Birch Wood engraving settings

[Tiffy]

I’m engraving on Birchwood, 1/8in. I typically engrave with the settings as follows:

Speed: 1000
Power: Full

I want the engraving to be a little lighter, and less aggressive. What should I change the settings to?

While all of the settings can be used to achieve that, the one that’s easiest to tweak in this situation is power. Reduce the amount of power.

Try a few different power levels on a small piece of your wood to find the appearance you’re looking for, then save and use that setting with the real design.

Is this proofgrade?

Either way, I’d like to pop this over to #beyond-the-manual for discussion of non-proofgrade settings but can’t currently.
