This video is the first in a short series detailing the repair and refurbishment of a Chinese K40 style 50W CO2 Laser cutter I picked up for just 60 bucks!

What should I replace the controller with? A Mini Gerbil or a Cohesion3d?
Should I convert the old tube to a flowing gas CO2 Laser? Comment down below!
