I have a part time need for a larger more powerful and larger bed laser than my Epilog 50 watt. I'm considering adding a glass tube machine but am worried that if I don't use the machine regularly the tube will fail. Any body have any opinions on the issue? Tube life with out regular use? I know all tubes leak gas over time but am worried about speeding the process because of weeks where I might not need to use the bigger machine.
Thanks for the input......
(I know I could outsource the work but its more a hobby and that would take all the fun out of it.)
