Better Than I Expected
This is my first CO2 laser, and the setup was much easier than I expected. One thing that surprised me was the cutting power. I tested the included 3mm plywood and it cut cleanly at around 30% power in a single pass, so there's really no need to run it anywhere close to full power for thinner materials. After a few test runs, I got the settings dialed in and it's been working great.
