Troubleshooting

Scratches on the surface

Ensure you are using a clean work surface and tools. Replace or protect the sheet to prevent scratches. Light scratches can sometimes be buffed out.

Sheet cracking during cutting

Adjust cutting speed and power settings. Ensure the material is properly supported during cutting.

Cloudy appearance after cutting

Ensure the cut edges are polished if necessary. Double-check your cutting parameters (speed/power) and the type of material you use.
