What this page is
buythis.co.za/laser-tubes-co2 is the CO2 laser tube section of Buythis, AM.CO.ZA's online shop. A CO2 glass laser tube is the part of a CO2 laser cutter or engraver that makes the laser beam; it wears out over time and is replaced, or swapped for a more powerful tube when the machine allows it. On the live page this section is only a heading and tile links to mirrors and lenses, accessories, the desktop, cabinet and flatbed CO2 lasers, and RDWorks training. This knowledge base page lists every tube and tube fitting part from the product data, with current prices.

How to choose a tube
- Match the machine. The tube must physically fit the laser's tube housing and suit its laser power supply. The tube length and diameter are in the product name where known (for example the 40W tube is 710mm long and 50mm across, the Standard 130W tube 1660mm and 80mm across, and the Premium 150W tube 1920mm and 90mm across).
- Fitting a longer tube. If a more powerful tube is longer than the housing, a TruCUT extension case (
LC-EXTEND/…) lengthens the housing; there are cases for cabinet lasers, TruCUT Lite/Express desktops and flatbed models. - Standard or Premium. Standard Series tubes are the lower-cost replacement. Premium Series tubes add a galvanised catalyst for a longer working life, and several have a burst output above their rated power.
- Mounting. Use the mounting rack that matches the tube diameter:
LC-MOUNT/T5for 50mm tubes,LC-MOUNT/T8for 80mm tubes, or the universalLC-MOUNT/T58for 50 to 80mm. - Datasheet. Each tube's product data links the TruCUT tube datasheet guide (PDF), which compares the tube models.
Fitting and warranty notes
- High-voltage connection: the tube's positive end runs at high voltage. The high-voltage insulation cap (
LC-TUBE/CAP) and the 10kV insulation tape (AG-TAPE/HV, or a box of 100 asAG-TAPE/HV/BOX) insulate that connection. A video below shows the wiring and soldering of the tube's negative and positive cables. - Cooling: CO2 glass tubes are water cooled, so the machine's water chiller or pump must be running whenever the tube fires.
- Warranty: the tubes carry AM.CO.ZA's quality warranty for qualifying spare parts, which covers faults in materials or manufacture when the part is installed by an AM.CO.ZA technician or under their supervision. It does not cover normal wear and tear or misuse, and it lapses if the part is fitted into a machine not sold by AM.CO.ZA.
- Transport: a glass tube is fragile, which is why the wooden transport crates are sold separately.
