Equivalent to ~330mm/s. CO2 at 10.6µm ablates the anodized dye layer — does NOT mark bare aluminum. Starting point from LightBurn forum (forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/is-it-possible-to-engrave-aluminum-parameters/28508) and CNCSourced guide. Run at max speed the machine can handle at 70–80% power. DPI: 300–500 LPI. Results vary significantly by anodizing color/thickness — always run a test strip. Light blue/black anodizing responds best.

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
