Laser Module Tips?

Post by Briscoe »

I have ordered a laser module for my Piranha CNC. Does anybody have any advice, tips, do's & don't's, etc. that they can share before I start using it?

Thanks.

Buy some laser safety glasses and use them any time that laser is used...better yet, get 2 or 3 so if you have visitors they are protected also.

Make a sign for the shop that reads:
Do NOT stare directly at the laser
with the remaining good eye
