Vector cutting

• Line thickness doesn’t matter.
• Keep speed below 20 mm/s to avoid speed wobbles.

Vector fill

• 100% fill seems to be the only fill that works?

Materials

• Wood is slower to cut if dressing is applied before cutting.

Mirror alignment

1. Detach lens.
2. Reduce power to 15% for a smaller hole in the tape. (If too low, the tube doesn’t appear to lase.)
3. Mirror 1: align beam to propagate parallel with y-axis rail.
4. Mirror 2: align beam to propagate parallel with x-axis rail.
5. Cutting head: move along y to horizontally center entry into cutting head.
6. Laser: adjust angle to vertically center entry into cutting head.
7. Mirror 3: align beam to descend through the cutting head aperture.
8. Replace lens; check focus.
9. Restore power to 100%.
