Hi,
Has anyone purchased a laser tube from this seller in ebay?

100W CO2 Laser Tube + Power Supply Engraver Cutting | eBay

Is this a good tube and power supply to buy?

Was looking to buy a 100w laser tube for a diy cnc machine, and just wanted people suggestions/experiences on the tube and power supply.

The machine will be used to cut acrylic sheet.

Thanks!
Dan

For that price , make sure you are getting a RECI or a LONG LIFE tube (8000 hours) , the Reci 100w + PS is less than $895 ex china ... A normal 100w tube (800-1500 hrs) and PS shouldn't cost more than $400....

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Where can I get the RECI tube and PS?
I like buying off ebay, because of the buyer protection. I'm abit worried transferring money to China.

Maybe approach RECI directly , Beijing Reci Laser Technology Co., Ltd.

It would be interesting to find out what the cost of a 100w tube and power supply would be directly from the manufacturer.

I've bought from them and their service is very good. I've had my tube (100 watt with power supply) for about 1 year and it still works flawlessly but I never go over 80 watts with it to try and get the long life from it.
I also have the DSP from lightobject which has undergone a really rapid growth over the past 2 years with lots of features added. Best controller I can think of for the price.

Would I buy from them (CNColetec) again.......You bet.

P.S. The link you supplied is for a standard laser and not the RECI long life one.
