So it took me a bit to figure out the difference when I first learned about laser cutting, but the way I understand it is power is how powerful the laser beam is each time it fires, and current is the frequency at which the laser fires. Does that help?
@@FullSpectrumLasers Thanks for taking the time to answer. In the interim I found another video you all did addressing the question. I believe he said the difference between power and current is to think of power as the gun and current as the bullets being fired from the gun. Or probably more precisely the rate of bullets being fired. So, the more current would equal faster rate of bullets exiting the gun in this example. Do I have that right? I still don't understand what current is actually "doing" to the piece or what the point of it is though. Hmm. Thx again for your help. Not only with this reply but with your channel. Cheers.
@@warnermcgee8856 Yup, that's it! It took a while for me to gain an understanding of it once I had the knowledge of the differences. I just ended up testing different cuts/engravings.
What is the relationship between Power, Speed and Current? I’m mostly interested in Current. How does Current differ from Power. Thx.

Why don’t you show how to do it?
Can a 10w cut cardstock ?
We don't sell 10watts - the smallest wattage we sell is 45watt!
@@FullSpectrumLasers how much a 40w?
Are you sure that is a 45 watt? The laser shows “40” watts
I believe we put the badge on the laser head before we upgraded the tube to a 45W. The Muse is available in both wattages.
