I figured you used the little plastic guides, just didn’t see it in the video. The laser looked a little high from my bit of experience, which lens are you using?
I believe at that time, I had the G2 lens in. It does have a higher focus range. I start off with the appropriate plastic focus guide just above the short side and adjust from there to get the tightest beam.
That makes sense, thanks again! This is exactly the questions I’ve had when trying to use the laser… even more so now that I have a spindle. How to switch from one to the other! My only other issue is that the 7W laser isn’t great for cutting
Very good info! Thanks again Jim!! I’ll have to hook mine up and give it another go!
Let me know if you need any help. I run zoom sessions from the Longmill group so I can hop on if you had problems.
Did you set your z height on the laser?
You set the initial height with the Z in gSender then the focus ring will get you set up.

Now that I look back at the video, I wasn’t focused at all. The video was more for gSender operation since workflow was more in question
