Source-documented settings for the Monport 40W CO2 Laser Engraver
Manufacturer-published reference parameters, not tested by CutChart
Match the machine, material and operation before reading a value. Speed is shown in the source unit and in mm/s, rounded to two decimals. Each row names its publisher and the date we read the document. A field the publisher does not print is shown as not specified; CutChart never fills it in.
No publisher prints air assist, focus and lens for any row below, so every row repeats that field with the name of its own publisher.

Read the evidence in context
Our source process explains the checks behind a row. The speed converter changes units; it does not move a setting to another machine. Check power labels with the optical-watt decoder, and read the safety limits before choosing a material.
Common questions
Can I use a row on another machine?
Each row belongs to the stated machine and configuration. A matching wattage or material name does not establish a setting for another machine.
Why are some fields marked not specified?
The publisher’s table prints speed, power and thickness, and sometimes passes, but not air assist, focus or lens. CutChart shows each unprinted field as not specified rather than filling it in.
Why are some combinations absent?
CutChart publishes a row only when its source, exact machine, material, operation and a sourced material-safety statement meet the reference requirements. An absent row is an unknown answer.

When a laser engraver engraves or cuts materials, it casts a high-density laser beam that heats the surface to vaporize materials without burning them. But most materials are inherently flammable and can be ignited, which may burn the machine and the surroundings.

Publication date not printed by xTool · Read · Captured
A high-density laser beam is used by the device to irradiate the material to be cut or engraved, so as to heat up the material surface and vaporize the material without burning. But most materials are inherently flammable and may be ignited to form an open flame that can burn down the device (even if it is made of flame-retardant materials) and its surroundings. Experience shows that vector cutting with a laser is most likely to produce an open flame. In particular, acrylic has proven to be extremely flammable in vector cutting.
