Wood-mizer laser troubles

nstringer04 · February 09, 2015, 09:36:12 PM

The laser hasn't worked since I bought the mill last year. I'm not very familiar with the laser but the light comes on on the "box" mounted underneath the laser itself. However, the laser does not work. What can I check? Is the laser dead? Would love to fix or replace it if necessary.

Since I didn't buy that option for my mill, I would call Woodmizer in the morning.

My thoughts are: did you buy the mill new?
Has it ever worked?
Is there dust or a cover over the laser lens? And of course, call wmz..

Hello,
There is 12 volt to the lazer from the switch on the operator control. There is a 10 amp fuse in the operator box. One red wire. Check here for 12 volt at the lazer. Shoul also be a red light on the box the lazer plugs into. There is also ground needed. There is a screw the helps the lazer get ground. Check this also.
After all has been checked and you are sure you have power. You can remove the lazer and send it back to the company they will repair. I think the last one was about $100.00 for the company to fix. The company name should be on the lazer.
I am out if town if you need the address send me a pm and I will get you the info when I get back.
