In my case X/Y was right on in all locations right up to the head where it would enter perfectly horizontally and hit mirror 3.
If the beam lever was at the center of mirror 3 it would not be centered in the tube and lens so would get cut off at the cone.
If the beam was raised so that it would hit the center of mirror 3 then it would get cut off by the head BEFORE it even hit mirror 3. Just bad design of the head or maybe made for a smaller beam. My machine came with a 60 W tube and I replaced it with 150 W.
By machining the top of the entry hole into the head the beam could hit high on mirror 3 and be reflected nearer to the center of tube. Cuts great now. I might have kept the 60 W because I think most of my power issues were due to power loss at the cone tip and I didn't know that I should hit mirror 3 high. Live and learn.
Chinese 6040 by NiceCut. Originally 60 Watt upgraded to 150 Watt.....I thought I had pretty much every problem in the book of laser cutting. It turns out that there is a set of books.
