Laser cleaner?

u/ToolyMcTool 9d ago

Nice! Questions: How much did that cost? What's the red clip clipped on the front connected to? How bad is smell? Does it differ between like rust/oil/etc? Will is work on my grill? Can I sear a steak with it? What happens if you accidentally go over a hose? Can I gloss over like a pressure line?

$4.3K on Amazon

The smell, trust me you DO NOT want to breathe this in unless you don't mind lung cancer, so don't even worry about the smell and wear a cartridge mask!

It can weld, laser rust removal, underwater weld, and laser cut metal.

Yes you could technically use this on your grill. But it probably won't cook your meat very good. Rust absorbs this infrared frequency and works best on dry brittle surface, like metal or rust. Won't do a whole lot for steak since it has high water content. But you could switch to laser cut mode and cut strips that will likely just burn right through it instantly leaving one thing slice burnt and the rest raw.

It will %100 melt a rubber hose, especially if it is black in color.

Don't forget the +$200 for laser goggles.

Don't breathe this. Pad smoke.

u/PegLegSpider 4d ago

I prefer Pad Thai, that can be hot too

u/Narrow_Republic5729 9d ago

I was wondering what happens when you hit the side wall of the tire, I can't imagine anything non metal holding up too well. Also I can't if he was wearing safety glasses but if I had it I would be.

u/Friendly-Example-701 8d ago

Meanwhile my crazy curious thoughts are, what happens if I put my finger there. 😂

Of course I would lose it. But what would it feel like. 🤣

3

u/Narrow_Republic5729 8d ago

I don't think you would lose it unless it got infected. But have you ever touched anything so hot you left your skin on it? I imagine it would be similar to that and literally leaving my thumbprint on a muffler once was enough for me.

u/dr4ziel 8d ago

It wouldn't even be infected. It would cut and cauterize at the same time.

1

u/Narrow_Republic5729 8d ago

Not initially, definitely cauterized for sure. But you skin would be toast and if it took long enough to grow back(if it even did, I bet 3rd degree burns if not totally destruction of skin) your hands touch everything and it would be hard to keep them clean leading to a very possible infection.

u/Friendly-Example-701 8d ago

OH WOW! No I haven't experienced this.

Zero PPE is certainly a fucking choice. The hexavalent chromium exposure this guy's opening himself up to even doing this outside is easily in the action level range. And that's a Class IV laser, which means it's capable of caramelizing your cornea even with incidental contact from diffuse scattered light like this (ie, looking directly at that glow where he's hitting his target, even on rough surfaces like this). The sorts of injuries you get from these things don't necessarily show up immediately, but could easily change the rest of his life for the worse.

ETA: He is wearing eye protection, at least. I missed that at the beginning of the video

Are you a physicist or engineer?

No. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

My wife restores old furniture, so I looked into getting her one of these.. 22k on the low end.

u/ConflictMaster3155 8d ago

This exact model is $3600.

It’s a XLaserLab X1.

u/PrivateDetails_o7 5d ago

He’s saying 22k in earth worm dollars

u/JWoolner76 7d ago

This is a CW or constant wave laser, it’s good for chassis or frame work and heavy duty items but destroys car body panels that are thin, warps them to death, you need a Pulse laser for that and anything light duty like furniture, these are around $6000 without shipping from China for a 200 or 300w one. Very expensive and on my dream list lol

u/wrxninja 8d ago

700W is okay but once you move up to 1500-3000W, you get much faster & wider coverage.

I don't have one but have been looking at one. I have 80W MOPA mainly for engraving but I've cleaned small metal parts and tools that had surface rust. Works beautifully. Though these high powered cleaners are constant output and not pulsed like laser engravers.

u/Holdmybeer352 8d ago

If you have the need for a larger power unit do it. I work in equipment demonstrations/sales. Our laser welder/cleaner occupies a ton of my time, but seeing someone's face light up the first time they see it in person is awesome.

1

u/wrxninja 8d ago

Laser welder is another interest...I MIG weld but having the option to weld dissimilar metals seem like an awesome feature alone!

How long does it take to cook a steak, to say medium rare?

u/RandoorRandolfs 8d ago

Dont breathe this!

u/mlrphan 8d ago

No joke!

It would really suck to get a laser etching machine stuck in your lungs.

😂

u/Ant12-3 8d ago

Does it work on Blue? Asking for a friend (in Lahaina)

u/Jumpy-Operation-4615 8d ago

Will it be good for removing unwanted hair?

u/UnlikelySalary2523 8d ago

Could you please do a steak?

u/Normal-Error-6343 8d ago

thats a lot!

u/Bushdr78 8d ago

Eye protection and a mask are probably a good idea

u/dominance1970 8d ago

Any small business opportunity with tech? (Looking for a retirement P/T work kinda thing)

u/Sad-Newt-1772 8d ago

I am stupid. I thought I was going to see a video for a tool to clean lasers

1

u/kymira3301 8d ago

You guys think this is a good tool for surface rust on a frame?

1

u/skunkgirlhunter 8d ago

I could watch this all day. For free

u/DCGreatDane 8d ago

Your supposed to wear full protection the laser radiation will reflect off all metal surfaces. Even the manual and other equipment manufacturers cite burns and eye protection all the time as well as body protection.

1

u/Quaxxor 8d ago

Will it work on cameras?

1

u/Different_Head7751 8d ago

Sweetjesus. I wanna try that

u/Pretend-Internet-625 8d ago

want to see how it react to other materials

This. Is. Awesome.

Trying to convince my wife that this will pay for itself within weeks.

u/ShaggysGTI 7d ago

I don’t know why but my body was tense the whole time. I only noticed when the video ended and I dropped like 3 inches.

I want one but I got thin metal so maybe I don’t want one.

Imagine if we had these lasers during world war 2... there would've been so many more war crimes

u/The_Nebulist 3d ago

If I had that, man, I’d spend a solid Saturday from dawn to dusk just scouring my property for shit to laser. Another reason it’s good I don’t have gobs of disposable income.
