The Setting Converter estimates a starting point for a different wattage of the same laser type. Say a setting is for a 40W machine and you have a 60W — enter the source setting and your wattage and it gives three graded options:
- Balanced — hold the speed, adjust power.
- Faster — keep the power, raise the speed (best for cutting on a stronger laser).
- Cooler — lower power and slow down (delicate/heat-sensitive materials).
It keeps energy-per-length roughly constant, and it never pushes a CO2 setting past 90% (running a glass CO2 tube at 100% shortens its life). It will not convert across laser types (diode↔CO2↔fiber) because the physics differ — always verify on a test grid.
