Do not use. 

So what happened was the tube mount slipped, hence the misalignment. Possibly why it was good, then slowly got terrible again. 

Remounted tube, working on realignment. I will be back in tomorrow for at least an hour, and at space work day Thursday for the entire evening.

I will post when it's fixed.

Laser is useable, but still has a wide ish kerf. Safe to use, and refer to the latest calibration grid.

I'll be taking it out of service again this weekend to try and poke it a bit further into alignment.

When you say this weekend, when does that mean? I have 3 small items needed to be cut. Can I cut them first (I'll be coming 6 30 or 7 tonight) before you take it back out of order?

After watching Zeke use the laser*, I have an idea for a new rule:
If anyone outside of the person using the laser has to push the timer button, the person running the laser owes the other a dollar.

Don

*Zeke was not actually lasing at the time, I'm not calling him out to get in trouble. But the timer box ~was~ on.

Laser is out of order again. There is water actively leaking, and I will need to lean on Ray to fix that part. 

Thank you to Jonathan for notifying me that it was broken the instant it stopped cutting.

Not to my knowledge. I resolved the water leak but Bailey still needed to align it.

No, I've been dealing with a massive mold problem in my basement and extra hours at work and will get to it as soon as I am able.
