Steel cutting with Synrad 400-watt CO2 laser

[bloodieduckies]

i have a bunch of synrad lasers that say model 48-2SAL serial 2471,what do you think these are worth?

[7zobzombie]

can i stick my dick in the beam?

[tubage07]

Uzi nine millimeter with laser sighting...

[TheWolvesCurse]

@tubage07 thumbs up for arnie. Get to tha choppa

[dogbone222]

hehehe... if made smaller please mass produce into rifles... thank you From the people of Ingenuity 

[sebastiaan1997]

im gonna buy this lasers at dragonlasers

[mr125321]

Wow!

[ultimatemariobrother]

Eye lasers, anyone?

[mymueller]

It is a Laser AND Oxygenblast cutter.



[deathkricket123]

I want that as my laser pointer!

[helios774]

me want big lightsabre

[TheReaSlimShady]

do these cut arms and legs ? were can i get one ? XD

[Naud1234]

@TheReaSlimShady I think they will. :P If they cut to metal in an instant.

[ShiPandas]

<.<. Mounting two on a truck. Twisted Metal anyone? :)

[AlecTeal]

It's a class four. that then becomes an act of terrorisium

[qrlasers]

puys in a flashlight with aa batterys there it turns on in half a secound dims and in 1 secound it runs out of batters crap thats way they said to get the charger :P

[chaos1267]

might as well use a plasma cutter. they are alot cheaper to buy and use than this... but lasers are pretty cool so id buy 1 too

[FencingBoomerang]

May not be hand held but I imagine you could make one of these mounted on a truck.

[gttp1111]

lol

[crustproductions]

ok so when do these come handheld? ;)

[reviathon360]

There called lightsabres. o_o'

[cadetcryer]

i want one. ihave no idea what i'd use it for, but it's a freakin lazer!!

[lucasguillen]

i would cut my enemy house

[ShiPandas]

I cant wait till lightsabers are invented. Im gonna be owning bamboo trees :D THAT WOULD BE SO FAWKING FUN.

[hihaatje]

lolz bamboo trees xD

[SOCOMSNIPER33]

Fyi "lightsabers" use "pure plasma" not lasers. And no I'm not a Star Wars geek, I just played KoToR and it explains about Sabers.

[Zannyzaitzev]

thats what i call laser percision

[cheeseboat15]

PUNS!!! I HATE THEM!!!

[ATEClan554]

is there a handheld version of this xD

[ScottZirpolo]

Yep. Laser pointers. You can point at things. xD

[dbs55denis]

Holy shit thats so cool...

[xXxLAMBOFGOD12xXx]

looks like a normal plasma cutter to me

[WorldOfWarcraftMovie]

I want that kind of laser... then I'll go to the closest city and burn all motherfuckers in to two pieces \,,/ ::D

[randomlazyguy]

you might be insane

[WorldOfWarcraftMovie]

I am :)

[yurikgaara]

then you wont get one \(^.^)/

but i might do the same HAHAH

[mackjsm]

YEAH!!!!!

[domin0o415]

mount on the front of your car and burn holes in bumpers

[irishpimp1001]

we just saw it cut through mild steel, it wont stop at the bumper lol

[Acornsniper]

o dear :o

[diedy5]

put that on a pan and tilt servo and aim it to ppls eyes controlled with the Wii nunchuck :O

[nsawilla]

wooow o.O

[XshuaX]

I want to mount that on a BFG9000 & run around blasting everthing.

[aero405]

Impressive video... thank you, iyvind and pmgodfrey, for your informative responses!

Other than that, the massive quantity of ignorance expressed in these comments makes me fear for my country's immediate future.

[VettemanC4R]

could someone explain how this is more cost effective compared to just using a plasma cutter?

[iyvind]

Laser is not more cost effective if the quality of a plasma cut will do. But if you need to cut with fine edge you will see the gains.

[JakeyCak3z]

@VettemanC4R Long term laser is better because being the tube holds out, the laser uses less power around 800W compared to around 5,000W from a plasma cutter, it's a much better cut, and there are no electrodes to use up.

[heffyjustin]

if this is what the average perso ncan get imagine what the military has

[ezzab69]

man why do you laugh about stuff like that?

