Another great video! Precise information. Easy to follow along :-) Can I request videos about upgrades? Like exhaust fans, air compressors and rotory attachment? What about Chiller maintenance? ;-)

[@omtechlaser]

Absolutely! We're always open for more video ideas. Feel free to reply with your list!

I watched this, it's great thanks...however when I unscrew the lens as indicated, the lens appears to remain up in the "tube" instead of coming out with the nozzle. Does the "tube" get unscrewed as well? I'd hate to mess up so soon! Thanks!

Of course, we hope that you enjoyed the video!

does the mirror require replacement?

[@rockinwood]

How do you pulse it?

[@manda3571]

How often should I be cleaning the lens? How often should I be making sure they are still aligned? And could the laser just stop firing bc the mirrors are dirty or not aligned?

How often do you have to clean them?

[@omtechlaser]

Great question! General rule of thumb is every other week, or when needed depending on the usage of your machine.
