I have a new cheap Chinese 60W laser. I have installed a dual water temperature display for tank temperature and return water temperature, I have also installed a milli-amp meter, 0-30mA. As I mainly cut vulcanized paper I can keep the power down low, between 20-50%.

After reading much on here and watching too many or maybe not enough of Russ Sadler's tutorials, it looks like I should be looking for a replacement tube to keep the machine , I'm sure there are good ones and not so good ones; I'm sure many of you have experience of tube selection.

Also anyone in the Seattle area? Be nice to bounce ideas off another.

Cheers Steve
