A laser and hobby CNC reference that describes converting power and speed settings between machines, with sources, formulas, and material-safety guidance.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-28 issue.

For: Laser engraver and hobby CNC operators
Worth noticing: Community settings are meant to include counts of matching reports, while calculated values expose the conversion formula.

Field notes

Each setting is labeled as maker-published, a software default, community-reported, or calculated from another machine. The homepage also links to tools for line interval and DPI, kerf and joint fit, exhaust and fumes, job pricing, and rotary work; material guides for wood, acrylic, and stone or metal are explicitly marked as coming next.
