A demonstration of the steps taken on my xTool S1, XCS, and finishing the engraving of an image on a wood surface. The material is wood from Michaels to engrave on.  Stand was purchased from there as well.  The setting for my final engraving is: for the image 17% power/75 mms(Take your time to allow the laser to work and do not risk over-burning the material) For the text I used 64% power/128mms both at 180 LPI.  I hope this helps.  leaning forward while working out of the garage.
