To adjust for kerf or not to

[dan]

@PlGHEADED

Current laser users don’t micro-fiddle with their machines when they put in different brands maybe minor speed or power from experience, but surely those parameters are adjustable before cutting - right @Dan?

I’m afraid I don’t follow the question?

To your earlier point, unfortunately, MDF is a great example where material from different vendors (and even different batches) can vary immensely in settings. For example, I bought some 1/4" MDF from Home Depot that I couldn’t cut through on my friend’s 100W machine! But I’ve found other 1/4" MDF that cuts just fine on a Glowforge.
