Need to purchase new 80w to 100w tube. Need Advice!

Post by thejuggernaut »

Well after 3 years of good use, my reci tube has given it up. I am in need of a new tube. My use is at max about 5 hours a week, so I doubt that I will put more than about 500-700 hours on it over the life of the tube. My setup is used almost exclusively for cutting 1/4" cast acrylic. I typically run the tube at about 23-23.5 ma of power. What would everyone recommend I buy. I have used a RECI and it was good, but I don't put that many hours on my tube, and it actually goes out from old age before it goes out from usage, so I don't know if the added expense of the RECI is worth it at this point. Any suggestions?!?!

I just picked up an EFR 60 watt tube and it is absolutely awesome. I'd highly recommend that brand of tube.
