Besides mirror #1, the other mirrors 2, 3, 4 and the lens are all located in the main chamber of the laser cutter. Below is a photograph of the main chamber of the laser with the
locations of where each mirror and lens can be found. Mirror #2 would normally have a black dust cover which is held in place with a single thumb screw.
Step 4.
With the dust cover removed you will be able to see 2 mirrors (
A & B
). Mirror
A
is the Red Beam mirror and only has to be cleaned if you can no longer see the
red beam on the laser bed or material, as this mirror only bounces the red light beam
NOT
the laser cutting beam.
The mirror labelled
B
is mirror #1 which is the first of the f our mirrors which the laser beam hits as it passes through the machine. To remove this for cleaning
simply loosen the screw and slide the mirror out.
