Thunder Laser 60 watt
Upon arrival at the hobbyists home their flatbed machine was visually inspected. The machine was in generally a good condition, the customer had reported that the water had frozen inside their laser tube and broken the internal glass.
The engineered removed all the laser tube and all the broken glass, and cleared out all the water and residue still inside the chassis, as we all know water and electricity don’t tend to like to mix!

The new laser tube was realigned within the machine and the laser power tested at the exit aperture of the laser nozzle. The power was measured at 65w @80% 22mA.
