Frequently asked questions
What speed should I use to engrave Stainless Steel on the ACMER P2 33W?
The top-rated community setting uses 200 mm/min at 100% power. Tested directly on stainless steel at 200mm/min, 100% power, 1 pass with air assist on. Result: legible text/marks. Varying power and line interval (0.05–0.1mm) produces color oxidation effects (blues, oranges, purples) — a standout feature of the P2's high power. Black acrylic paint pre-coating not required at full power.
Can the ACMER P2 33W cut Stainless Steel?
A 33W diode laser can mark or engrave metal surfaces but cannot cut through them — metal cutting requires a much higher-powered laser or a plasma cutter.
How many passes does the ACMER P2 33W need to engrave Stainless Steel?
All settings here use a single pass. Confirm focus and do a small test burn before committing to your final design.
Do I need air assist for Stainless Steel on the ACMER P2 33W?
Yes — 1 of the 1 settings here specify air assist on. It clears smoke and debris from the cut line, improves edge quality, and reduces fire risk especially during cutting.
