    Laser beam turn around inside tube

    Hello,

    I'm new on the forum, my name is Dimitri and come from Belgium... My English is not perfect but I'll try to do my best.

    I've made a laser engraver based from the Axcut of Damian Axford and it's almost finished, so yesterday I try to test the first cut and after some settings it's good enough for the begining.

    Here is the vidéo of it

    And I'm a litle bit disturbed with the beam who turn inside the tube....

    Anybody knows what is it and how solve it ?

    Thanks

    That link doesn't work. I cannot understand what you mean about laser beam turning around. I think you mean to show it in the video, so please fix the youtube link so we can help.

    Hmm, I assume this would happen if the gas mixture in the tube was not right (or the pressure.) Do you notice any power loss?

    Hello, I don't have a lot of idea about the power loss, it's the first one I have and the first tests I do.
    I don't have a big experience with this litle machine.

    I am not an expert, but I don't think it is anything to be concerned about.
