⚠️ TO BE TESTED — not yet run on this machine. Derived from Tier A Metals - Deep Engraving (F254). Speed / Power / Frequency are Epilog %, Spacing is in inches, Waveform is the MOPA pulse-width index (higher = longer pulse). The mm/s → Speed % step is the weakest part of this estimate — Epilog's speed scale is non-linear. Run a test grid and correct this entry.
