Laser optics

Where is the best place to buy lenses and mirrors? My friends Universal laser could use all new mirrors and a 2" lens.

Thanks,

Robert

I've typically bought from CloudRay Laser, but with shipping delays even worse than normal from China, I've heard pretty good things about American Photonics, which is based here in the US>

Thanks Steve, will give them a try

There could be someone local. We have a place in Seattle, they will recharge the Tube for about half the price of new one from Epilog. Last time I think the mirror was $55. It’s nice to be able to drop by on the way to work if I needed anything.
They may be closed to the public now with the virus.

I'll second Cloudray on ebay, I've bought a lot of stuff from them, no problems with any of it--

But- also on ebay, search out II-VI laser lenses, I bought one awhile back, wasn't from Cloudray but was only $30 and I was very happy with it ("was" because I accidentally snapped it in half!) II-VI also makes mirrors. And supposedly, many laser mfr's use II-VI lenses in their machines...

2 more resources, thank you Joe and Kev.

Lightobject dot com and its based in your state.

FWIW, Trotec uses II-VI laser lenses.
