I can cut 1/4 inch MDF with our 80 W CO2 laser machine, 40% and 15 mm/s, 2 passes. It takes too many passes to cut a 3/8 inch circle on a 3/8 inch MDF board even at 90%, because, when the laser reaches the bottom, the upper face is already turning into charcoal. What is your recommendation?1yr ⋅ TFIta369 ⋅ r/ChineseLaserCutters
