### How to cut bevels on a laser cutter?

To cut bevels on a laser cutter, you will need to adjust the angle of the laser head and the power settings of the machine. Follow these steps to cut bevels on a laser cutter:

1. **Adjust the angle of the laser head:** Most laser cutters allow you to tilt the laser head to create bevel cuts. This adjustment is usually done manually by tilting the head to the desired angle. Make sure to consult the user manual of your laser cutter for specific instructions on how to adjust the angle of the laser head.

2. **Set the power and speed:** Bevel cuts may require different power and speed settings compared to regular cuts. Experiment with different power and speed settings to achieve the desired bevel angle and cut quality. Start with a lower power setting and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired results.

3. **Prepare the material:** Before cutting the bevel, make sure to properly prepare the material. Secure it firmly on the cutting bed to prevent it from moving during cutting. Use masking tape to protect the surface of the material from burn marks.

4. **Test cut:** Before cutting the final piece, perform a test cut on a small scrap piece of material to ensure that the settings are correct. Adjust the power and speed as needed based on the test cut results.

5. **Cut the bevel:** Once you have determined the correct settings, you can proceed to cut the bevel on your actual material. Start the cutting process and monitor the progress to ensure that the bevel is being cut accurately.

6. **Finishing touches:** After the bevel cut is completed, remove any masking tape and clean the edges of the material if needed. You can also sand or polish the bevel edge to achieve a smooth finish.

By following these steps, you can successfully cut bevels on a laser cutter. Remember to practice and experiment with different settings to achieve the best results for your specific project.
