This handgrip pattern was engraved on a hardwood handle using 60 watts of power delivered through an FH Series marking head. A 370 mm lens focused the CO2 beam down to create a 540-micron diameter spot with a 20 mm depth of focus. In order to achieve the required depth and texture in the sycamore stock, the mark file was designed to deliver four passes at a marking velocity of eight inches per second. Total cycle time for engraving the 1-inch by four-inch pattern was 62 seconds.
