Our company just got a LASER Cutter from SiroLasertec.
It's got a number of settings, but even when the tech guy was here, he couldn't figure out a setting for cutting through 1.5mm of 24K Gold.
I am aware that 24K is difficult to work with (it splatters, seems to burr like butter with a hot knife, and sometimes re-melts right back so it won't cut clean).
Does anyone know a ballpark good setting for the power, speed, frequency, to get a clean cut?
We got an ugly ugly cut and had to move the nozzle away from the surface, due to the splatter getting into the nozzle hole.
I just need a starting point to go with, then I can play with the settings until we get something acceptable.
Thanks in advance.
If you do not have info on 24K gold, but know of some info on other Karat Gold, or even Silver, that would be appreciated as well, as we cut precious metals, here.
