First, I'd like to say hello to everyone here. I've been browsing this forum for months while I got the money, (and the nerve:banana to purchase my laser machine. I've seen some really knowledgable people here and believe this site will be my homepage one day soon as I step further and further into the cnc world. Thanks to all that make it nice here.
I recently got a rabbitlaser 9060 60watt machine. It was used, but at a great price, and the service and support I got from the Scott's were surprisingly excellent. Thanks to them also.
The machine is working great, I've only done a test run on the machine, with great results, and I'm nervous about what I'm forgetting to do to it. General maintenance. I don't won't to start using the beast and weeks, days later have something catastrophic happen, only to learn that it was due to my negligence.
I've read and searched all over this forum and not really sure if i have gotten the answer. When cleaning the mirrors and lenses, am I supposed to use isopropyl alcohol (70%..? clear...) or acetone. Acetone seems rather harsh, since the mirrors are coated. Does anyone have any experience with both? What does everyone else here use to clean them?
I do apologize for the newbie style questioning, but I am just getting started, and I hope to be as helpful and knowledgable as the veterans here one day soon.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and information.
