We just got our laser yesterday. Thank you for this tutorial. Very nice and thorough.

Bruh, THANK YOU!!! I had the hardest time trying to get mirrors aligned. This is truly the best tutorial I have seemed on this because I was missing that last mirror focus procedure!!! Thank you!!

Just got my laser set up and started calibrating today. This is just the video i needed. Thanks Cam!

Thank you so much for this video. I bought a laser 18 months ago and still haven’t used it because I couldn’t find a video on how to adjust the mirrors. This is so informative and you make it look easy to do.

Amazing video! I saw a few others who confused me more than I was, came across yours, and helped me out so much. Thank you!

This was more helpful than OMTech's official alignment tutorial video. Thank you!

Just ordered the 2028 80W today. Can't wait to get it thanks for the videos they will definitely help me.

Thank you for the video, it really helped me get my laser engraver going. I was going crazy not knowing why it was not working. This video solved my problem. Easy to follow, and I got my laser working in no time.

Thank you so much Cam! It took a while but I was able to align my mirrors with your video. WHEW.

Best video I've seen yet for doing this! Thanks for sharing the knowledge

I've had my 50w CO2 (this laser) for a number of years now, but I love looking for better views of doing this. What I did was create small birch ply insert sizes, so I can put them in the circles, then use the painter's tape to hold them there. It makes it a lot easier. My circles cut out actually have the compass markings/target rings (some 1 and others 3 mm apart for fine tuning). Your video was developed for anyone to be able to and understand! :) Great job.

I rewatched your video and thank you for putting this out there. Big help!

🎉 thank you!! My 2440 100w was not cutting and I couldn’t figure out how to align the mirrors. I thought they were until following your video. Now they are definitely aligned and my laser is back to cutting 😊

I just received my omtech laser and have been watching many videos on setups. I can tell you that this is one of the top 3 videos I have seen. You do a great job explaining and showing the process! Keep up the good work.

I watched your video again and see where I missed a step. I think this will solve my problem. Again, thanks for taking the time to make such a great video

Incredible, thorough and precise video. Thank you.

Nice video on beam alignment! This will help me immensely!

Thanks for that, I cleaned out my machine yesterday. Found it to be uneven, so fixed all of that. Went back into aligning mirrors but having issues. After watching the video, I see that I forgot to check the lense alignment. Missed one, ah well, back to checking again tomorrow. Great detail and tips,

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Is really helpful.

This is much better than the omtech tutorial. Thank you for posting. I have an AF2028 on the way

GREAT VIDEO!! I have really been considering purchasing a laser and I believe you have sealed the deal for me. I have been very imitimidated about a laser since I have never used one. Thank you!!

For those with higher power laser (60W has min 20% power for me) or cheap thin masking tape (the 3rd fire I decided something else was in order) White Hockey Tape is working fantastic

Great video Cam. Thanks for the help!

Best walkthrough on the net. Thanks Bud

Excellent explanation! I'm doing this tomorrow for the first time. Hopefully this helps...

Thanks for the run thru it explains some of my issues so thanks again

Thanks for the video. I’m hoping this will help me finally get mine done.

Great job. Thx. Will be aligning one of these machines, tomorrow - so, very helpful/timely...

Dude, this is awesome. Thanks for the video!

Dude....thank you so much for this video! I've been going nuts on how to troubleshoot my lasercutter.

I just set up my machine and this video is very helpful, thank you

I watched this video to set up my machine and it was very helpful, thank you very much!

Mate that's so thorough thank you so much!

This was so helpful and I got my machine set up thanks to your video 😊

awesome tutorial. Very simple explanation

Thank you for such a clearly explained process.

Thanks so much for your video. It's the best alignment video out there

makes the process easy to understand ....Thanks for the info

Good instruction video. Well explained and takes time for showing the details. Recommended.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for sharing. This will be very helpful

Finally got around to uncrating mine and doing the alignment. All fairly easy until the very final (Vertical) alignment. Took me awhile to figure out the beam was hitting the side of the nozzle. It would leave multiple holes in the tape! So what I finally had to do was loosen all three adjustment lock nuts and uniform the gap of the mirror holder/frame to at least get it to clear the nozzle.

