It's cool, but the fumes are highly toxic. The bigger devices came with a extractor/vacuum cleaner. So @Brent wear a mask!

Chiasson Smoke has one too, and he's featured it a few times on his channel

Exactly. He's not cutting out some of the "what about this?" scenes.

Saw this first on Ed China's channel quite some time ago. They did a Land Rover frame with it. Different manufacture but same thing.

The machine is cool but the way you use it is not! I Recently got mine fromeBay. The fumes produced by evaporating rust and paint are very toxic, I wear a mask and I use a fan to blow the fumes away from me. I would never do this in an enclosed indoor environment without a fume extractor, not worth my lungs' health.

he really needs a laminar flow hood with carbon filters - they are easy to build but probably a necessity - item is now discontinued on amazon

This needs to be at the top

Top comment.

Absolutely what I was thinking, and I'm an actual medical doctor.

Erin Brockovich dude.

Some removal processes will still require media blasting

I got some things he can weld with the fancy laser for trinkets.

this one $5.54 delivery

LOL The rust goes somewhere when it's hit with a laser. I was an indoor air quality tech and the first thing I thought was about how nanometer small the ionized particulate matter is floating in the air now, and ready to get into the deepest regions of your lungs and give you a case of rust-bestosis or cancer a few years down the road. I can almost guarantee you that this is something you don't want to be using in a closed environment without exhaust fans or a canister respirator. You don't see the dust, because the particles are way too small to see now....which makes it less safe to breathe, not more.

Just because I do not see it does mean that it is not their. Thanks, what a good response. All that sanding of paint and rust for years is probably in my lungs. @@ReptileRescue

@@ReptileRescue I used to do welding and coating Inspection for the Oil and Gas industry, it was alarming just how many workers ignored the dust mask requirements, I once saw a guy who had been applying a product called ,'glasscoat', to a large pile, at the end of his shift the coating he had inhaled was running out of his nostrils.

@@AnthonyTobyEllenor-pi4jq Yep. The powder coater I use to go to wore a paper dust mask. He'd take it off when we'd come to pickup/drop off. Two big streaks of powder on his face going right into his nose. His lungs are going to be perfectly preserved long after he's gone. LOL!

Got mine fromebay and it is a time saver and fun to use. However, the fumes this machines makes when evaporating rust and paint are very toxic. I work outside and I wear a respirator and I have a fan to blow the nasty fumes away from me. I might use this indoors when I get a fume extractor.

He will likely regret not wearing a respirator... Particulate iron oxide will take years to kill him, but it will start working from day 1 of ingestion. The DOD learned that the hard way in the early days at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Now they pay out some $20,000,000,000 in medical claims of former workers.

You know we’d all be doing the same thing!

He's using it like a Lightsaber!

@@Durham.Reality There's always one of these guys on every video lol

Exactly.

The problem is, unless you are using it commercially and in high volume, it's too expensive. Do your coworkers need to wear glasses too? is it like welding where you can't look at it.

@@christo930 You have the option of buying directly from a laser equipment supplier, which will save you a lot of money.😃😃

@@bingyanlaser It's eleven thousand Dollars. WAY too rich for me.

Good info. Thanks (for me) Simply put.

How much does it cost? Thanks

@32:04 10 to 20 watts? He's using 500 watts 😂 I'm sure your both right

And not just a normal welding helmet, a laser welding helmet designed to deal with the beam intensity (edit: and wavelength) of a laser

@@Mrshotshell Not only the beam intensity but the bream wavelength. Different laser wavelengths need different types of lenses. Example: A CO2 laser puts out 9000 to 10500 nm wavelength and clear acrylic will block it. Fiber lasers, such as this one, will be 780 to 2200 nm wavelength and will pass through acrylic completely (that's why you can't cut acrylic with a fiber laser) Get good eye protection for the wavelength of your laser, not the cheap Chinese glasses they sent with the machine. They're not cheap but.. how much would you value your vision at?

@@jackflash6377 As an optometrist (and a welder, machinist, home foundry, fixer of old junque) you are spot on the money. And it doesn't have to be a direct strike. If you hit something that is reflective, the reflected beam still carries enough energy to burn the shit out of your retina. The popping sound you might hear is your retina boiling. Wherever the beam hits, that part of the retina is gone forever and never grows back. Neurons are fussy that way. And photorecepters are just specialized neurons. And after the initial injury, it gets worse. The burn causes inflammation and swelling which can lead to further damage. Do it right or don't do it at all. OK, I will get off the safety soapbox. Is that thing 7 flavors of awesome and cool or what??? Please carry on with another great episode.

I just made a similar comment about the proper eye protection. I'm glad I'm not the only one that mentioned it. I hope he takes our advice.

And please think about the dog walking around. Protect your eyes but protect the dogs too.

