Ran a test today on a scrap piece of SS in the middle of the laser bed for timing a laser job with Cermark.
When the run completed I looked at the Cermark lased on stainless and the technical diagram I marked had alternating width on horizontal lines.

Settings:
Min/Max Power 60
Speed 300
Interval .07
After review of the mfg. website I surmised loose / dirty lens, focus, belts etc. Sent an email to mfg. asking if I was on the right track, but its after hours for them and will have to wait for a response.
At first I searched wavy lines here on the forum. But after a closer look they were more so alternating between wide and narrow and a little wavy in places.
Here is the problem illustrated....

Tomorrow I will run various tests using different parts of the bed and vertical/horizontal lines to narrow down the issue.
First thing I will check is the lens because it just seems odd to me that the line is consistently wide then narrow over and over.
