Ok that's made me a lot happier...guess what semaphore I've just been doing

There are some minor issues with using knarl'd out beams (ie: getting them straight by the final mirror only) but it only really affects the bigger machines with full flying optics like the 1290 and 1690 where the distances involved get pretty long

It won't make it easier

If possible you need all three mirrors as close to centre as you can get

think backwards, the screws usually PUSH the mirror away from themselves when you turn clockwise

So the chillers stay powered up and running 24/7/365

Pine is a bit tricky with the grain and resin etc. It cuts and etches/engraves unevenly often. :lol: These lasers seem to be a bit of a minefield once you get passed the glossy brochures :D They are machine tools in effect buddy, same with all machinery like them I guess. The literature is accurate...

Especially Acrylic ! Yup, 50 yards in light drifting air isn't unusual. Less if there is no wind, possibly more if the wind is strong. but did you read my last post above? I did :) It appears a good majority of users on all the forums I have read use a quiet inline extractor, How many of them are u...
