New laser power supply resulting in new process

I recently bought a new 100w power supply for my 90w Cloudray tube. The power supply has a remote adjustment for power. I find that I cut paper to cardboard to engrave and cutting that all take different power settings. I don’t like to blast thru materials at full power. So from Lightburn I could need various files of the exact same vector to cover the various power levels.

What I’m now doing is to send all files over with 100% power and then set a lower power on the power supply. For example I needed to make a large cut in thin glued up board. So I have something that’s roughly 300mm square. The pattern barely fits. So I taped a piece of paper down to the honeycomb and ran one pass at the lowest power. Then positioned the board over the paper making sure it would cut everywhere. If it didn’t completely cut thru then increase the power and take multiple passes.

To me each new file might result in a shift in the pattern. So running one pattern or file is safer.
This might be a common feature in lasers btw.
