Depending on the application I either de-focus slightly (above the material) or use 2-passes at lower power to produce better results.
Zax.
Makes sense. Very good information. I think you have answered my questions. It sounds like it would work fine for my needs. Now I need to get my patterns together and find someone who can do some test cutting
Thanks!
