K40 Optical Alignment Guides

The one thing K40 owners Love to do is align their optical mirrors. :roll_eyes: To make the process a little easier here are a couple of guides to assist you.

  • HP Perrson has a good guide on his site.
  • Here is another guide put together by TimTheFloatingWombat, henceforth called the Floating Wombat Guide. If you use this guide I recommend using a sharpie marker to label your adjustment screws A,B,C as indicated in the guide, makes the adjustment recommendations easier to follow.

I would love to see someone other than me try out the optical alignment tools I designed.
After completing the tools is took me minutes to do an alignment and it was spot on (pun) the first time.
Was I just lucky??

That is a good instruction…
With my gauges you don’t need a “guide” … or not! :slight_smile:
