There are many variations of fabrics and textiles which can be cut on a CO2 laser, such as leather, denim, silk, netting and more. It is difficult to determine the exact speed/power setting for each material &#; it is a game of trial and error. We advise using a scrap piece of material and cutting a small square or circle until you fully cut through the material with a clean finish. For tough fabrics like leather, start cutting at a speed of 25 mm/sec and 30% power. For finer fabrics such as silk, cotton, netting etc try 50 mm/sec and 15% power.

Other Engravable Material Types

There are a variety of materials which cannot be cut on a CO2 laser, but you can still engrave them.
Please see examples of materials that can be engraved only below:

Granite &#; Marble &#; Slate &#; Glass &#; Anodised Metal &#; Ceramic

As these are tough materials, a high amount of power is needed to engrave past the surface and mark the material, please use the below settings as a rough starting point.

Glassware &#; If you lay a wet piece of kitchen roll on top of the glass to keep it cool this reduces the flaking and will help to create a smoother, higher-quality finish. Turning off the air compressor can also help. 

Metals &#; You can engrave onto some metals that do not have an anodised layer with the assistance of a thermal marking
spray or tape, there are many of these available but Cermark seems to be the most popular.
