Back in October 2020, I wrote an article about cut settings for the 15W Yora Laser Module, having upgraded from the 5.5W, I was blown away by what it could do.
In this article, I introduced a methodology I used to figure out the best cutting and engraving settings for your laser module and material.
The simplest way to look at power and speed whatever power laser you’re using is as follows:
Power Setting
Higher power burns deeper, too much power = loss of detail — no effect on running time
Lower power burns shallower, too little power = loss of detail — no effect on running time
Speed Setting
Higher speed saves time — burns shallower and reduces detail
Lower speed increases time — burns deeper but too deep can reduce detail
Rule of Thumb
Double Power = Double Depth
Half Power = Half Depth
Half Speed = Double Depth
Double Speed = Half Depth
But wouldn’t you have guessed, YoraHome only went and did it again, but this time, it’s 40W of oooooo-eeeeeee diode laser power!
