Frequently Asked Questions

Results vary by material batch, focus, and ambient conditions — always test on scrap first.

What is the work area of the FLUX Ador?

The FLUX Ador has a work area of 600×375 mm (approximately 24×15 inches).

What settings should I use to cut Rubber Stamp Material on the FLUX Ador?

A community-tested starting point is speed 10 mm/s, power 82% in a single pass. Always run a test cut on scrap to confirm before committing to your project.

What can a CO₂ laser like the FLUX Ador cut that a diode laser cannot?

CO₂ lasers can cut and engrave clear acrylic, glass (with care), fabric, and thicker wood more cleanly than diode lasers, because the CO₂ wavelength is absorbed by materials that are transparent to diode light. This makes the FLUX Ador more versatile for craft and production use.
