Laser settings

Post by ggoode23 »

Hi all - I have a 15w laser i purchased online soemtime back. I fitted it to my cnc and jtech driver. Currently runninggrbl 1.1h - using the grbl post proceesor off the vectirc site. I design in cut2d pro and save using the pp. When i start the job in inventables it starts the laser and engraves but in VERY small movents (5mm total area where its burning) so it effectively is just burning a hole in the wood. Old designs designed pre-new laser and vectric 10.5 update seem to work better and at the correct scale. Any ideas?

thanks

Graeme

Sounds like an imperial/metric mismatch to me.
