Fast raster at 300mm/s and 20% — the CO2 beam gives a warm brown engrave without burning through. Drop to 15% for lighter marks on pale basswood. Grain direction affects contrast so rotate your artwork 90° and compare.

💨 Air Assist

Single clean pass at 70% — pushing higher causes edge charring without improving cut speed on this 30W tube. Air assist is essential to prevent flame and keep edges clean. Always do a test strip when opening a new sheet as density varies between batches.

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

"I was struggling with lining up my NFC business cards. I was able to not only line them up much better but also do multiple cards at once — making that job so much easier."

"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."
