xTool EasySet library and community guides: 20W diode on anodized aluminum at 4000 mm/min, 100% power, 1 pass. The 455 nm blue diode can ablate the anodize dye layer cleanly. Black anodize gives highest contrast. Clear/natural anodize is very difficult without marking spray. Air assist recommended to clear debris.

"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."
