Laser Reference Spreadsheet
Crowdsourced by Makers, For Makers
One of the most useful tools in our community isn’t a machine or material—it’s the collective knowledge shared by fellow laser users. That’s why we’re proud to feature the Member-Created Laser Settings & Reference Spreadsheet—a living document built by and for makers like you.
This spreadsheet includes real-world settings for a variety of materials (like birch plywood, cast acrylic, leather, cardstock, and more) across popular laser models and wattages. You’ll find recommended cut and engrave speeds, power percentages, pass counts, and even notes on specific finishes or masking techniques.
Whether you’re just getting started or trying a new material, this reference can save time, reduce waste, and help you dial in your results faster. It’s also editable—so if you’ve tested a new material or have better settings for a specific machine, you’re welcome to contribute!
