Important safety notice

Tested on 1/8" (3 mm) basswood plywood using the xTool S1 20W. Single-pass bitmap engraving at 284 mm/s and 44% power produced clean linework with good contrast while preserving fine details. Minimal scorching was observed, and only light cleanup was needed. Recommended for ornaments, detailed illustrations, and decorative projects.
