Free maker tool

Laser Settings Library

Reference settings are a starting point. Your machine on your material is the only real answer.

Nothing is uploaded. It runs in your browser, so your files never leave your machine — and it stays free.

Part of the Maker Toolkit: fourteen tools that share one shop profile and one product list, so what you set up here is already known everywhere else.

Questions

Laser Settings Library — common questions

Can I trust published laser settings for my machine?

Treat them as a starting point and never as a recipe. Tube age, lens, air assist, focus height and the specific sheet in front of you all move the numbers, and a tube at the end of its life can be down 30% on power while reporting the same percentage. Test on scrap from the same sheet.

Why log my own settings when there is a reference table?

Because the reference table cannot price your work. Once you have logged real speeds, the pricing calculator and the production planner compute cut time from your machine rather than from an average of other people’s. That is the difference between a quote and a guess.

Can I export my settings?

Yes, as CSV. Worth doing periodically: the library lives in your browser, so exporting is how you move it to another computer or survive clearing your browser data.

What most makers open after this

These are not a list of everything. They are the tools this one hands off to, and they already know what you did here.

Free, and staying free

This one costs nothing. No account, no limits, no watermark.

Ten of the fourteen tools are free for good. If you want the generators that design the product, and the planner that tells you whether the batch fits your week, that is what the Hub is for.
