What is this air assist fan? I'd like something like that.

I was unable to align my laser on my CO2 machine. until I came across your video on KZfaq. you are the only one who explains the ACD method and that made it a lot clearer to me. Thank you very much for the effort you took to make the video. Thanks from the Netherlands, Arjan Staal

Wow, a mirror alignment video that actually covers the science of alignment instead of just going over the basics of centering; your my hero! Would have never guessed the position of A if you had not shown the sticky notes explaining the geometry and how it relates to your machine (seems counterintuitive that you wouldn’t aim for in between C & D). Bravo sir, keep up the good work!

I cannot thank you enough for this. I struggled with my K40 yesterday for over an hour and got it within a couple millimeters but couldnt nail it down. But I saw this in my suggested videos today and thought I'd watch it. AND I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! I literally had it dialed in within 10 minutes. THANK YOUSO MUCH!!

Best alignment video of the K40 mirrors of ALL TIME!!!

This looks messy and my LC didn't come savety glasses 😬😵

Does anyone know if this works for the 3g

Wish I would have seen this a couple days ago. I spent several hours over the last week trying to align my laser after getting it out of storage, where it sat for several years. I finally figured out on my own to align the beam and move the mirror later but for my peace of mind I still needed to verify my theory was correct. I finally found a YT video that did verify it but it was explained so poorly that I would have never understood what he was trying to teach had I not first figured out the procedure for myself. I wasted days using a laser pointer tool that mounted in the head and the tools instructions stated to aim for the middle of the mirrors. After ditching that, I got the alignment pretty close after about an hour, which included undoing some of the things I tried to get it working when I didn't know the correct procedure. If I do understand correctly, you have to start with the first mirror and get it centered to the tube, then use the first mirror to align the beam to the y axis. Then move the second mirror to center on the beam. Then align the beam to the x axis with the second mirror and then move the head to center the beam. I'm not sure how it was suppose to work when using a pointer mounted in the head. It means going in the opposite ordered which doesn't seem to work.

Oh we're doing vectors I'm very excited

Thank you sir. For those who are facing trouble in this alignment thing, this is the best video SOLUTION!

Fantastic video.

😱 *Promosm*

I bought my laser used. While aligning my #2 mirror is not all the way against the mount like yours is in the video. Should I return the mirror closer to the mount and start over with alignment

Good shit dude

Hey I saw at the end you did not spawn in the right area I have that same problem do you know how to fix it

U left ammo for your hand gun in the table 😱

I'm too embarrassed to tell you for how long i''ve lost the battle of the mirrors. Your explanation has cleared the fog of (mirror) war and I'm ready to do battle again. Thanks Vince. Its great having you in the trenches. You deserve a medal!

Genius! Thanks so much! I almost threw this thing out LOL Watched this 2 times to really grasp the fact that I had to think backwards in my aiming process. Laser aligned now and so simple. AAA+

Explained so well! I watched many videos to align mirrors and this one has got me spot on.

Niceeeee thanks

does the gas gauge and temp gauge have to be marked before removing needles?

I hit mirror 3 everywhere on the bed at exact center but I only get good engraving result in the front right side, the left back side is horrible. How can that be the case if I hit mirror 3 at exactly the same spot everywhere?

Literally one of the most clear eclipse videos I’ve seen great video!

I’m a moron, watched this a few times. I can’t get my second mirror to hit the same spot at all. Help please!!

thank you sooo muchhhh

After I removed my needles and I put them back some of them don't work now can you help me? My speedo and my rpm don't wanna work

Best alignment video on KZfaq. Thank you. Speeded things up a great deal and as easy as ACD!

Great video. That will totally solve my alignment problem. Do you have a video that shows the mods you made on the control panel and gantry?

I've been fighting with aligning the mirrors. This video saved the day. Understanding the difference between aligning and centering is huge. Also recognizing there is only one spot that is aligned and finding that spot is critical to understand. Kudos for sharing this!

Alining an led laser

Does sanding everything down still make the clusters brighter even without LEDs?

After many alignment attempts we finally watched this...Wow, really helped, so much!!!!

Easiest method I have seen. I will use this from now on. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Vince! How to remove the other 2 the fuel and the oil instrument needles?

Thank you for making this, the ACD helped amazingly. Turned hours of fiddling into minutes of adjustment.

I don't understand, when aligning the 2nd mirror with the head, you start in bottom left position, get your center mark on the tape that's around the laser head, then move it far away, take another test shot, and see how far away that second shot is from the first.. which by what you're saying is test shot 'D'. Why not just now adjust the screws on the second mirror to get that D to match up with the C shot? I don't see a reason to "find A"

I bought a k40 around Christmas last year.. out of the box it worked okay to get me started. After the holidays i changed airassist , ventilator , and and mirrorset/laser head. That is when the problems started. Couldn't get the alignment right. Got only crips cut at one side of the bed... Last week i spend hours of trying en errors.. until i took my time to watch this video a couple of times , take notes and a couple of tries... You are my hero!! It works like a charm now! Crisp cuts all over the bed.. and i have been able to get super settings (power/speed) instead of almost blowing the tube .. thank you , thank you , thank you!!

Any one know what my problem can be, I do an engraving then go to cut it out and the cut is of by 1cm or so??

VINCE YOU ARE THE MAN, DAMN IT SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME

I've watched endless hours of alignment videos and spent 5 months trying to get my OMT 80W aligned with no luck. Watched your video, had my "aha" moment and had it sorted out in 20 minutes. My laser burns perfectly now. Can't thank you enough. Excellent video!

Thanks for this video, absolute life saver! Ive watched a few others but this one turned hours of frustration into a 20min job and its sorted. much appreciated!

Thank you so much! My K40 came in all busted. Corners were caved in and even the rails have dents. After all those hours i wanted to buy me a new one but now it still gets aligned. Big relief.

Thanks you’re the best

Thanks so much! I've watched a lot of videos on laser mirror alignment, and your ACD method is the best I've found. Unlike many descriptions yours is based on logic, the appliance of science. It cuts out most of the trial and error and speeds up the task immeasurably 👍👌

This is the best guide for alignment. Thank you.

dude this is the ONLY VIDEO ON K40 ALIGNMENT THAT MATTERS!!!! Thank you!!!!!

The best method for alignment by far!!! Thank you lots!! You made my day. I just unboxed my laser and throw a splitted beam. I started looking for solutions. I've readed that the problem was the tube. But thanks to your video I managed to make a quick and dirty alignment and even with a quick and dirty alignment works fantastic!!! I really appreciate your effort in doing this video. Greetings from Barcelona

Beautiful I wonder whatever happened to euro dashes

My machine is 60W, China's machine. Work well with this method. Thank you so much
