FAQ
Does the laser module require an external power supply?
No. It is directly powered from the CNC controller using the included 12V interface for a plug-and-play experience.
What spindle mount size does it support?
It supports standard 42 mm spindle mounts. For 52 / 65 / 69 mm mounts, 3D-printable adapters are available.
How do I engrave reflective materials?
Blacken the surface of stainless steel or aluminum to reduce reflection and improve engraving quality.
How should I clean the lens?
Use a cotton swab with alcohol to gently remove smoke residue, especially after engraving oily woods.
