    Newbie Needing Help Please. Laser Engraving cutting a Wavy line?

    Attachment 291788

    Please any advice on the picture I have attached. The laser seems to be cutting a wavy line along the text.

    Thank you in advance.

    You didn't say anything about what kind of laser or what kind of drive train you have, but if you have V-wheels, check that you don't have any flat spots on your wheels or dirt on the extrusions where the wheels travel.

    Drive train = what drives your axes. Do your laser have V-wheels, as in do they have a v-slot where your normal car tires have the threads, or does it use linear rails? Looking at G.Weike websitem, it looks like it uses linear rails. Then you shouldn't have any problems with flat spots on V-wheels.So I don't really know what the problem is... Sorry.
