Passes

Retraces to cut deeper

Passes are repeated runs of the same path. Two passes at speed often beat one slow crawl: less charring, less flare, and the second pass rides a cleaned kerf.

Multi-pass strategy is standard on diodes cutting 6mm+ stock. Watch alignment — any mechanical slop between passes shows up as a stepped edge.
