Laser air assist

Do we have control over the strength of the air assist on the laser cutters?

In lightburn there should be an option to turn it on or off. Off hand I am not sure about any control beyond that.
Thanks,

This should almost never be turned off, because it will allow a lot more dust and smoke to deposit on the lens, and usually making it burn up much faster before the lens is cleaned (hopefully before damage) or replaced.

There are ways to turn it off, but please don’t, as if you do, there’s a good chance you forget to turn it back on, and that can mess up people’s projects behind you, which has happened a number of times in the past.

This option does nothing. The air assists on these machines are not electronically controlled.
