Test the colour tones of engraving on painted wood and test the edges of the triangles to see the depth of the engrave for each setting
Add your wood to the machine and use the built-in camera to show the software where the wood is. If using other machines, use the pinpoint positioning system
Move the design over your material
Check your exhaust is vented outside
Hit start on the software and on the machine when ready. Do not leave the machine unattended whilst in use
After processing has completed, remove the wood and inspect it. If needed, wipe gently with alcohol to remove soot
If you do not achieve the desired colour or depth, adjust the settings and run the grid test again until you reach the desired engrave
