The closer the lens gets to the laser diode the longer the distance from the lens to the minimal focus is. With our lasers we recommend about 1 to 3 inches away from the work surface. We normally have ours between 2.5″ and 3″ to help keep debris off the lens. Being closer makes the “depth of focus” (theSee more on jtechphotonics laser-crafting
