Material used was generic basswood sheets from Temu, for a cheap product has a nice finish. Using a file from Digital Idea for a stickey note holder I cut & engraved on my P2S. Cut setting was speed 27, power 60 Engrave setting was speed 400 power 30 This was the best engrave finish I've had so far.

Same material on xTool P2S. Engrave stays the same regardless of thickness; cut changes with thickness.
