OLD NEWS
* (2020/09/18) Head crash caused some alignment issues. Currently OOO. Parts are on the way, plus beam intensity meter.
* (2020/Febrary) New 150W tube installed & aligned. BOSS working well.
* (2019/07/25) Beam Combiner installed; Mirrors and Red beam aligned.  Red dot is slightly left (about 3/4 of a dot) of actual cut.  A few more parts needed, but the Boss is operational.
* (2019/06/26) Working, 4-in Len replaced by Joe M.  Still waiting on Beam Combiner.
* (2019/06/15) Working, 4-in Lens is cracked from overtightening -- DO NOT CLEAN --; Mirrors aligned.  Beam Combiner and replacement lens on order.
* (2018/12/07) Working, but not that well. Had to use 100% power and speed 5 to cut through relatively thin leather. Perhaps needs to be cleaned?
* (2018/12/01) NOT working. Needs a tube replacement, probably. It's going to be a while. It will not happen faster if you ask when it's going to be fixed. NOBODY KNOWS YET.
* (2018/02/26) Working. Z-Axis motor having some issues? 2-25-2018
* (2017/05/20) 150W Tube & Power Supply installed. Alignment & focusing pending.
* (2017/06/12) The laser has been aligned and focused. 2" Laser lens focal depth set to 5.1mm.
