    Question Speed % to mm/s question

    Hello,

    So I'm up and running and I have a question for y'all regarding speed. Most people refer to speed in %, my machine is rated at 0-600mm/s so my question is, if a speed of 10% is suggested for my 60W machine, should I be dialing it to 60mm/s? Another example, if a cutting speed of acrylic is suggesting 0.7% speed should I be dialing my machine in to 4.2mm/s?

    Thanks!

    Sounds logical just use 600mms as 100% and divide accordingly 50%=300mms (ect)
