Laser Cutter Serviced

Google Groups
1

Hi All,

I gave the laser cutter a service last night:

  • tweaked the config to make the cutting size more accurate
  • levelled the bed
  • reset the minimum PWM so 0 is when the tube just turns on
  • reset the height of the bed so its cutting better

So it’s now cutting well again.

I have measured the kerf at 0.15mm if anyone is doing anything where you
need to know.

Ta,
Bob
