Instruction
1
Step1
Preparation
- Measure Your Board: Measure the width and height of the cutting area on your bamboo board.
- Masking (Optional but Recommended): Cover the engraving area with blue painter's tape. This prevents smoke stains (scorching) on the wood surrounding the design. You can peel it off after engraving for a crisp, clean look.
- Place the Material: Set the cutting board inside your xTool workspace.

Step2
Software Setup (XCS)
- Import the Project: Open XCS and click Import to import your design file.
- Resize: Click the lock icon to maintain proportions, then change the size to fit your measurements from Step 1.
- Position: Drag the design to where you want it on the virtual canvas.

Step3
Settings & Printing
- Set Parameters: Click on your design and set the Processing Type to Engrave.
- Recommended Starting Settings (for 40W Diode Lasers on Bamboo):
- Power: 10%
- Speed: 140 mm/s
- Lines Per cm (LPC): 100–120 (higher density = darker engrave)
- Recommended Starting Settings (for 40W Diode Lasers on Bamboo):
- Focus: Use the kickstand or auto-measure feature to focus the laser on the surface of the board.
- Framing: Click Framing. The laser will trace a rectangle on your board showing exactly where the design will go. Adjust the physical board until it is perfectly centered.
- Process: Click Process (or "Start") -> Start.
- Finish: Once done, remove the board and peel off the masking tape (if used).

Step4
Pro Tip: Bamboo creates a lot of soot. If the engraving looks dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth or a little rubbing alcohol after peeling the tape.