[H0lY3V1L]

i dun laugh, dats kinda y i said b cairful, i said lol cz it was such a long time ago dat i dun even remember how it happened, all i kno, is he was woking with dat cutting thing, nd sumtin went wrong... i didnt say lol cz of wut happened 2 him...

[likelight2flies]

I hope you two don't speak how you type...

[passismyname]

dear god please stop talking like that... it doesnt make you cool it makes people like me wanna come to your house and beat the shit out of you

[skillphiliac]

Agreed. Good times to be a grammar nazi, good times indeed.

Besides the fact that he completely raped this language beyond imagination... no, just no.

[heffyjustin1]

it looks more like a plasma cutter than a laser but im not sayin it cant be a laser cuz lasers can do some pretty amazing things

[AZURA888]

With just 400W you do that to the steel?, it seems 3mm steel plate, wow. Then with that power you can cut a person easy, jaja be careful. It remembers me the movie Congo.

[cheeyusin]

WhatTheDuck i wanna kill ppl using that 400 watt laser =P just kidding

[segarza]

You can build your own CO2 laser if you have a little knowledge with high vacuum systems, H.V. and glass blowing. Google it and you will find the info.

[calvinlor]

lasers.....awesome

[mercanaries3]

its science idiot...

[LovelyYTRocks]

Wow...

I'm going to use that on my surgery to remove hirsuties papillaris genitalis.

:<

My dick is going to be lobbed off.

[crazza801]

is there even any point in this vid???

[DevilMaster]

Yes, and the point is for iyvind to FIRE HIS LAZ0R!!!

O o

[tonyeddie]

(Don't know almost anything about these things), but do you think this could cut through bullet proof glass

[racerx007666]

probably not glass is see-through so it would'nt absorb any light energy what is used as heat energy to cut.

[amped51]

What that could do to your face......

[hytlerson]

i want it.

[mercanaries3]

thats plasma and thats not for sale u idiots the only 1s who have it are factories or sciense labs that test plasma and laser effects

[pmgodfrey]

- @ mercanaries3 -

It's difficult to understand what you said because it was all one sentence.

That IS a CO2 laser, it IS NOT a plasma cutter.

I can afford a 400 watt CO2 tube and you probably could too.

Plasma cutters - another affordable alternative for $1,000.

Laser effects? I'm your man for that. I have lots of lasers at the house. Several blues, greens and reds and a couple of RGB projectors.

And it's spelled "science" not "sciense". You should have stayed in "skool".

[amutchall]

I am looking for a laser cutter to cut upto 3 mm thick inox or SS steel, I have my own cnc gantry set up on plasma, but wouldlike to go in for a laser cutter also, but dont know where to find it at affordable price. can you help.

amutchall(at)gmail(dot)com

[pmgodfrey]

- @ amutchall -

Contact Synrad and see if they have some lasers from customers who have upgraded equipment.

If you have NO experience with lasers and high voltage power supplies and try to piece one together from parts you'll probably end up spending more money trying to find the right parts than just buying a used laser with low hours.

Remember, just because the beam can't be seen doesn't mean it's not there. Specular reflections can cause immediate eye damage. Wear the proper goggles.

[iyvind]

pmgodfrey is on the mark...but the real answer is that you cannot cut 3mm SS "affordably" with a laser. You should need 400 watts minimum and really should be using 1,000 watts+. If you aren't making a lot of money from your cuts, it is not practical to do it with laser.

[sexyenrique]

i want one of those lasers

[GeneralAnimator]

how long can those shoot laser?

[Ruvim69]

umm laser is just light

[TomAllenUK]

Ooh imagine if your sack was under that. Toasty

[skratch666]

I need to get one of those >:)

[jedigeek93]

what do you think would happen if and idiot put his hand underthere

[Pyrodregget]

Then he'll need help with the screwcaps in the future...

[Phayo3]

thats an idotic question! nothing would happen...

[jedigeek93]

ok that makes scence a laser that cuts through metal dose nothing to your hand

[Phayo3]

You cant tell between a sarcastic remark, and a serious one very well can you? duh...his fingers are gonna get chopped...

