Hi all .... well I purchased Photonics Reverse Laser Pointer .... I put it in my Laser Head and the beam was exactly in the center .... when I checked from the Head to 2nd Mirror it was out considerably .... I then looked down on the Laser Head and noticed the block the Head is attached to is out quite a bit ..... should I be concerned or can adjustment of the Mirror on the Head overcome the alignment issue .... at present the laser is engraving and cutting quite well .... I don't understand why .... I'm attaching a pic.

I appreciate any incite to this situation.

If you have good alignment in each corner I would not worry about it. I googled the beam alignment tool you mentioned and have not seen that before- reverse beam alignment has proponents and also people [like Russ] who do not believe in it. The size of the bed has a lot to do with how difficult it is to get good alignment in all four corners, as well as every thing else of course.

Thank You for your reply Gene .... I usually like the Motto .... if it ain't broke ... don't fix it

Take Care
