Stoneware Settings

When laser cleaning stoneware, you'll want to start with its dense, low-porosity nature. This makes it highly resistant to deep penetration by contaminants, so the laser clears surface grime efficiently without soaking into the material. Make sure you keep the power low at first to handle its poor heat spreading—heat builds up quickly, which can lead to cracks if you're not careful. Adjust by using short pulses and multiple light passes, overlapping them to restore the finish evenly. Watch out for overdoing it mid-process; that dense hardness means it holds up well to abrasion but risks micro-fractures from sudden heat spikes. This approach keeps your stoneware intact for heritage or industrial reuse.