Jedigeek93 is an idiot...

[jedigeek93]

ok first of all I made that comment months ago, i don't know what loser looks through several months of comments, just to call other people losers, and second of all i don't know how to tell sarcasm IN TEXT FORM.........douche

[elgranto7]

sucks to be the metal

[rojoD2]

y dont thay set them on army trucks and cars and helicopters so the can shoot the drivers of other cars etc. and shit with them

[fms2011]

they do with helicopters and planes. but not to kill other drivers, they do it to shoot down nuclear missiles. and those take unbelievable amounts of power. with our current technology it takes a very large space to hold all the batteries that it takes to shoot them.

[rojoD2]

cool

[jerryaltman]

Sci Fi films set everything wrong and stupid in terms of battle with laser guns. What lose time trying to shout by single shootings, instead of use a cutting laser to hurt several persons in a single moviment?

[TheBiggestWolf]

Because portable deadly laser guns over heat?

[Styrbjorn91]

Becouse making more and more dangerous weapons isnt the solution to everything?

[elgranto7]

o yes it is XD

[cassius969]

Personal safety and overheatin problems ?

[lexichronicle]

computer PSU wouldn't work, you need a high voltage low current supply to lase CO2, entirely the opposite of a CPU, and something like this would probably have more trouble cutting thru you than it would steel

[aarrgh5]

good, i was looking for something to cut the crust off my bread.

[ralfyrules]

lol i thought the exact same thing.

but i think you cant get the amps thru a standerd computer power suply or something.

[pitbike2006]

co2 lasers run on 15.000 volts not 12v that is why u need a speical transformer a 110v to 15.000volts or higher on more power full lasers

[lilcomposer]

People, around 95 milli Watts is substantial burning power. THIS is 400 WATTS! This is power enough to cut someone in half in seconds.

[hazza0224]

soooo true

[pashaahsj2]

does it light a match stick or pop a bolloon, cause i'm searcin for a nice laser...

[Danny7930]

it burns down ur house

[nick5792]

A house? That thing could cut the moon in half!

[rojoD2]

ye but it wouldn't be able to cut your mum in half xD

[Leisi1337]

If that thing would hit your eyes, you would be totally owned, lol :D

[burnsieboy44]

Wow that would cut someone in half!

[nottafanboy6954]

LOL can it pop a balloon, a class 3B can pop a balloon even from a considerable distance, this is a class 4 on steroids (500mW+ is class 4 and this is 800 times what qualifies a laser for class 4 status).

[eg0u410f]

the class of laser has nothing to do wit the power, its given a class regarding to the damage that the laser can cause to the body under NORMAL opperating coditions, a 3.5kW laser can be classes as a class 1 laser if it is enclosed when it is been used, 150mW could be a class 4 if the lasers is open

[hematose]

Actually, 150 mW is class IIIB open or closed. 500 mW is where class IV begins.

[Bionuker]

Can it pop a balloon? I want one!

[phazonxl]

sweet!

Take it outside and see what it can do!

[stevenlap]

That would be good for killing starlings!

[pmgodfrey]

-stevenlap- I've seen your starling comments before - I take it you just don't like them do you.... :) ....especially when 500 of them pile up in a small bush outside your front door.

[Xenodius]

Yeah. I have a fresnel lens that puts out an average of 400 watts, and I can just barely pull off melting a penny.

[rouven84]

You don't have a clue about lasers.. D'oh!

[Xenodius]

Yeah, I know, at time of that writing I didn't!

But I do now... I made a DVD-based labby, TEC cooled, using a SenKat group buy diode from LaserPointerForums. Its only ~200mW, but it can cut tape in less than 2 seconds.

Its all about coherent light...

[rojoD2]

what bit isnt that a 400watt?? so y cant u own everything with yours??

[rojoD2]

fucking retard make sence

lol this was saposed to be a reply

[JamesKM1ll]

Don't you mean: "Fucking retard, make sense. Haha this was supposed to be a reply."? EPIC FUCKING FAIL!

[rojoD2]

"give up" rojo said to the loser

[bgineat]

that is some powerfull stuff. must have quite a focusing lens.
