How wide is the kerf (laser beam width)? Does your CAM software offset for the kerf on your end? Or should the user add offsets to the design file?


too technical detail I think but anyway, yes it is compensated on our side!


Thanks. For artistic uses, yes it's too technical. But for mechanical design, it seems like an important piece of information. If it is compensated on your side, you're right, I don't necessarily need to know the exact width -- but please put the fact that it is compensated on your website. Would also be helpful to know for the internal corner radius of a nominally square internal corner.


It's important when you're making thin slots or need to know the roundness of inside corners.


noted - I see that another user too asks for more technical details so we'll add those on the website directly.
