💨 Air Assist

Oak requires 2 passes at full power to cut 3mm. Dense grain means more char on edges versus softwoods. Air assist is essential. Check sheet flatness — oak tends to warp. Score the reverse side first on thicker stock.

Oak is a tight-grained hardwood that engraves with excellent contrast and fine detail at 40W. Slower speed compensates for the density. Run a material test grid to dial in contrast — lighter marks at 50%, darker at 70%. Grain direction affects texture. Wipe with a dry cloth after.
