Cork Coaster

Tested Dollar General cork coasters with Engrave. Laid the coaster flat on the base plate. Did tape it to keep it from possibly shifting. 

Not sure how to adjust the settings Xtool pulled for my project and is listing it with only 1% power. I believe it has my settings on the default "unknown" material settings which is not what I used. 

The actual settings used for this was:

25% Power
225 MM/s
200 lines/cm
1 pass
10-15% air assist

I did not put painters tape on the cork as suggested by others. The burn already comes out clean with very little to no halo burn marks.

Precautions

Wear goggles that match the wavelength of the light source

When operating with open covers or using open-type devices, be sure to wear laser goggles that match the wavelength of the light source. Different light sources (blue light/infrared/CO2/UV) have different wavelengths; please pay attention to whether the wavelength protected by the goggles matches the laser;

Before cutting, make sure the fire extinguishing equipment is in place

Before starting cutting, place the CO2 fire extinguisher or blanket within one meter of the equipment in a location that is easily accessible. Combustible materials such as wood and acrylic carry the risk of ignition.

Flammable materials should be placed near the smoke exhaust outlet

Flammable materials such as wood, paper, and fabrics should be placed near the exhaust outlet, so that sparks and smoke generated during processing can be promptly removed, reducing the risk of ignition.

Handling when a flame alarm appears

If a flame alarm is triggered when processing flammable materials such as plywood, acrylic, or polyester mesh: stop processing immediately, maintain smoke exhaust operation, and only open the lid after confirming there is no open flame. Do not open the lid directly to promote ignition.
