Help with PVC covered SS
(OP)
We are tring to cut 3/16" SS with a PVC cover that says "for laser cutting". If we remove the pvc we get a better cut. Also, is it possible to get a dross free edge everytime? Can anyone help me? My machine is a 4K Mazak(only 2 months old)
Thanks
Thanks

AS FAR AS YOUR CUT WITH DROSS ON IT...WITH A 4K LASER IT SHOULD BE CUTTING LIKE A HOT KNIFE THRU BUTTER...

Are you sure that that is "laser vinyl"? All the laser vinyl I use has zero adverse effects on my cut quality or speeds and feeds. While etching is a solution, it is expensive to run the program 2 times. Do a little more research with your material supplier, you would be surprised what kind of garbage they try to push on us.
Or, if you're desperate, mirror your part in CAD, and cut it with the vinyl opposite the way you're cutting it now. Before "laser vinyl" I would cut my material vinyl side down.
Good Luck
