Hello there guys, I have been using Ice for years... Tons of ice, More ice than water. And I pump the water out every so often to make the ice last, since I am cutting 8 hours per day +. I have never had a problem with laser power, I replace the tube once on my 50W cutter.
I do get condenssation and I have been reading it's bad?
Is it really bad to get condensation on the tube?
Well, now, I have a 80W machine. Should I continue to use Ice? Or will this chiller be enough?
I read somewhere this chiller is crap, But I would like your opinion please.
I want to take better care of my 80W, the laser tube is like double the price, and I want it to last as long as my 50W is lasting.
***Note, I cut at 15 to 19% power only, but with the bigger work area on the new machine, I want to experience cutting some thicker materials etc.
Thanks guys, have a great day.