I have a Laguna PL12/20 Your video was very helpfull- Thx

I followed the steps in this video. When I do the pulse test on the 4 corners, the two on the left side are off. What mirror do I adjust to correct this? The left is further down.

Best video on this that ive seen

This was a great video, the best I have seen on how to line up the mirrors. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video, it was a HUGE help to me! You Rock!

Thanks Cam

Thanks allot Cam great video

GREAT JOB

Great video! Thank you.

thanks, this video helps me today a lot....

Very good video, thank you so much!

Thanks so much excellent video

thanks so much! Your video was fantastic! It is basically dummy proof!

Thank you for tutorial. It helps me a lot...❤❤❤

thank you, very useful

thanks for the video

Good tips.

Thank you!

Heck yea. Thank you for the video. This is the best video out there and it was very helpful. Liked and subscribed. 👍🏼

awesome video great job

Really good video, thanks! I do wish you had more issues with the final adjustments to more effectively show that part.

Thank you

Thank you!!

Awesome video and explanation just what i needed :-) new subscriber

This was great. New or tech laser came today and this part was challenging with their very unspecific videos. My 80 w still has one other adjustment directly at the tube where yours is just flat. Can’t seem to find any info on this but your video helped. Af- 2028

Super informative video, thank you! Quick question on using the hatch that allows you to slide a large piece of wood in. How do I callibrate and account for the material being lower, and check that my laser is focused on the material.

First off use aluminum foil behind painters tape and then no worries about residue on mirrors. Then Simply add tape on top off old tape. It'll speed process up considerably. On 3rd (head mirror) do the mirror alignment without the nozzle and lense in there. Pulse near then far. Then the step you forgot. Make sure the tube is square/alignment. Pulse with nozzle and lense in tube. Make cross hair on wood. Lower table and remove nozzle/lense assembly. Raise table and Come back to same spot as first pulse with lense in/before cross hair marking. Then adjust laser tube up/down, left/right accordingly. I do this for a side gig and have done many. Good video but use these tips and do tube alignment. Then you will have great straight cuts and full power/focused beam all over laser (if bed is also square/same distance to the head). Follow video below. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5txo6yisriWoIE.html

What up dude. Curious if youre making more polar vids. Like alignment

I just found something that works well on the nozzle alignment is I had a mirror so I could see the laser dot and could move it directly in the middle because the red laser dot shines right through green painters tape

Iv just bought the same laser, thank you for the video, really well done. What power and speed do you use to cut perspex and plyboard?

Solid video Cam, thanks for taking the time to explain this process!

Struggling to line up the corners between mirrors 2 and 3. Any tips or videos you can recommend? Unfortunately yours were lined up perfectly on the 4 corners lol

To find the actual center of the last mirror shine a light up the nozzle, grantee it's not the center of the opening on the side .

Ever a a piece cut at an angle but not all 4 sides? Wondering how to get this corrected but about to redo everything on my laser now...i always guessed on the knobs...lol Great video

Thanks for the video, but It wasn't clear how to get mirror 2 pulse marks aligned in the far and close position to mirror one.

Do you have any suggestions if you are aligning a k40 laser? There's no adjustments on my laser nozzle... I am glad I watched this! Hopefully today will be the day I FINALLY get my laser adjusted!

Cloudray make a small adaptor for standard mirrors and lenses, it has two pieces of wire in a cross across the tube, you drop a piece of card into the device and fire the laser, it burns a small spot on the card, when you look at the card the cross intersects up and down and left to right on the burn, that tells you exactly where you mirror is out without guess work and without the damn sticky tape, card is much easier to use. the mirror alignment tool costs around 10 dollars and works on cloudray mirrors and heads or others with the right size hole in the mirror holder. They make the same too again which screws into the bottom of the laser head tube that then makes sure that your focused laser beam is perfectly central to the laser head nozzle and does not touch the sides anywhere. You have to take the guesswork out of alignment always and these simple tool do it, i made my on a 3d printer and used fine copper wire for the cross, next time i had a larger order with cloudray i bought theirs, they both work but the 3d printer ones can melt if you beam is out. check their website for details..

best tutorial about the mirror alignment.i love it..but only you can describe detail when we turn clockwise or anticlockwise the screw of the mirror, what happen to the laser, i mean where does it move?

