Third thread in one week! When it rains...
I have a SinJoe 130W laser with a passthrough. The pass through only allows for about 1.5" of thickness BUT, when I use anything more than a half inch I can't get the laser head to retract far enough.

I had originally thought/meant to order the machine with a bigger pass through AND a Z moveable bed but that is not what I got.
Anyway, I am trying to either source a shorter laser head/tube assembly that I can swap out to get clearance or disassemble the one that is on there now and cut it shorter myself. Does anyone know if or where I could source a/the shorter laser head/tube (sinjoe does not seem to have this)? Also, in my efforts to disassemble the tube from the laser head body I have tried to unscrew it but with moderate force it will not budge. I don't want to push harder unless I know that is what needs to happen.

Any suggestions?
