26 lip 2022 · I did some testing with my laser at 100% and slowed it down to 50 mm/m and made multiple passes. It lightly scorched the surface next to the cut and still, with something like 6 passes, did not cut too deeply into the scrap indoor quality 3/4" plywood. I doubt it even cut 1/8" down!
Depends on what you want to do. If you're only interested in laser burning images then the jtech is ideal because it doesn't take more space. If you're looking to cut anything go with a dedicated co2.
