I just got my first laser. It's a:
Cloudray MP-60 LiteMarker Pro 60W Split Laser Engraver Fiber Marking Machine 7.9” X 7.9” Scan Area With D80 Rotary
Question regarding the lens:
From what I understand, the 7.9" x 7.9" Scan area means it is a 200mm x 200mm lens? Are bigger lenses suited to laser anything smaller than 200mm x 200mm, or if I'm engraving something smaller, is it better to have a smaller lens?
Thanks,
You will loose some power close to the very edge of the lens. Not much in most cases. But, it is best to try to keep the work centered as best as possible.
With a 300mm lens, you would also need a tall tower to get it in focus.
