These charts are intended to give you a starting range, from which you must dial in with testing, use scrap that is the same material and thickness as your intended work piece and use a small test pattern( e.g Laser Coin) to fine tune your desired results

'''WARNING!'''  Above all other warnings, never, ever, EVER cut or engrave anything with the word vinyl, pvc, polyvinyl chloride, etc in it's name.  It will release forms of chlorine gas (incredibly toxic and caustic) which will quickly degrade the components in the machine.  Even with the exhaust running, the 'smoke' from cutting pvc can permanently damage the machine and your face.  DON'T DO IT!
