Cutting with a diode or CO2 laser is a very misunderstood subject. Yes, it is very easy to set a few parameters and make your laser do wonderful things and there are many videos advising the cutting martix to be the complete answer to finding those optimal cuttting parameters. This video demonstrates the inherent weakness of blindly trusting what appears to be a simple exploratory tool. Cutting is a very complex subject and I explains some of the basic issues that a new user will encounter Unfortunately , diode laser users will never be able to "see" many of these issues because the technology of the laser head is inaccessable for exploration. Additionally, the diode wavelength limits the materials available to aid exploration.
ps I know that 22/32is about2/3 but my mouth said 1/3....I blame the gap between my two remaining grey cells.
