Hello,


im looking to buy 40-50 W laser cutter for some small acrylic cutting. I dont need it often, and i dont think
the tube would see more than 50 hours of work/year. Im worried that unlike other my CNC-s (that use no gas ) having
a laser cutter will be quite expensive as i will replace the tubes that died of old age without really being used (and that is a no-no for hoby
budget)



Im finding claims i can expect usualy 6 months or in best case 1 year for China made tube. Is this correct? In such case the laser
cutter tubes will cost me more than the cutter itself is worthy to me.

Ok, too late as i ordered my laser. I considered 2 suppliers Shenhui and Weike. I have chosen Shenhui as they spend alot of time finding exactly what i need, helping me in my decision and explain me all unknown things. We have probably exchanged 20 e-mails and 100 skype messages in 2 days. Weike was totally unresponsive (2 e-mails 4 days) so i avoided them if i ever have some problems with laser in future. Also i didnot like that from Weike every other person writing me raised or lovered price of laser by more than 1000 $. They also didnot want to share technical details i asked, which inhave right to know (manufacturer of some components)

Shenhui gave me better price immeadately (much lower than Weike) and they dont charge 100 $ for red laser or even worse for usb connector on chasis...
