I think it's better for the tube to run longer on low power than for shorter periods on high power but I may be wrong.

Thanks alot, will sure try it and update.



I never ran it above 20% other than the last test I did when it was on 90% just for a few seconds.

Hey Guys,

The laser power is set on the machine from 0 to 99.99 (percent I guess) so what is the point in...

That sucks...
but thanks alot for the info :)

Edit: Fixed it!
but it only works with an annoying software called LaserDRW.
I tried with the nice software called RDWorks V8 and it doesn't communicate...
Why is that?

Oh awesome, thanks alot :)

Hey Guys,

New here :)

I have a 50W CO2 laser on the way.

I will be cutting mostly 2-4mm acrylic (just simple squares) for my business (building boxes) and would like to have a super easy...
