So this will be my final update unless something changes or someone has a question. I'll try to wrap it all up.


In the three weeks since we received the first replacement tube we have been cutting 10-12 hours a day 5 days a week with it. I must say I'm blown away with the cut quality and smoothness of the machine when cutting. Most all of the hard setup work was done in advance at the manufacturer. All in all I'm happy with the ultimate resolution we came to on the tube issue, and I'm also very happy with the Thunder laser machine. So far it's been a great machine for us.
