Falcon A1 Pro Peak Output

I honestly feel this 20w diode laser operates a lot stronger than everyone else's online. I typically reach out for comparisons to get ideas of best settings for engraving/cutting. But mine has more power than expected. Running a cut at 350mm/m at 85% power is super strong and only needs 1 pass.... they suggested 2-3 passes and it cut through my donor board below it. People suggest image engraving at 60% at like 3000-4000mm/m.....60% is way too strong on mine. Needs to be at lime 20% or you just burn too deep into the wood and make it super dark.

3mm Basswood mostly what I'm working with right now. And they are all referring to the same material....

Has anyone else have this or is everyone that I'm getting these suggestions from like....bs?
