Every machine is different — so we don't sell you a magic number. CutLog gives you a trusted starting point for gas, pressure, nozzle, focus, pierce and passes, plus a one-click LightBurn test grid. Burn fewer sheets dialing in 6–25mm metal.
Full cutting parameters for 6–25mm steel, stainless and aluminum: assist gas & pressure, nozzle, focus, pierce and passes. Not a magic number — a head start.
A power % doesn't carry across machines. CutLog normalizes to energy-per-length (J/mm) and scales a setting to your laser's wattage automatically.
Generate a LightBurn material-test grid that sweeps speed or power. Run it once, pick the cleanest row, and confirm the setting for your machine.
Tell CutLog about your laser: brand, wattage, and current lens. Takes 1 minute.
Pick your metal (mild steel, stainless, aluminum) and thickness — 6mm to 25mm. CutLog returns a starting point with gas, pressure, nozzle, focus and pierce, normalized to your wattage. Engraving materials supported too.
Generate a LightBurn material-test grid from your starting point, run it once, and lock in the exact setting for your machine — fewer wasted sheets, faster to production.
