Need help finding the right settings for poplar

Hey, the machine does good jobs if you are able to. Really. Be patient and do some trail and error, it will work.

Maybe do some searching in the forum would also help.- Don´t missunderstand me, i want to help but be a bit creative how to get it on and write all parameters in your post.
if it just get a picture with 4% before it burns, what speed did you run?- get it to more (for example 500mm/s) and turn the power on.

Check if the focus point is right, the dot should be the smallest possible.- Try it manually if the autofocus didn´t like it should.

Maybe this helps you too: [Sapmaker how to laser]
