Image as well.
Rotate image 90 degrees if necessary.
Set parameters for engrave
• Parameters for 40 watt power laser (Program: RDCAM)
• Speed(mm/s): 300 Max
• Power(%): 20
• Interval(mm): 0.05
Material: solid birch, plywood birch
Speed and power must be chosen by experimentation.
Video

Jacob from United States
I am a beginner at CNC, I’ve never used a CNC machine before and with in a day I was carving. An awesome machine for a beginner to learn as hobbyists. I used the manual and the help video. One hour to assemble and test, very friendly and easy to use. It’s a good buy for the money. I would definitely recommend this machine to someone getting into CNCs.
