You are using a Ruida control system that uses a ‘Start Speed’ when cutting. When set at or below this setting (default is 10%), the control system will not be able to fire the laser. This helps manage the power flow to prevent over-burning in the corners. When cutting, set both min and max the same.

And these as well,
Max/min power settings for cutting through lightburn. Curious what people commonly use for settings on small intricate cuts. I was reading the lightburn manual and it discussed how if you have the min at 10 then it will help minimize overburn - ie “Min Power is used for cuts where the head will be changing directions, slowing down the speeding up again, where you want to not over burn the corners.” BUT, on the other hand, I have issues with cuts where there is a little “gap” on the cut area …
From: RDWorks Wiki - Min/Max Power (cutting)
As well as the Min and Max power settings and the speed set for the layer, the Start Speed found in the Cut parameters section of the User Settings comes into consideration.
At speeds of Start Speed and below, only the Min power is used.
Above the Start Speed, the power is increased linearly until the Max power is acheived at the layer speed.
When using layer speeds at or below the Start Speed, there is often confusion if the Min and Max po…
