5 | CO2 | 1/4" Walnut | Glowforge | Pro | 45 | 100 | 120 | Yes | Cut | |||
11 | CO2 | 1/8" EcoBirch | Glowforge | Pro | 45 | 55 | 120 | Yes | Cut | If using 3M or DualTite adhesive on back of EcoBirch, change power to 70 (mask front!) | Always mask back or elevate off bed. I have experimented with EcoBirch and depending on the closeness of lines it can "melt" even changing settings. If I am going to do small cuts & engravings close together = I will MASK both sides. | |
