New laser Polar, cut one board fine. loaded the second board, same settings and it will not cut thru…changed the power and speed and nothing is working. I even lowered the laser as low as I could without touching the board and it doesn’t matter. It will not cut thru the 3mm baltic birch board. I tried up to 6 passes and still not cutting thru.
There are so many settings I don’t understand but I didn’t change anything after I got it set to cut right the first time.
I have tried finding videos, chats, groups and no one has an answer
Help please
If you set it up as it was, but lower the power to just make a line on the material…
Is it marking the wood in any fashion?
Is the line the same thickness as it was?
- properly working tube
- clean aligned optics
- proper focus
If you have these three, they work.
Most simple is to ensure focus.
Next, ensure the lens is clean.
I don’t know if alignment is a user serviceable option with the Polar.?
Odd that it ran fine once…
It is a brand new laser that has only cut a couple things. it doesn’t matter what I set the focus and speed at, the line is always the same and no cut thru
I even lowered the laser as low as I could without touching the board
May not be problem, but focus is critical adjustment.
I would check my mirror alignment. New equipment can have things improperly assembled or not properly tightened.
