or offline through the machine's touchscreen (online operation and operation
offline are described in detail later on).
5. Place the material to be engraved in the working area of the engraving machine.
6. Turn on the low light, focus by turning the laser focus knob until a
very bright point, then the focus will be complete.
7. Move to the position you want to save and click on 'Positioning'. This point is the

10. During the engraving process, the 'pause' point, the machine stops moving, the laser
turn off; the point "stops", the laser turns off, the machine returns to zero.
11. After completing the engraving, the laser turns off and the machine returns to zero.
Online operation
The online operation is the operation of controlling the device through the software after
that the device is connected to the computer.
1. Install the software and a USB driver
2. Connect the device to the computer with a USB cable
3. Open the Laser GRBL software, select the COM port (except COM1, you can plug in and
unplug the USB cable to see which one it is) and the baud rate (usually set
at 115200), then click on the connection, the button color will become darker afterwards

List of engraving materials

material has different characteristics and differences, there is a certain error. In general, the use

Summary of the problem
P: What materials can the laser engraving machine engrave or cut?
Consult the 'List of materials for cutting'
P: What is the difference in the size of the power?
The higher the power, the greater the luminous energy of the laser head will be,
temperature of the struck material, the harder the material will be the material that can
recording and even the complete cut can achieve the cutting effect. However, the pattern
carved by high power is not small enough for a fine power. If it is from
cut, it is recommended to choose high power; if less depth is required, more
