I am trying to cut three .854 mm holes spaced about 4 mm apart in a triangle pattern using .060" thick acrylic with my laser. The holes are not coming out very well defined no matter what I try. If I go all the way down to 20% power and 1.5 mm speed the top side looks decent and I don't have too much flare/excess burning on the back side but the holes are not cleanly defined all the way through. If I go to 25% power I get decent entry holes on the top side, a better percentage of clean cuts through (but still some odd-shaped holes but the back side of the holes is irregular and larger, almost like it heat melted. 27.5 and 30 continue with slightly better through holes but worse exit on the back side. I have turned down the "laser through mode" to be the same percentage as the regular laser power. I even tried turning the "laser through mode" off but that didn't help.
Laser alignment still appears good, air assist is on, laser has 67 degree water going through it. Using RDWorks 8.01.18 for my software.
Thanks.