That sounds like a good tip. 👍

I'd rather have an exhaust or vacuum with water filtration sys8or something 🤔 🙄 😒

Water and air sounds the best I use to turn hot shower on and fan when I was a child to keep the smell particles down to a minimum.

Very import safety tip here.

Having the flammable can of Kroil within the accidental misfire range probably wasn't the best idea, either

But can vapors formed condense?

If you are out of us/CA (or you appear to be for them) it will show that way.

@@Vein1986 well God damn. I guess it does suck to live in California sometimes. Regardless, finally a real world video. Not some tik Tok b.s.

@@Vein1986 - I'm a Canuckistan, and I'm getting n/a as well!

Guess the ATF needs to get involved even though it’s not ballistic 😮

They're available on Ebay!

that's true! I noticed this when I laser-cleaned the square tubing and inadvertently left it outside overnight.

I wonder what would happen if used on a magnesium casting?

@@williamarmstrong7199 I would NOT a Magnesium fire would be almost impossible to extinguish !!!!!!!

You are 💯 correct. I spent over 20 years working with industrial lasers as both a tech rebuilding and doing alignment work and as an engineer working on design applications. That laser would blind someone at up to 2 miles away in a straight line. 500 watts was a big industrial laser just 10 years ago for the record. Safety is no joking matter with these lasers.

@@DanA-nl5uo thanks for the information. I've been interested in this type of equipment for a while. But they come with a hefty price tag.

@@DanA-nl5uo My Mom has worked at Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Alion Science & Technology for the DOD, working with lasers in defense weapons. She said this guy and his wife could die from the particulate matter of even one use. I hope 20 years from now this doesn't come back to haunt them...

Don't use it on your face!

Yup because the laser itself is invisible, the red laser is just so you can aim it. You have to get the right wavelength though or the glasses are useless.

I just watched that too. Great results! 😉✌

I watched Ed China use one on KZfaq on an old truck chassis if i remember correctly. He rented that one.

Yes that was us! it was really fun and looking forward to going back for more. Should anyone have needs look us up.

​@alienlasercleaning where are you located. Sorry; I didn't watch the video. I would like to rent one before falling head first into buying one 😮

Fra gee lee must be Italian. 😆✌

Wrong holiday for the leg lamp

What's a nice 1 like that cost? Around 10k+ US? Well worth it tho IMO.

@@michaelbristol6467 The 2000W unit is for sale on Amazon for $16,477.00

​​@michaelbristol6467 - One site I found, stylecnc, lists ~$5-9k for the 3 in 1 welder, cutter, cleaner unit in 1000W, 1500W, and 3KW continuous wave lasers. Interestingly affordable for such a capable piece of equipment... Would be great for where one needs to clean for additional processes. There should be ventilation/smoke capture and exhaust systems used when running these, I think, especially if removing paints, sealants, and other materials... but zinc it's self, from galvanized items, is a major hazard.

@@michaelbristol6467 I "adjusted" one of these for someone a couple of months ago. It has an over voltage limit in it that's set for 220V which was tripping here where his incoming service was running at 246V (the limit was set at 245, so it would intermittently trip as the voltage would go up a little). He said it was a little over 9k

Where did you pick it up what model ?

Price is up to $11,000 now.

@@briansmyla8696When prices go up due to demand, it means more manufacturers will enter the market, which eventually will lead to prices going down due to competition. There's definitely demand for these kinds of devices when the price is reasonable. I might be totally wrong, but I don't think there's any particular ill-advised patent in effect that would make it impossible for competition to appear.

They were 50 just a couple years ago so they are coming down.

@@briansmyla8696 Our machine only need $4000 🥰

Good old reynolds ponds, the trash dump mb lol. That use to be such a nice place, but dead beats destroyed it. There are major talks of shutting it down to local access as now there are even broken glass in that big lake, even around that little island we’re finding broken glass. It’s become a major hazard and polluted so bad. Things have gotten worse over the last few years as everyone posts the location of that place all over social media, brings in a lot of people that don’t care about our nice getaway and end up destroying it. There’s literally a 50/50 chance you end up getting a flat tire just by driving in. The roads haven’t been maintained in years and the people I’ve talked to said there is zero plans to maintain them any further. It’s phase one of the plan to shut it all down to public access. So sad what people did to that place, I can’t even go there anymore to do long range target shooting. I’m one of those guys that even picks up my 22lr brass, I leave nothing behind except tire tracks. Now we gotta drive like 3hrs 1 way just to shoot 1000+ yards, found an awesome spot that nobody knows about but it’s an all day event with over 6hrs of total driving from wpg.

yeah i can smell the ozone + steel vapors produced

He also probably told her he got a great deal on it for $100 on sale. 😂

I had to check that price and no bs, 11k!? Hope you get a ton of views
