221 LASER!!! 🎯How straight is yours, if not, what to do about it!!!

Interesting to see the changes in machines.

[@jphergan]

Use blue painter’s tape instead of those silly targets that aren’t even secured. Rub your finger around the edge of the hole to Mae a mark/target on the tape. Then check the alignment of the tube to the first mirror. Don’t waste your time with testing the 2nd and 3rd mirror until you know the tube is aligned. Then align the other mirrors in order.

[@KE4YAL]

Brings back memories alignment is what it’s all about Thanks for sharing

Great video. I engraved a cross hairs onto my discs makes the process even better

It seems like 45 watts is pretty high simply to mark the paper target. I would think you could set the power much lower to produce a smaller dot which would give a better indication of exactly where the laser is hitting.

[@flamingomtn]

Excellent video. Got my machine all focused.

[@chriselliman]

Nice video! Been watching a few of your vids with confidence as an owner. I am new to the game.... Not ready to tune my laser yet...... but this is another example of how easy it it to do so.

[@ARIN4UK]

Looks easy until you start doing it. Especially on a 1390!

[@norm4x]

Excellent information! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! Nice video.

Thanks, I'm about to tear what little hair I have out of my head I have a Redsail 1290 130watts good unit when running propper, Crook operator, I will give your discs ago, got to be an easy way to aline the mirrors. AU

[@ARIN4UK]

It's a real pain in the ass! I have a 1390 and struggle to align it.

[@turboflush]

@@ARIN4UK I have a 700.. No issues. I wonder what difference is. I have gotten pretty good at adjusting. I have noticed most videos miss many things and make things to complicated or to simple.

Hello, Please could you tell me how to take out the mirror at 14:30 on your video, I have a new set to change but cant see how to take this one out? Thanks.

Hi Roger, i'm using laser cut 5.3 on a laserscript co 2 lc, and it get s no where near your performance but also all the speeds, feeds and power aRE SET IN LASERCUT there is no option to set them on the machine.

What are the disks made of?

[@joshlotts6732]

I don't see a silver leg on that C3-PO. I guess this was made before the Mandela effect took hold. lol

[@bryanzimmerman167]

where do you get the little disc to go over the mirrors ?

[@rogerwebb9600]

I cut them out with the laser

[@markgearing]

I'm wondering if there's an alternative method that doesn't require so much fiddling with pieces of paper. Would it be possible to put a smartphone on the cutting bed with the face camera directly under the laser nozzle, pointing up into the nozzle and be able to adjust the mirrors in reverse order? So, I put a target over mirror 2, then adjust mirror three until I see that target on my 'phone, then move the target to mirror 1 and adjust mirror 2, again until I see the target on my 'phone. Finally, shoot the mirror 1 target (after removing the 'phone) to align the laser. This method, if it works, would allow the user to watch the alignment happening in real time, rather than taking laser pot shots to see how the process is progressing. I don't have a laser cutter, so I can't try this. Is it a workable method? EDIT: I should also say, it would probably be necessary to remove the objective lens from the laser head to do this.

[@rogerwebb9600]

Hi Mark, you are also looking at the shape of the beam and tracking that beam so I do not think the phone idea will be successful. Thank you for watching, Please forward the video on to a friend, Australian Inventor Roger Clyde Webb ;-)

[@ARIN4UK]

I have just found today a reverse laser alignment tool. Check American Photonics. And search KZbin for the video. Good luck.

[@ianjackson8643]

now you will have to re-do all your previous tests since you have altered your power output

[@freebird1963]

whys the red dot so far off from the actual point the laser hits ?

[@philsowers]

The sight LED is on an angle and not aligned with the laser's beam.

[@wildone1584]

This procedure won't work if the tube is not square to the laser head rail. so how do you square up the laser tube.

[@rogerwebb9600]

[@tassiespirit]

Where do you enquire about these Lasers Roger, as I am in Tassie myself?

[@I_Play_VR90]

What kinda laser do you have beside a 100 watt. I do like the metal mirrors. Can they spot and where did you get the device you used to test the wattage?

[@rogerwebb9600]

eBay

[@wildone1584]

SO, What if your laser tube is not square to the first mirror ???

[@rogerwebb9600]

You would use a parallelogram calculus between the gantry the laser tube and the Y axis!!!

[@rickbrobst9253]

Are you only adjusting in the middle of the platen for a reason? I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to align my mirrors for a few weeks a few hours a day and am pulling my hair out. I go to the farthest position and fire and it hits the middle. I then move back to the closest position and fire a test and it is then to the left by 10mm, almost at the edge of the mirror. I have tried moving the laser and the mirrors to correct this but it just moves in equal adjustments as far as my closest to furthest test fires. The dot stays on the center line but spaced apart. Not sure what to do about this. Any suggestions?

[@ARIN4UK]

Did you ever solve this? I have a 1390 and I struggle trying to align mine.

[@deonbroodryk4404]

thank you, very help full. vid,. I have 1 question i still cant seem to fix my Laser. on my first mirror when i test the alignment the burn mark on the paper is more a ring with a unaffected spot in the center and not a solid dot . any idea what could cause this. Grateful if you could help

[@rogerwebb9600]

It would indicate that your laser tube needs replacing, unfortunately, this is a classic example of a bad (DYING) laser tube. A laser is a gaussian shape.
