Test a wide range of settings to ensure your engraves get through the wood stain. Use the colour chart to select the right settings to produce high contrast engraves on painted wood. Tested on water based low VOC paint
Add your wood to the machine and use the built-in camera (or positioning system) to show the software where the wood is
Check your exhaust is vented outside
When ready, hit start on the software, then hit the button on the machine. Do not leave the machine unnatended whilst in use
After processing has completed, remove the material and wipe with alcohol gently if needed to remove soot. Do not sand the wood as it will remove the paint.
