Calibration: 
Properly calibrating your laser cutting equipment is paramount to achieving optimal performance. This involves fine-tuning the precision of the cutting bed, directing the beam accurately, and ensuring proper alignment. Consistent calibration throughout the cutting process is key to maintaining accuracy.

For example, with the LONGER laser, precise calibration ensures that the laser cuts through materials effortlessly, producing clean and accurate results every time. The fixed focus feature allows for consistent cutting depth, minimizing the need for manual adjustments.

Material Selection: 
Different materials react differently to laser cutting. Understanding the properties of the material being cut, such as thickness, density, and reflective properties, is crucial for identifying the right settings for the laser. This knowledge enables you to adjust parameters for optimal cutting results.

For instance, when cutting delicate materials like paper or fabric, the adjustable power settings allow for precise control over the cutting process, preventing scorching or burning. On the other hand, the LONGER Laser's rapid speed and high precision make it ideal for cutting through thicker materials like wood or acrylic with ease.

Test Cuts: 
Before embarking on engraving complex or intricate designs, conduct test cuts on a spare piece of similar material. This allows you to fine-tune the power, speed, and focus of the laser to achieve the desired effects. Testing also helps uncover any limitations associated with certain materials or potential issues.
