Where to hit the mirror?
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2015 7:04 am
Hey,
i am in the process of making the mirror alignment for my laser (with a laser pointer) and before i start i would like to ask the community. I found lots of information and some of the are inconsistent regarding where the beam has to hit the mirror. I found information which says that it does not need to hit the middle but it has to hit in the same place on the different mirrors (whatever this means). Other information sources talk about the exact middle of the first mirror. Lasersaur writes something from the exact middle plus some mm to the top. It is a little bit confusing and i would love to learn from people who already made their lasers fire...
thanks!
