Jagged edge

[Steve Krahn]

Does anyone know why this would be happening?

I am getting a smoother edge on one side of the engraving vs the other side. You'll also notice that on the side with the jagged edge, the laser seems to taper off. Why would this only happen on one side?

what machine?

Belt tension? If you're engraving that piece close to the far left side, slack in the belt may account for part of it- try engraving the same thing in the middle of the table, and at the far other end and see if it repeats, or changes

Loose lens? it happens

Could be some settings need tweaking...
