Apparatus is disclosed for laser machining a work piece comprising a laser lens adapted to be releasably mounted to permit cleaning of the lens to remove any debris collected thereon during laser machining. The mounting includes a cylindrical base for defining a path along which the laser beam emitted by the laser source is directed onto the work piece, and a mounting member for mounting the laser lens with respect to the cylindrical base and adapted to be removably mounted on the cylindrical base in a manner whereby the lens is disposed to a certain position with respect to the cylindrical base. To this end, there is included a locking member engaging the cylindrical base and biasing the mounting member and its laser lens to the certain position with respect to the cylindrical base.
