Ok, so I have learned all about alignment and wish to thank everyone for their advice.
Now, let's talk about the mirrors and lenses.
I currently have a no-name (it has a name I just don't know what it is) Chinese laser bought in China and in use in my Chinese workshop.
I also have great experience with our Universal laser that resides in our US facility.
So please don't turn this discussion into another political/quality/emotion debate.
My question is very simple, what are the very best mirrors and lenses and do they make a difference?
Our mirrors "appear" to be damaged because they are not perfectly clear when cleaned. My lense also is a bit cloudy in the center.
I am sure we have been too aggressive with the cleaning, pressing too hard and scratching the surfaces. Also using the single layer of tape method when aligning seems to have caused some damage to the mirrors due to the fires and heat. However I am not sure because I don't really know if the lenses look normal as they would after a year of use or if they shouldn't look this way.
I would like to buy new mirrors and lenses just to start fresh. But before I do I would like to get some input as to what the best products are for this and why.
