Hi guys,
From the picture you can see that the cut is not straight along the Y axis but the cut along the X axis is straight! Not sure how the fix because if it was the lens focus issue the cut along the X axis wouldn’t be straight as well, right?
I’m using a 2" lens, 90w CO2 laser , the material I’m cutting it’s a 5mm acrylic
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

      Loosen and adjust the laser head
The quick way is to get tap on the very bottom hole and shoot a short test shot so that it only makes a very thin hole, take off tape and see in which direction laser head should be adjusted.
