I'm attaching a photo for this. I changed the tube and checked the alignment at mirrors 1 and 2. I put a bit paper in front of the mirror/lens head and checked that. All were dead center at both upper left corner of the cutting area and lower right corner of the cutting area (near and far). No beam out of the lens for cutting or etching. The head was loose so I re-seated it. Still no beam out. I removed the lens and put a piece of thermal paper on the underside of the top assembly (mirror part) and when I look down, I see that the burn is upper right.
I've tried spacers on the mirror opposite the burn area thinking angle of beam in = angle of beam out but no joy. I've disassembled the lens/mirror head and re-installed it several times checking everything for "square and level". Everything seems to be square and level.
Any ideas on how to fix this to get the beam centered so it will hit the center of the lens? I'm stumped.
