beam tube mirrors cleaning

On the Bystronics 5000h is nothing. Keep an eye on the output window, lens and the end mirror if the end isn't copper. The mirrors rarely give problems, the transmissive optics like the lens, output coupler and leaky end mirror if you have one are the ones that fail first and make a huge mess.
