Mirror alignment
Your laser beam travels from the source through mirrors to the lens, then to your material. Proper mirror alignment ensures the beam hits the center of each mirror and lens, maximizing power and cut quality.
Clean first, then align. Dirty optics reduce power and affect beam position. Always clean mirrors and clean the lens before adjusting alignment.

- Budget and Original: Standard adjustment pattern (2 bolts used)
