Hello!
We have an 80W rabbit laser. Bought it last year and have use it a fair amount. Has maybe 3-500 hours on it. Our biggest problem has always been cutting through 1/4" MDF. In the past few months it has become nearly impossible to do in 1 cut. We have slowed it down to 3% speed and 100 power setting and it still has a hard time in certain parts of our table. I've been reading through this site and I can't seem to find what it could be.
I guess my question is this: Is there a good checklist of things that slowly go wrong over months and months? I have heard if the tube goes bad it is a BIG difference. I have also heard that mirrors wear out slowly, and so does the lens. We have cleaned both many times to no affect. The mirrors look very clean and nice, so how do we know when they are on their last legs? Any ideas?
