Need help with Laser adjustments

Hi everyone,

We recently acquired a Redsail X700 and have been using it for cutting cardboard and wood currently. However there seems to be an issues with the laser and its output. As the laser gets farther to the right of the bed it does not cut very well and the output looks visually weaker (Smaller flare/flame). The mirrors have been centered as the instructions suggest and also made sure the bed was level the whole way across. Kind of lost as far as what else it could be. Power output and speed don't seem to be able to counteract the laser getting weaker. Any one have suggestions or dealt with this issue before?

Thanks!

That seems beam alignment issue. Beside the mirrors/lens need to be centered. The beam need to be hitting to the center of the optics as close to the center as possible, especially for the focus lens.

It's possible that the focus lens is not sitting squarely in its mounting. Disassemble and reassemble - it doesn't take long and can't do any harm!
