Bought a laser, now there's a thing

[Robin Hewitt]

The laser tubes on these dont normally last very long so the fact that your getting a spare is a major bonus.

Thanks for not telling me I am an idiot, but perhaps that is yet to come

I have read a bit about Chinese lasers and quality seems to be a bit of a lucky dip. I think the tube life also depends on whether you run the poor thing at top whack. If I stick to cutting thin Plasticard in no particular hurry I could probably wind it back somewhat.

Note: Back in the good old days, before political correctness, they used to grade schoolchildren on a sliding scale. Idiot was the bottom of the scale, one step below moron.
