Recommended Cut Settings

Notes About Glowforge Settings

These cut settings come from us testing on our Glowforge Aura & Spark which uses an inline fan and is vented out the window. If you are using the Glowforge filter you may need to add another pass to these settings.

Notes About xTool Settings

Every machine can differ. These settings are what worked for us on our M1, we recommend doing a small test cut in the corner of your material to see if the settings need to be adjusted for your machine.
