To Mask, or Not To Mask. Thunder Laser BOLT Engraving. Working With Wood. 010 4K

So, why wouldn't you use mask on your wood engravings? I'm early in the learning curve, but I am trying to think of why I would not always use it. The BOLT provides a pretty clean wood engrave but masked, it comes out clean with no scorching or burn marks anywhere. If you have a minute, let me know in the comments when you wouldn't use a mask. Thanks!
