Uncut start of way

Hi, can you please advise. Is there any way to ensure that the beginning (3-5 mm) is also cut through when cutting the poplar plywood? I can increase the power or decrease the speed, but then the rest will be pretty burnt. A ramp like a cnc milling machine would be good. Thanks.

If it is a closed shape you could use the ‘overcut’ function within the cut settings (Advanced Tab), you specify the distance that the laser will continue past the end of the cut.

I didn’t notice that, that’s great. Thanks a lot

Depending on the project type, you can also use lead-in or lead-out to start at a point outside of your object (e.g. if your material would melt strongly when a high-powered beam is ignited).
