Hi guys, would love your advice on what lens to use when cutting cardstock.
Got the K40 up and running with Don’s help fixing the y-axis sensor (thanks again!) - I’ve been cutting somewhat simple designs into 100lb cover cardstock - I uploaded a stock picture for a rough idea of the type of design I’m cutting.
Currently, I’m using:
- stock 50mm lens
- upgraded dust collector exhaust
- air assist
- Settings: 12ma at 40mm/second speed
It is cutting through well, but does leave a fair amount of charring on the backside - increasing speed and power result in the cut getting a little too wide and sloppy.
Would a different focal length lens help when cutting paper to more tightly focus the power? Thanks!
