Information
I purchased slate coasters from Amazon and wanted to know the best setting to engrave. I did not want to waste coasters, so I set up a test grid. I kept finding "How-tos" on how to setup a test grid. I wanted to post the design file I made so you don't have to make your own. I would imagine you can use this on any material. You may want to resize it to fit whatever you are testing.

Step1: Set up your file

You can use my design file to do the exact same settings. My test ranges from Power: 10 - 55 and Speeds: 20 - 250.

Step2: Engrave material
Preview
Once you finish engraving, look at the material to determine the best setting for your liking. On this specific coaster, we decided Power: 25 and Speed: 175 were the best settings. We thought this was the best setting considering Power and Speed. The upper-left side is too light. The lower-right is bulging and scorched. You can decide what you like best.
