    Looking for advice on lenses to use for plastics and the settings for software

    Hi there,
    I'm not new to working with a laser but I'm looking for some input on some standards for what lenses I should be using for certain materials. I use RD Cam software that came with the machine which is a 150 watt tube. Any advice and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    2.5 is a good all around lens for engraving and cutting, a 1.5 for fine detailed work.
    Didn't you get a lens or 2 with the machine???
