Short answer: Use this page as a starter test grid for TYVOK K1 Pro 100W CO2. Confirm software units, material supplier, focus, air assist, and cleanup before using any setting for customer work.
TYVOK K1 Pro 100W CO2 starter settings table
| Material | Starter speed | Power | Passes | Test note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 mm plywood | mm/s test grid | Medium to high | 1 | CO2 speed units differ from diode mm/min workflows. |
| 6 mm plywood | slower mm/s grid | High | 1-2 | Confirm edge char and flame behavior. |
| MDF signage | mm/s test grid | Medium to high | 1+ | Ventilation and residue control matter. |
How to use this test grid
Start with scrap from the same supplier and thickness. Change only one variable at a time, then save the tested speed, power, passes, photo, material source, and cleanup note. Keep cutting and engraving settings separate.
When to choose a different TYVOK path
If the job changes from compact marking to large-format cutting, or from diode work to clear acrylic, move to the machine family that fits the material path instead of forcing one preset across different laser types.
