- How to establish cut settings for your laser based on wattage, material, and speed, by using a simple test cut grid.
In this video, I run six different lasers with the same file to show how to establish settings for clean cuts.

Thanks for taking the time to show this , very helpful
another very informative video. very helpful info for us who are just starting out.
great SMART VIDEO Thanks
Fantastic video!
I just ordered the b1 I’m super excited and have really enjoyed watching your videos and learning from you it’s like mr rodgers for lasers haha
Simple project coming up shortly on the B1 as "beginner Project 16"
Loved the 16project video still trying to figure out settings on the b1 my lightburn time and what it actually does is nowhere close
@@chrisciraldo4935 Make sure you are set to mm/min and not mm/sec. Big difference! i only use mm/sec on my CO2 laser.
Newbie here. I have a Longer B1 30 watt. After running my first Material Test, I think I inadvertently changed settings in the Edit Material Settings - specifically Speed and Max Power settings. Can you tell me what those values should be? Thank you.
Excellent video! I appreciate your sharing, especially at personal expense! And for people like me, who are just learning, these are valuable. I would, however, like to know how you decide between the settings that do work. What I mean is, do you go for max power and minimal time, minimal power for maximum time, or somewhere in between? What factors into your decision?
Best "look". I also try to keep power below 90% when possible.
Cut tests are for sure a must. When just engraving you can still use the test as a general idea and just dial back settings? I still have much to learn
Yes, I also run test patterns when engraving, just not this one as it would burn holes in the wood!
@@rogersshop Thank you for your response
Please do one for Longer Ray 5 10W !! Thanks for your videos! :)
You can run this grid on the 10W as well. Results will be similar to the Jicoda and xTool D1 I showed.
@@rogersshop Thanks! Will do! I bought the Ray5 just a month ago. Keep up the good work on this channel. I have learned a lot.
Why don’t you use lightburn’s material test feature that makes these test grids?
I have. they work too.
Hi Roger, I have a sculpfun s30 promax 20w. I make a cutting test but i can cutting max 10 mm/min %100 power for 3 mm plywood. I’ve ever cut for than 10 mm/min What’s the wrong, can you help me?
Check that focus is correct. Check that lens is not dirty.
@@rogersshop I think all of them is right but İ’ll try again. Thank you so much.
Why would you not use 100% power to get the fastest speed every time on a LED laser? On a CO2 laser the longivity of the laser tube can be prolonged by using lower power. But is that really true for a LED laser?
Some say that running at 100% will shorten the life of the laser. I generally run 90-100% at fastest speed that still gives good results and have not found much degradation.
