In this video, I’m going to take you through my recent experience of changing a laser tube on my CO2 laser engraving machine. But I’m also going to show you all the maintenance steps you need to keep your laser cutter working at its best including tips to get those mirrors properly aligned.
So, if you want to keep your laser cutter operating like a champ, or you’re just curious about how these machines work, make sure you check out this video. And, of course, don’t forget to smash that like button and subscribe for more laser-related content!
Also, something that should be checked! After making this video we double-checked the mA gauge with the digital one inside of the machine and it was slightly off by one or two mA. So double check that you are getting a correct reading! Thanks for watching everyone.
