Bare Aluminumengrave
Speed800 mm/minPower95%Passes2DPI300

Deep ablative engrave into raw aluminum. 2 passes at near max power for a visible groove. Good for nameplates and signage where a tactile mark is needed. Expect some burr on edges — clean with a fine file or brass brush.

Bare Aluminummark
Speed1500 mm/minPower85%Passes1DPI300

Raw uncoated aluminum — harder to mark than anodized as there is no coating to remove. IR oxidation mark. Higher power and slower speed than anodized. Result is a dark grey/black surface mark. Clean surface first with IPA.

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

"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."
