Chances are, you’ve already seen video of these lasers before. And probably seen them used to clean broad !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . But check out how good they are at detail work on car parts!
So... have these come down in price yet?

Hm... guess not. So expensive, it even broke Kinja’s price badge. (Edit: okay, it seems to be fixed after publishing. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is what I saw in the post editor. Here’s the Amazon !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in case Kinja borks the embed)

So I shouldn’t mention this is the cheapest, Made in China crap that you can get? (The P-Laser QF50 only does 50W and costs more than $60,000.)
And that the laser ablation machine my shop uses is a 1000W diode pumped water-cooled unit that costs about $650,000. There’s a reason I don’t whine about paying them $165 an hour to do it.

hey, the 100 watt version is half the price, and should still do a decent job. I fiddled around with a 50W galvo-head Co2 laser as a rust ablater, and it worked pretty well, though notably slower.... 100W should still be a fuck-ton faster than scrubbing....

Wait, that gives me an idea... could a laser like this be bounced off of mirrors?

I love how much the first one sounds like an electric shaver.
