*The tube is £250 for 1000 hours
* The tube is £250 for 300 hours
*The lens+mirrors are £150 for 250 hours
* The PSU is £300 for 750 hours
*The power is (say) 1.2kW at £.2/kWh.
* The lens+mirrors are £50 for 200 hours
*So 250/1000 + 150/250 + 1.2*.2 = £1.09/hour
* The expected useful lifetime of the machine is around about 2750 hours, with a replacement cost estimated at £7000.
*The space also used a large chunk of funds to get the cutter, this needs to be recouped.
* The power is (say) 1.2kW at £.2/kWh.


'''Therefore a recommended donation of £5 for each hour of use would be greatly appreciated.'''
250/300 + 300/750 + 50/200 + 7000/2750 + 1.2*.2 = £4.30/hour
