Hello Everyone
Ive been having a problem with a new laser cutter i bought. First Sheet of cuts are perfect, second sheet turns out good and then normally by the third full sheet it starts to go south. I have a 100 watt Camfive Laser (US Company Importing Chinese Machines) and it seems that the final mirror on the laser head is getting hot. Not really hot but hot enough to know somethings not right. I also have a 80 watt machine (same Model) and it works fine in the same space. I want to try all possible solutions before i call customer support, it will cut 1/8 wood perfect and really fast but as soon as i move to 1/4 Baltic birch it doesn't last long before bad parts. Water chiller keeps the water/antifreeze at around 17 c (When cutting 1/4 it rises a few degrees )
Power Settings
75 Power - Speed 10 mm/s (1/4")
65 power - Speed 40 mm/s (1/8)
Any ideals or suggest would be great
Also any one else have a 100 Watt machine - Should i be able to cut 1/4 Baltic Birch alot faster ?? My 80 watt Cuts at about the same speed for 1/4" (Slow on 1/8)
