I’m sorry. I don’t mean to “burst bubbles” or be “contradictory”. And thank you for the kind words.
I have the Neje A40640 but had never really taken the time to find settings which yielded results comparable to my trusty little Eleksmaker 2.3W laser. And, with the little laser always at hand, I had no real pressing need to spend time “mastering” the Neje laser for tile. But when I finally started playing with the slate’s “forgiving” nature, the Neje easily did the job and I decided to revisit ceramic tile. And, once I did a proper NWT test tile, I finally found the settings I needed. – David

An aside and explanation…
I’m a former EE, worked many years in industry on government projects, and often met with customers interested in our progress on multi-year projects that pushed the bounds of current technology. I also have a long-running thread on needle-cutter development on the Flitetest forum.
When development work is done out in the open where everybody can see it… the most accurate information is usually found later, toward the end of the thread/timeline. Earlier findings/conclusions are often “contradicted” by later findings/conclusions when doing something new… but you can only share what you know, or think you know, to be true at a given point in time. There’s no malice/deceit intended, that’s simply the nature of the work… and you hopefully get smarter – and share more accurate information – as you go.
