power and speed settings

Post by brian257 »

I have been looking at web sites that have suggested speed and power settings for cutting and engraving different things and they all seem to express power and speed in a percent. Seems that most base the power on a 40W tube so that is easy enough for me to figure out, but I have no idea on what 100% speed is based on in mm or inches per minute. Anyone know what would be typical for 100% speed?

hi there
usually the 100% speed is the max speed you set in the manufacturer settings between 300 and max 500mm/s for the K40 systems.
it just works in mm
