Below is an outline of approximate speed and power settings to engrave popular materials. These values are a starting point and can be altered and adjusted to achieve preferred results, such as running a combination of higher power value or lower speed value for deeper/darker engraving. Included with this is a collection of customer-developed tips, tricks, and techniques used to produce custom effects and desired results and remedy common problems. It is also worth noting that the independent quality and consistency of the materials being used will affect the engraving outcome.
