What setting is the laser on?

Low focus.

Low focus.

I was going to say that was the cause. Digging through the IC2 wiki has revealed a bigger detail.

The Mining Laser is a powerful high-tech tool with a variety of applications. It can be used as an insta-mining tool with a relatively low EU consumption, as well as a high-power AoE block remover, or even as a weapon. All blocks destroyed by the Laser are dropped, with the exception of non-drop blocks like Glass or Leaves. However, due to the destructive nature of the Laser, there is a chance that the block will be destroyed and not drop anything. IndustrialCraft machines drop a Machine block, as if they were destroyed by a pickaxe. As of 1.337, the Mining Laser can use energy from a LapPack.

I usually only notice the effect on low power, but that's probably because you only targeting one block at a time, and if you're lucky, the laser normally only destroys the cobble.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.
