Hi,
I have recently done a very thorough mirror and laser alignment on my machine, but all of a sudden it isn't firing very well. At 100% it is barely getting through the paper protection on an...

Before the drop in power, I could cut the same material at 55% power. I'm not keen at running it at such high power atm, it is just the only way I can get the cut to work.

Will keep...

The basic problem I am having is that all of a sudden my machine is not able to cut through material it used to.

I've checked, cleaned and realigned everything multiple times, and I'm sure it's...

Hi Wayne,
Did you end up getting this sorted out with Beyond Tools? Curious how your dealings with them have been.
...and as Roger says, you are protected by various acts and regulations in...

Thanks for the ideas. I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at with drilling out the holes, but I think I've fixed it by mounting a bit of high density rubber between the two bottom screws,...

Yes, that is the lensholder. I'll get a photo of the whole part, but I am definitely thinking fixtureman was on the money. Just a matter of working out how to go about it as I can't make things...

Thanks for info...I'll check it out. Is there any go to resource on how to best do this?

So I noticed my laser cutting thicker materials at a slight angle, and aware that this is somewhat natural due to laser strength and air assist didn't think too much of it. However, I now noticed it...

An example of what I mean is when testing 6mm MDF, I get very close to a clean cut at Speed 10 and Power 40%. To make that final adjustment, should a drop the speed slightly, or up the power? Or is...

I've been playing around with finding optimal settings for various materials on my new laser and was wondering if people find it more useful to vary speed or power? I know I need to play with both...

From a quick look at Oracal's website it looks like their vinyl's definitely PVC based. So simply don't cut it.

It started to get to that point, but they were ensuring the quality of the product which would have presumably taken me longer than 6months along with the backwards/forwards shipping. I guess that's...

Hi Carl. Did you end up making a decision?

I purchased a Redsail X700 fro Beyond Tools late last year (2014). Yes the price was much dearer than ordering direct from China but I justified it as...

Have just received my new laser with AutoLaser as supplied software.
Having issues importing AI files (I can find the AI file in the 'Import' and 'Open' screens but nothing appears in the preview...

Here is a photo of my problem, which I've discovered is most likely the cause of a mirror needing adjustment.

I've fiddled with the mirror on the laser head and managed to get more aligned...

Could you post a photo? I'm curious if this is a similar problem to what I am having

UPDATE:

If I manually start the cut from the right hand side of the bed it will cut the whole image. Problem is it is cutting a mirror image of the file, so the laser head is going left when it...

I have just received my new Redsail X700 with 80W tube and have set it and software up, managing to get it operational. The problem is that it is only cutting a small fraction of the file being...

Nice result there... have you tried a full deck design? Am curious how to achieve consistent engraving across the whole board.

Hi william. I was just wondering if you managed to sort out this problem and if you are otherwise generally happy with the machine?

So I've had a bit of experience with laser cutters (other peoples) in the past, and am looking at buying my own.
This model seems incredibly cheap, and it's not being shipped direct from China. ...
