Copper mirrors

Purchase my used red and black 60W laser from craigslist and got a really good deal. The prior owner could not figure out how to dial the machine back into place after it had been moved and decided to just buy another one.

I changed the mirrors to copper and replaced the lens to a ZnSe 50.8 focus length. Machine is running good ( able to cut through 8.5mm acrylic and engrave a clear picture and text) but suspect once I go through all of Russ's videos I will have a fundamental understanding on how to properly adjust my machine to the needs of the job. I just need to stop jumping ahead in the video series because there are some jems stuck in the middle of these videos which are off the title topic but very important.

Looking forward to try wrapping my brain around this.
