I bought a co2 laser off ebay 40 watts yours looks smaller. I had the focusing lens 2 1/2 inches diameter when I had my first flowing gas laser.

@bg0821 Did you build your flowing gas laser?

[bg0821]

@magx1 no it wasn't from scratch it was a 50 watt Sharplan laser head bought off ebay. I bought gas flow meters, (which were too large for the application), but worked along with a vacuum pump, heat exchanger water pump 10k neon sign transformer and (3) 5 lb tanks helium nitrogen and co2. I dissasembled the head to grease the o rings and broke the front optic. it fell anyway today have the glass tube with no ends on it from the laser but I bought a 40 watter off ebay good price from china.
