Production guidance

This WOOD (Softwood/Pine) - Diode Engrave wood record pairs 65% power with 120 mm/s on Diode 450nm 10W, using 1 pass, machine default frequency, 0.1 mm hatch spacing, and no recorded pulse-width override. Compare every listed field with the source, lens, focus method, and material finish on your machine before transferring the recipe.

1. Standard engrave on softwood with 10W diode. Air assist minimizes charring. Source: Sculpfun/xTool material library; diode-laser-wiki.com (2024).
2. Treat this as an unverified baseline, not a production preset. A VERIFIED Parameters Library record requires three independent community vouches; an attached proof-burn image provides additional evidence.
3. Grain direction, resin pockets and moisture content move the result more than the numbers do — run the test square on the same board you plan to cut, not a different piece of the same species.
4. Diode sources need slower speeds and more passes than fiber or CO2 for the same result, and a spot that is genuinely in focus matters more than raw wattage.
5. Change one variable at a time — power, then speed, then frequency — so you can attribute the improvement when you find it.
6. Record the successful result in the Parameters Library so the next production run is repeatable.

The bundled note for this WOOD (Softwood/Pine) - Diode Engrave recipe is: “Standard engrave on softwood with 10W diode. Air assist minimizes charring. Source: Sculpfun/xTool material library; diode-laser-wiki.com (2024).” The source data was reviewed 2026-08-09; no independent vouch or proof-burn image is attached. Label the scrap test with the adjusted values and keep the accepted result with the production job.
