My laser is starting to act weird I have been cutting all week at 10ma all of a sudden the meter will read 15ma but no real power to cutting. If I turn the pot all the way down and back up it starts cutting fine any ideas

My money is on a bad pot. Cheap and easy to swap out to make sure.

Agreed = thee are MilSpec parts !

If you have some contact cleaner, spray it around the wiper for the potentiometer and swing it back and forth a few times.

Try a product called De-Ox-it works on my old Ham Equipt - but your stuff is much newer - I suspect the Pot arm is not making contact inside the pot
