I just started using my 60W Red/black Omtech laser and have been using my chuck rotary. I have a large order for 44 double sided tumblers which I’ve done hundreds of on my Ortur rotary but the Omtech is 10x faster. So I tested out a double sided tumbler on my Omtech using the chuck rotary and I noticed when the tumbler would rotate I could see the tumbler moving up and down as it rotates thus screwing up my focal distance. It’s secure in the chuck and I’ve backed out to re-seed the jaws dozens of times and got it like 95% accurate to where they almost all perfectly touch in the middle when fully screwed in. I can’t seem to get the jaws any closer and it was far worse before I fixed it. I have a way to fix the issue, I just engrave one side then move it to the other side using the controller but that’s not super efficient. Could the little bit where the jaws aren’t lined up still be causing this issue? Thanks for any help
Even though they are typically called a chuck style rotary I rarely use a chuck.
Most often I use cones for this type of job. Both inner and outer cones.
Pics are not my rotary but you get the idea.
You may not have cones but would be well worth the effort of making some.

That’s pretty cool. How in the world do you attach it lol
I like everything about this rotary.
Who sells this one?
Those two pics are ones that I randomly found on the internet.
The top one is a Trotec. You can tell by the red laser head.
The second I have no idea.
Second looks like what we have for a Universal Laser Systems
Never seen this before. Found it just now on a search.
Looks to be printed on a 3D printer.
Rather clever way to adapt cones to a chuck if you have no way of making your own.
