Important safety notice

Settings are starting points — always run a test cut on scrap before your final piece. Follow your manufacturer's guidance, wear eye protection, and ensure proper ventilation.

This is a 9mm pine wood live edge board from Amazon. These are the best settings I have found for this wood.

Same material on xTool F2. Engrave stays the same regardless of thickness; cut changes with thickness.
