K40 Will Not Cut Mystery Easily Solved!

So I went to cut a few items on my machine which has been recently overhauled and low and be hold it will not cut! A shadow burn also appeared out of no where. I have not been doing a lot of work on the machine so this is very mystifying. I removed the head and cleaned the lenses. Not much on the q-tip but some. Re-installed the head and aligned it again and volià, it cuts!

Not sure if the cleaning or head re-alignment did the trick but sometime is is the simple things that get you going again.

The first two steps for any cut/engrave issue are 1) check the lens is oriented correctly and 2) realign the mirrors :slight_smile:

Shadow burn points to the beam hitting the inside of the head.

Been there myself. :slight_smile:
