I’ve realigned the mirrors on the big laser. I was cutting 1/4 acrylic at 3mm/s, now it cuts at 8mm/s. The cut is still not straight. DO NOT TRY YO CRORRECT THIS WITH THE MIRRORS. The entire lense assembly is crooked. I’m working on a way to fix this and to ensure the height is correct. One thing. The laser was set at 34 mA today. The limit is 28 mA. The tube is tired enough. Please spread the word not to do this.

Thanks.We should have some documentation posted around the laser. I think the max mA is pretty small and barely readable.Brad

Lorin,
There’s an adjustment in front the panel for percent power. Someone had adjusted it to 95%, which read on the meter as 34 mA. ~85% is where it reads 28mA. It’s certainly been done deliberately. It could be that whoever is doing it isn’t aware that they’re overpowering the laser.

Let’s put a sticker by the power meter that talks about what it should be set and how it is set.
