+  * "The red laser tube is replaced and works!
+  * the speed/power table now needs to be sped up about x2 because it was made when the laser tube was aged a bit already
+  * 3mm plywood cuts reliably at 15 speed 100 power
+  * the water and inside of the previous laser tube was quite dirty, I would suggest changing the water every 6 months"
+  * <tim> So that's 320 hours for the old tube, which is disappointing.
+  * <tim> The old tube was calibrated to the rated 40w. Is it a good idea for the new one to be run at 55w?
+  * <martling> What is the rating of the new tube?
+  * <martling> The PSU and the optics should be good for >40W but we shouldn't overdrive the tube, we already got poor life out of the last one.
+  * <Miron> https://www.megacold.uk.com/products/lasertubec60/2238954000000647085
+  * <Miron> Rated power: 60w; Max power: 80w; Warranty: 5 months
+  * <tkerby> What was the muck in the water? Was it biological sludge or just dust that had collected?
+  * <Miron> brown dust
