The Commarker B6 30W is a 30W fiber laser engraver. This page lists 42 community-tested settings covering speed, power, passes, air assist, and DPI across a range of materials. Always run a test cut on scrap material first — results vary depending on your material batch, focus, and ambient conditions.

The ComMarker B6 30W is a 30W MOPA fiber laser for marking and engraving metals. At 30W it is faster and more powerful than most consumer fiber lasers, making it well suited to production batch work on stainless steel, brass, titanium, anodized aluminium, and copper. MOPA modulation enables colour marking on stainless steel by varying pulse width and frequency. Used by jewellers, knife makers, and businesses running high volumes of personalised metal products.

Coated / Powder Coated Steelmark
Speed600 mm/sPower60%Passes1

Extra 10W over B4 means coating ablation is cleaner and faster. Slight speed increase vs 20W. Slight defocus +2mm on curved items. ComMarker B6 60W blog material settings + LightBurn painted tumbler thread (scaled for 30W). | Freq: 40kHz, pulse: 100ns, line interval: 0.05mm

Titaniummark
Speed300 mm/sPower40%Passes1

Annealing color varies by exact frequency and power. 30W produces vivid colors well. Same anneal parameters as stainless but titanium responds faster — run test tile. Based on omglaser.com titanium note + LightBurn MOPA color speed thread. | Freq: 100kHz, pulse: 20ns, line interval: 0.02mm

Coppermark
Speed200 mm/sPower90%Passes3

Copper reflectivity at 1064nm makes marking difficult at 30W. Longer pulse width + multiple passes recommended. Full watt output, slow speed. Still marginal — 50W+ is the community consensus for reliable copper engraving. Based on omglaser.com 60W copper settings scaled proportionally. | Freq: 30kHz, pulse: 500ns, line interval: 0.02mm

Brassmark
Speed600 mm/sPower70%Passes3

30W gives noticeably better results than 20W on brass. Multi-pass at 0°/45°/90° crosshatch per omglaser.com brass coin data (60W scaled to 30W). No air assist to avoid yellowing/tarnish. | Freq: 45kHz, pulse: 200ns, line interval: 0.04mm

Black Anodized Aluminummark
Speed2000 mm/sPower100%Passes1

Creates bright white/silver mark on black anodize. Short ns pulse critical. Same approach as general anodized Al but maximise power to ensure full coat ablation in one pass. LightBurn material library listings for B6 30W confirm this range. | Freq: 55kHz, pulse: 4ns, line interval: 0.04mm

Anodized Aluminummark
Speed2000 mm/sPower80%Passes1

White mark result on colored anodize. Short pulse (4 ns) + high frequency prevents burning. 30W reference from barchlaser.com MOPA aluminum + white aluminum setting (100% / 2000mm/s / 55kHz) adapted for mark-not-cut. | Freq: 55kHz, pulse: 4ns, line interval: 0.05mm

Stainless Steel Tumblerengrave
Speed600 mm/sPower90%Passes1

30W gives a good clean dark mark on tumblers in a single pass. Rotary required. Higher speed than flat work due to consistent cylindrical surface. Derived from gweike cloud tumbler guide + LightBurn 30W anneal settings (speed 1500, 80%, 50kHz for heavy anneal — lightened for tumbler use). | Freq: 50kHz, pulse: 200ns, line interval: 0.05mm

Stainless Steelengrave
Speed100 mm/sPower90%Passes3

Deep material removal / mechanical engraving. Low frequency is more aggressive. Multiple passes with slight defocus between passes can clear debris. LightBurn forum 30W settings thread. | Freq: 25kHz, pulse: 200ns, line interval: 0.03mm

Stainless Steelmark
Speed300 mm/sPower50%Passes1

BCF/JPT 30W validated settings from barchlaser.com 150mm lens test. Same core parameters as 20W B4 but 30W gives slightly faster throughput. Dark oxide mark. LightBurn: set freq min 20, max 200. | Freq: 30kHz, pulse: 200ns, line interval: 0.01mm

Chrome Plated Steelmark
Speed2500 mm/minPower70%Passes1DPI300

Chrome plating is hard to mark cleanly — the laser marks the chrome layer itself rather than the steel underneath. Result is a subtle contrasting mark. Multiple passes can remove the chrome entirely which gives a different aesthetic. Test on hidden area first.

Carbon Steelengrave✓ Verified
Speed1500 mm/minPower85%Passes1DPI300

Deep dark mark on carbon steel — great for tool marking, knife blades, and industrial parts. The result is rust-resistant when the oxide layer forms properly. Wipe with a dry cloth after marking to remove debris.

Silver Jewellerymark
Speed2500 mm/minPower40%Passes1DPI300

Sterling silver marks with a dark oxidised surface. Test power carefully — fine jewellery pieces need lower power to avoid overheating thin sections. At 40% you get a clear mark without distorting thin wire settings.

Coated Stainless Steel Tumblerengrave✓ Verified
Speed3000 mm/minPower70%Passes1DPI300

Removes powder coat cleanly in one pass. Use a rotary attachment and the correct wrap template for your tumbler size. The 30W machine is fast enough for production batch runs. Clean the tumbler surface with isopropyl alcohol before marking.

Buy Coated Stainless Steel Tumbler
Gold-Filled Jewellerymark
Speed2000 mm/minPower35%Passes1DPI300

Very gentle settings on gold-filled pieces — too much power damages the gold layer. Test on a scrap or hidden area first. At 35% you get a subtle surface mark. Solid gold can handle 45-50% safely.

Titaniumengrave✓ Verified
Speed1200 mm/minPower65%Passes1DPI300

Colour marking on titanium — the colour changes with speed. At 1200mm/min you get warm gold tones. Slow down to 800mm/min for deeper blue/purple. Speed affects colour more than power on titanium. Always test on a scrap piece first.

Brassengrave✓ Verified
Speed1500 mm/minPower75%Passes1DPI300

Dark oxide mark on raw brass. Works well for trophies, plaques, and jewellery findings. Polished brass needs slightly higher power than brushed. Rinse after engraving to remove any residue.

Anodized Aluminumengrave✓ Verified
Speed5000 mm/minPower45%Passes1DPI300

Removes anodising to reveal bright bare aluminium. Exceptionally fast on anodised aluminium — the contrast is excellent on coloured anodised blanks. Works on all colours. Great for dog tags, tumblers, and phone cases.
