What are the best wood-laser engraving settings for eucalyptus outdoor armchair personalization?
Personalizing a eucalyptus outdoor armchair with laser engraving requires precise settings to achieve clean, durable results. For optimal engraving on eucalyptus wood, use a laser power between 50-70% and a speed of 300-500 mm/s, depending on the laser machine's wattage. A frequency of 20-30 kHz works well for fine details, while lower frequencies (10-20 kHz) suit deeper engravings. Always test on a scrap piece first to adjust for wood density and grain variations. Eucalyptus is moderately hard, so avoid excessive power to prevent charring. For darker contrasts, consider multiple passes at lower power. Seal the engraving afterward with outdoor-safe finishes to enhance longevity. These settings ensure professional-quality personalization for your outdoor furniture.
