[Lab] rastering with laser

[Darcy Whyte]

The procedure I use is to look in the manual and then experiment from
there. Or I just guess. I make a 1/8" circle as a test.

The thing is it all depends on what effect you are looking for. For vector
cutting usually you want just enough power to get through... But sometimes
with wood it's fun to use a little extra.
