TEXTILES. When it comes to carving textiles such as cloth and wool, low power and high speed are often used. As with leather, special attention should be paid to the possibility of fire and dust. GLASS. When engraving glass, high power and low speed are generally used. As with ceramic, it would be helpful to run more cycles on a lower setting to avoid cracks.
Page 40
PLASTICS. The plastic used for engraving comes in many different colors and thicknesses and has many different coatings and finishes. Most of the plastics available can be engraved and cut well with lasers. Plastics with microporous surfaces seem to provide the best results because less surface material needs to be removed. When engraving plastics, low-power, high-speed settings are generally used.
Page 41
TIMBER. As with rubber, there are many different types of wood, and testing your specific material is essential to get the best results. In general, wood carvings with consistent grain and color are more uniform. Knotted wood creates an uneven effect, while resin wood creates greater edge contrast.

Page 64
Perform beam alignment at low power levels: 15% or less. Any higher percentage will cause the laser to ignite the test strip instead of marking it. Make sure to set the maximum power (not the minimum) to 15%. LASER TUBE ALIGNMENT. To test the alignment of the laser tube with the first mirror, cut a strip of tape and place it on the frame of the mirror.
Page 65
FIRST MIRROR ALIGNMENT. After ensuring that the laser light is properly aligned between the laser tube and the first mirror, check the alignment between the first mirror and the second mirror. First, use the directional arrows on the control panel to send the second mirror to the back of the bed along the Y axis.
Page 66
To adjust the mirror, loosen the nut on the screw and gently turn the screw clockwise or counterclockwise. Each screw adjusts a different position or angle. Keep track of the screws you are adjusting and the direction of adjustment. Do not turn the screw more than 1/4 turn at a time, especially test the position of the laser after each adjustment so that you can see the effect of each replacement.
Page 67
THIRD MIRROR ALIGNMENT. After ensuring that the laser is properly aligned between the 2nd and 3rd mirrors, check the alignment between the 3rd mirror and the table. First, remove the air assist hose from the laser head. Then, place a piece of tape on the bottom of the laser head and press it firmly against the nozzle.
