Hello everybody,

I'm wrapping up my Y1200 DIY build. I think I did a pretty good job aligning the mirrors, but I'd like to get as close to perfect as I can. I ordered an American Photonics Alignment Tool (mounts in the laser head and projects a red dot beam). Anyone have experience with this device and/or method and possibly any advice?

Thanks,
Cory
