💨 Air Assist

Cardboard cuts very easily with the 40W S1. Community support threads and the xTool official cardboard guide suggest 80% power at 300mm/s cuts corrugated cleanly in 1 pass. For thinner chipboard/craft board (~1–2mm): 50% power at 400mm/s is sufficient. Air assist recommended to prevent scorching and flare-up on cardboard fibers. Adjust power down for single-ply cardstock and up for double-wall corrugated.
