Diameter of laser?

Post by gordonpb »

Hi, is there a way of making the laser a smaller diameter? I have been cutting 3mm ply recently, and the cut line is very wide. I set the gap from laser to ply as 78mm using the gauge that came with the machine. I have a 3060 with a 60 watt tube.

Not that I know of without using different lens or beam expander but I am not sure that is possible on the smaller machines.
How large is it?
You can try doing a ramp test to perfect the focus on the machine which may help.
Also make sure the lens is right way up for the focus tool (cupped surface up normally)

Please note I am not employed by HPC, any advice or recomendations I give are based on my own experience and are not necessarily the same as HPC's. First point of contact on any hardware issues should be with HPC
