Best place to buy replacement mirrors
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2024
Just finished a 3 day session cutting thick leather for some key fobs, those that cut thick leather know the smoke produced, I cleaned the lense a few times throughout the session but found I was knocking the power up and the speed down several times as it went on, I just assumed as the machine is nearly 2 years old I might be getting a tube failing,
After I'd done what I needed to do I tested a cut on some 3mm acrylic, it didn't cut through, upped the power a fair bit and still not going through, cleaned the lense and still the same, then cleaned the 3x mirrors, hey presto cuts properly again, even went back and cut some of that leather again and it cut perfectly even at slightly lower power than I first used.
So it looks like a mirror clean was needed, however there's a bit of pitting on a couple so thought it best to get a spare set of mirrors and a lense.
Where's the best place to try, omtech don't seem to sell them *that's the machine I have
Cheers
