Hi all, I have been browsing this site for a while, as to looking for a material guide for different settings for my 50watt Co2 laser machine. I imported a Chinese model from Strong Sign Digitech, I could not see anyone here on the forums with any of these models that the company sells, but I did notice that nearly all manufacturers use the same parts so the machines only really vary in looks etc.
The Guide I got with the machine is not very informative because of the bad grammar and lack of information needed for a person that is new to this hobby to understand and operate.
I only want to cut and engrave acrylic of different sizes. The engraving will only be small letters and lines with a font size of about 15 or more. I would like to know if anyone has experience with different speeds and power settings for say white 3mm / 5mm and clear 3mm / 5mm acrylics ?
Another note too, I seen people say the laser tubes you get with the machines from China might not be the best quality, so I am looking to order something reasonable from company that wont break the bank that sells good tubes.
Heres the site and model I purchased if anyone is interested in knowing the specs and model.