Can you please show how to prevent the beam from clipping on the nozzle? I barely see any videos using these type of machine and most people distrust these machines. By the way, your video was awesome, looking forward for more videos about OMTech CO2 laser.

Perfect 😊

Great video Cam! I learned a lot on how to setup my future laser lol. What do you recommend cleaning the mirrors with? Do you ever use the diagnol screw to adjust instead of left/right and up/down? Or only when it's a direct 45 degrees? Looking forward to more of your laser setup and other laser videos

Good video. Thanks! But how do you move the bed up and down with the control panel (moving the z axis)?

Great video. Any idea how you would do the last test on the K40? It doesn't have screws on mirror 3.

The comments look promising, I've been stuck with an unalienable laser for a year... tried so many times unsuccessfully. Is successful, I will update!

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. I have a question about how to adjust between mirror 2 and 3. It is hitting fine when I have it all the way to the left, both front and back, but when I try to pulse on the far right side, its way off. Which screws do I adjust? Thank you!

Hello, thanks a lot for this great tutorial. My laser tube lost a lot of power very quickly. I tried to align the mirrors as you show but when i pulsed at the first mirror, i don't have a dot, if if i keep the button pulse on, then two dots appears and becomes a line. Is the laser tube dead? It's very difficult to have any answer from the chinese seller. So i'll be very greatfull if you can help me. Thank from France

Great video! One question: I have the same machine as you do... When I adjust the screws, I started small and it made ZERO difference in where the laser hit the tape. I went back and adjusted more and more and finally a LOT, nothing changed the location of where my laser hits. Now what?

Great Video ..one thing .. I don't really know anything about doing this, but I don't understand why after aligning both back mirrors and having them both good you would readjust the 2nd mirror because of the 3rd one being out of alignment. Seems like you would have to align the 3rd mirror no ??

This was a great video and explains this process quite methodically. What about a bed levelling video? From my experience these machines (not unique to Omtech) is that the honeycomb bed is far from level in itself. Mine also started sagging over time. I've heard some swap these out with a fixed plate of some sort - usually a 6-8mm aluminium plate - but I don't know what that would mean in terms of reflection when you're cutting. I like the fact that I can use magnets to hold down my material on the honeycomb bed. Thoughts?

Thank you for the video, extremely helpful, I changed my tube because the power was low even on high setting, just wouldn't cut like it used to. However it still has the same problem, could this be a power supply issue?

Hello thanks for the very helpful video. However my Pulse product a larger beam. Please can you help tell me why

In your example all the corners are aligned perfectly, but mine don't line up on each other, how to correct that if in the from it is perfect in center and in the rear it way to much in the left

Can you do a video on how to Level the Laser Bed ? thanks

I have the other version of the omtech red black laser, the omtech is not available here. The x gantry looks a lot better than my one (pulling my hair out today trying to get screws each with 5 washers into the end of a 10mm high piece of extrusion). Could you please provide more photos as I want to try and upgrade my one myself. Thanks

This video was super helpful! There are three total mirrors, not 4? And if you find that the third one is not lining up when you move it to the corners, what do you adjust? That’s the part that confuses me.

I just got a new laser, and I am very worried now because I was testing it out last night just to see if the bed worked up and down (powered) Well I never read the manual first and did an autofocus without material on the bed ! (I know stupid) well it jammed the auto focus rod and almost got to the lens it kinda jammed it hard. Do you think I have damaged the autofocus/lens ?? Is the autofocus rod on the left of the lens just a rod or does it also have a lens in it ? Thanks, fantastic video BTW

Hello. I am rewatching your video and, again, extremely helpful. Can you point me to a video or resource that teaches me how to determine the maximum and minimum power i should set on the ruida controller? Thanks again!

what I do is with a sharpie, I draw a line on the top of the screw. This way I can tell which way I am turning.
