Hi Everyone

I’ve just purchased my first laser having used cnc for a while.

Looking to gather information on the correct setup of my machine and become accustomed with the laser.

I have a Chinese 7050 machine at 100W.

Regards

George

Thanks Pete

At the moment I’m struggling to get the mirrors lined up correctly, I seem to be losing a lot of power through them not being correctly aligned.

That is a great topic Pete- I copied it to the FAQ Laser Beam Alignment forum. The K 40 walk thru is great.
