I’m making plaques with Rowmark Naturals Black Galaxy/White 1/8" and Sapphire Blue/White 1/8" for the first time and I have some good settings for the engraving but cant seem to get the cut setting right. I’ve tried a few but they’re either too strong and almost catch on fire or its slow and a rough cut. Any help appreciated!
Thanks!!

Thank you I do have that list which is where I started from but have not found the right cut settings. Need to cut tomorrow hoping someone will have some advice.
i generally made a small, 0.25" square and start with a setting. then shift 0.30" up or right and tweak and go again and just keep going until one works.
if you’re having problems with burning or rough, i might suggest two higher speed (or lower power) passes. or even three. it may be better to minimize the amount of heat in those passes.
Ok thanks I’ll try more than one pass and some more experimenting.
My first question would be - did you try the PG acrylic settings? They’ve always worked for me…
I’ve had success starting low and moving up keeping speed high till I hit 100% laser then backing down the speed.
