I just got this machine a week ago, I have aligned all the mirrors and done a ramp test. I’ve tried running it all the way up to 85 power/ 5 speed and it still isn’t cutting through 1/4inch Baltic birch. Any suggestions would be appreciated
80W from G Weike (LC1390N)
80W can cut 1/4" easly , around 10mm/s. Are you sure it is perfecly aligned? Are you working with correct focus?
How is it when cutting other products?Quote:

Plywoods can be tough to cut.
Some of the glues used have mineral fillers in them and you can't laser rocks.
Baltic birch can be a problem in that even 1/4 inch has multiple layers of glue.
I even have issues with certain multi layer plywoods when using a CNC router.
Sparks fly off the bit which is then sucked into the vacuum system.
If other materials cut without issue, its the glue, not your machine.
