Thank you for making this video. Just received my AF2028-80 today and was surprised that the tube came packed in it's box and not installed in the machine. From a shipping safety standpoint, this is a great idea. From a first-time laser owner standpoint it was more than a little intimidating. This video made the process of installation super easy and safe. Thanks again!

Thank you for the feedback!

[@danielleneidig8610]

I kept watching your older video and couldn't figure out what you were talking about on several items...this video is what I actually needed!! Thanks!

[@EdmondsWoodshop]

I wish all lasers had the same setup but unfortunately they don’t. I try to record what o can for the items that i have

[@markm49]

Thanks for the video - my 80w arrives this week so plenty to learn!

[@ROCKEezy]

Great instruction video of this process! AIRBORNE!!

[@EdmondsWoodshop]

Glad it help!

Thank you, this is an excellent video. My AF2028 is due here in a couple of days and I feel better prepared to install the tube. I also got the LED lights and will be doing both the fan and light upgrade right from the start.

[@EdmondsWoodshop]

The tube is pretty easy to install. Once you get to alignment, check out my other alignment video.

Thank you so much for this video. I have found little to no info for installing these. Everything Omtech had was with a white connector and I searched high and low to find. It has been a very frustrating day. Subscribing to your channel. Thank you again.

[@EdmondsWoodshop]

Glad I could help. Are you in our official OMTech group? We have our setup guide pinned there or on our website laser-guys.com/setup

Thank you. I just got my first laser and have to install this tube. Omtech support said to watch their video online on how to install tube but they don't have video for this tube. Also I noticed the head of the tube looks like it will be shooting beam low on mirror number 1, and I don't see how to adjust the tube higher, So do I have to lower the first mirror lower or am I missing something. I've shared this video to help others in this situation.

[@saltimothy9160]

Hey why did you shift to Yongli I’m curious about the performance vs price for either option

[@EdmondsWoodshop]

I recently sold my MF2028-80 and got the AF2028-80. The new laser came with the YongLi laser tube. I also have a YongLi laser tube on my OMTech polar. I’m a thoroughly impressed with YongLis laser tube performance versus the EFR.

[@saltimothy9160]

@@EdmondsWoodshop thank you very much. My mf2028-60 is probably running EFR i cant seem to tell since the label is tilted inwards but only time will tell about performance maybe then ill try something new. Definitely giving you a subscribe.

[@softwaresolutions3224]

Does the tube needs to be check for level or aim to mirror1 while installing?

[@EdmondsWoodshop]

You’re going to be so close to mirror 1 that you’ll be hitting, but you can always do a pulse check to see where it’s hitting. Level won’t matter. When you get your pulses on top of each other, you’ll want your pulse to hit center at mirror 3. In order to adjust your pulses, you’ll shim your tube to get the pulse to move at mirror 3. I plan on making a new alignment video on this.
