Problem with 7w laser

Post by hector9 »

Hello, Has anyone encountered a situation where the 7w laser machine burns unevenly? There are very dark areas but also very bright highlights on the same project, but the project is flat and uniform.

If anyone has successfully handled it, please advise. Thank.

Do you have a picture? If you're using a laser on wood, it could be due to the natural differences in the wood itself.

I have a 20 watt and a 3 watt laser. Both will burn if they are not focused, wood is soft and hard like pine is, dirty protective lens on the 20 watt. Speed and power and good luck is always my pro's and cons and bains to lasering.

Have you cleaned the 7 watt laser lens lately?
