Laser Testing

I did some tests this evening with my new xTool D1 10W laser. I used a 9mm thick piece of Midwest Product’s Craft Ply. I ran two tests – a cut power test and an engraving power test. Shown above is the engraving test with different power percentages across the top with the speed down the side. As you can see, the laser cut the material very efficiently. The hole in the lower right was three passes at the 100/15 setting. It cut through the 9mm like butter. Crazy!

I think I’m going to like modeling with this machine. :)
