Yesterday afternoon after I got a chance to put some more work in on the plasma table.

When we ordered the machine, we ordered it with an optional laser pointer-but unfortunately the machine didn’t ship with the pointer, and it took another 7 months for it to show up. 🙄
And when it did show up, it came with the wrong mounting bracket. 🙄🙄
Tired of waiting, I took matters into my own hands and decided to just make whatever I was sent work.
Here’s the lasers and the bracket next to my torch. The bracket they sent is for a larger diameter torch.

I took the laser bracket apart and removed one of the torch clamps off and took some measurements and hatched a plan.

Fired up the mill and drilled some holes in the laser brackets.

Drilled and tapped some corresponding 10/32 holes in the torch bracket.

Was happy to discover that I measured everything correctly and the parts bolted right up.

And here is the whole mess all put together and lit up.
Now I just have to load the software update that controls the laser and all its background functions like head offsets and alignment functions.
