Test the perfect settings for hardwood engraves.
Lightly sand your material using 120 + 180 grit paper, then remove all dust with a blower or a brush
Add your material to the laser bed
Add your material to XCS using either the material positioning map or a camera
Centre your design, then hit start in the software
Ensure your exhaust is vented outside
Hit the button on the laser to start the job
Once finished, lightly sand if needed with 220 grit, then 320 grit if needed or wanted
Done!
