we have used over a dozen Thunderlasers on our craft items, running them upto 18 hours a day, earlier models were running around the clock in shifts, running 7 years without a breakdown, then more units were added and they are still im dailt production work, awesome machines,
My mirrors have shown that coating coming off before and I replaced it as well. I really do want to upgrade the laser to be even bigger and have the kind with the built-in camera for easy placement of designs.
Good morning - thanks for the overview. Just a question : why do you put oil on the runners on the gantry? My manual says to clean it with alcohol? Won't lubricating the channel cause the wheels on the laser head to slip? Thanks!
Great questions. You want to clean it with alcohol but Thunder always says to oil these and the Z rods for the bed. Have never had an axis slip but have had them seize from dust and soot.
Man this guy makes me spend money first I bought a Phantom cnc and I just ordered a Thunder Nova 51
Oh no! Haha. Sounds like your growing that business!

Thats awesome! Tough units. Congrats on the great business.
Very good information. Thank you for taking your time to put this out there.
Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Means a lot
Use a metal polish like Mothers Aluminum polish to bring your mirrors back to life.
Oo I will try that. Thanks for the tip
