| All of our Pro Series lasers in 90w or higher will come with all necessary accessories. This includes an air compressor, exhaust fan and a basic water chiller. You may also choose to upgrade to an advanced water chiller with active refrigeration, for which I can offer you a 50% or $600.00 discount. The advanced water chiller will allow you to operate the laser continuously beyond two hours without a "cool down" period. | | All of our Pro Series lasers in 90w or higher will come with all necessary accessories.
