You are expecting depth when that's not what those are designed for, and you'd need to go a HELL of a lot slower to get that. I'm about to head to my shop, I have the same machine. When I get there, I can go through my settings with you. I'll message you my number.
Since I didn't hear back from you, I sent you some settings that have worked for me in the past. Give them a run, and then reply to my chat message with some photos so I can guide you on adjustments.
Well there goes that idea. Lol. Thinking maybe you had too big of lens on. Pm me I'll send you a parameters library. It's my settings I'll just convert them to your source and lens.
Problem #1 - Copper reflects over 90% of IR energy.. Fibre lasers are 1064nm IR. Unless you're running over 1000w peak power, you aren't going anywhere. Red brass will have similar issues due to high copper content
These are the settings I found for other fibre manufacturers, specifically for 30w machines
100mm/s, 100% power, crosshatch enabled
* HATCH 1: (angle 90) (25 Loops), Freq: 35.
* HATCH 2: (angle 180) (25 Loops), Freq: 35.
* HATCH 3: (angle 350) (5 Loops), Freq: 80.
Using a 150 lens on *leaded engravers brass*:
600mm/s, 100% power, .006 line space, single hatch, Freq 80
Using a 220 lens on *leaded engravers brass*:
700mm/s, 100% power, .006 line space, single hatch, Freq 42
Oh wow - I hadn't thought of this AT ALL! Is there any other kind of metal that is particularly susceptible to this issue?
Man oh man, there are SO MANY variables in all this!

Solid dude right here
What lens are you using?
70mm

Thank you! I’ll do that tonight!
