100W CO2 — far less power needed than for cutting. thunderlaserusa.com blog on metal engraving recommends high speed + low power to avoid burning through the anodize layer. 400 mm/s at 15% power is consistent with the general CO2 principle: scale speed up and power down as wattage increases above 60W. Background engraving examples at 500 speed / 20–40% power also noted.

"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."
