111 value limits?

My new Genmitsu Jinsoku LC-50 Plus claims movement speed of 20,000 mm/min. When I went into the GRBL 1.1 controller to adjust the $110 and $111 values for the X and Y maximum speed, it would not allow me to enter 20,000. For $110, the maximum value I could enter was 16,200. The maximum value for $111 was 15,200. I do not plan on running anything at these speeds but would like to know if there is a way to get a larger value entered into these two parameters.

As the saying goes, if you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.
