<DIV>Hi Joseph,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are trying to make a single-pass cut, you can use the following very
general and arbitrary guide of material thickness (MDF) for Epilog lasers:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3 – 4 mm = 30 Watt</DIV>
<DIV>4 – 7 mm = 45 Watt</DIV>
<DIV>7 – 9 mm = 50 Watt</DIV>
<DIV>9 – 12 mm = 60 Watt</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Assumes full power, a clean & properly focused lens, and a speed that
doesn’t overly burn the material.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck!</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hey guys,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know a lot of you cut MDF regularly with laser cutters. What's the
maximum thickness they can go through? Where have you been finding the sheets?
Most of the stuff at the box stores appears too thick, and Epilog's site doesn't
seem to yield any answers...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know it varies, but I'm sure there's a ballpark?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
<DIV>Joseph</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
