I've got the Lite 400x600 X-Y table together and made the plate to mount the laser cutting head on the carriage, with the mirror and lens. Also made the mount for the mirror at the end of the X gantry.
My question, should not the laser head and the X gantry mirrors be at a perfect 90 Deg angle to one another? In other words a square lined up with the laser source, I have a laser Level mounted and on for the source also be in 90 Deg alignment (centered) with laser head mechanically. Then minor adjustments done at the mirror adjustment knobs. At one point I had it perfect, almost. Just making sure my mirror mount is located correctly before moving on.
