sbg has a fricken laser

[SuperBuickGuy]

It truly fits, after all, I am a lawyer - and we all know that what's more BA than a shark is a shark with lasers



actually, it's a laser welder that was given to me by a large company - I have no idea what I'll do with it, but truthfully, would any of you said no?

 

[3Hummers]

Hell no! you will figure something out.

 

[abearden]

Nope, I'd be finding a way to plug it in and figuring out what to do with it later.

You can never go wrong with anything that has a yellow triangle sticker on it......

The things you can build in your shop is quite extensive now!

if only I had space to work, things are getting mighty crowded....

 

[abearden]

Between you and Scarsman, WA Hummer Crafts would be a hell of an event!

Don't know what to do with it? lets start building the Death Star :giggle:

 

[Big2dabank]

Ok I'm ready for some show and tell. Power it on and melt something or does it emit gamma radiation capable of causing unknown genetic mutations.

 

[Ricky B]

I think making some invisible axles would be cool.It does have a switch for that.....right?.....

 

[Diode Dynamics]

It looks extremely expensive lol

I started dinking with it on Sunday - pretty amazing technology, whoddathunkit, besides shrimp on a barbie; the Aussies do lasers too...

Is that a water filter I see?....

Reverse osmosis water system with your laser?! Cool!

RO reverses the polarity of water and reduces the ph down to around 4.0, thats not good people.

 

[Diode Dynamics]

It seems to run on some form of electricity! lol

Thank you for that, Mr. Franklin.....

 

[SuperBuickGuy]

Is that a water filter I see?....

yep, and in reading the tech manual it says that it tests water conductivity to make sure the filter is working fine. It's a closed-loop system that uses a Miller welding powered-cooler to keep it cool. Truth be told, it's the reason I snagged it - I figured that, worst case scenario, I could have a bad-ass torch cooler for when I weld aluminum...

 

[derian06]

Does this literally just melt the metal together?

[SuperBuickGuy]

and today I took the drawings for the light bar holders to my laser cutter.... nice to know that I could actually use this to do it all myself.... if for no other reason, that'd be an encouragement.

Light bar mounts getting closer
