IMMA FIRRIN MAH LAZOOOOOORRR

Tube inside a tube.. Tubeception 

[HueJazzz]

thank you white poeple<3

[maidpretty]

These series are waaaaay better than any porn. So the ultimate porn is: technoporn!

[sysghost]

Is it just me, or does this video have serious problems with audio sync?

[sysghost]

I just found the problem: It's me!... or rather... my browser. Opera can't handle youtube very well. Once I switched browser, problem vanished.

dont get that hand too close.....

[TheDarwiniser]

i would have thought the traditional way to cut metal was.... with..... a metal... cutter?

[poleeed]

is it me or is this videos audio way out of sync.

[sysghost]

@poleeed Had this problem too. My solution. scrap Opera. While opera is good at everything else,it's horribly bad at youtube. Try Chrome. Works flawless there.

[BBMix]

Why don't they make laser cutting machines with another laser cutting machine.

[nextgenrbv]

The only reason I know is becouse I accily make that mirror. :) I make laser optics for a living mostly cu and aluminum. The only optics that get polished are crystal. Like zinc sylinide (ik its spelled wrong) germanium sylicone ect. But all these meterals also get diamond turned depending on the need

[KiloByte69]

But how do they make the machine that makes the laser cutter machine?

[divercetgd]

@KiloByte69 it all began if africa.

[43932]

@KiloByte69 it is done by hand !

[bestamerica]

'

how many inch gauge of metal steel that laser can cutting the metal steel

[fredram0ne]

Laser cutters can cut any shape, but they are more expensive and slower than a stamping press. Laser cutters are for complex shapes and a few products.

"Please rate 5 stars"

It made me 'nostalgia

[Hobypyrocom]

kimura as for the cooling systems for the telescopes they are needed to keep the temperature of the mirror constant thru whole mirror because different temperature will deform the integrity of the mirror and by that the image will bi distorted, not because stars are like lasers.

[Binarychicken]

Who dares to build this at home?

[dex21797]

wat would happen if i put my hand in front of that invisible beam? :D

[Eschelonistic]

@dex21797 considering a pulsed beam or (Pierce) of 2 seconds can go through a finger, CW (Continuous Wave) would quite severely injure your hand if not remove it..

[linkuei83]

@dex21797 you'll get an invisible hand...as if by magic!

[KiloByte69]

How do they make the How its Made show?

[kimura2Loc]

why can't a LASER cut a mirror?

[boxmour1]

@kimura2Loc because most of the light particles reflect off

[skinVISIBLE]

@kimura2Loc In some large telescope I heard o, they needed to have a cooling system in it because the stars they were looking at were magnified so much they acted like lasers or something but dont quote me.

[Hobypyrocom]

laser can cut mirror.

a commercial mirror is constructed by 2 materials: glass and reflective material (mostly silver)

every material needs different wavelength of laser light to be effected. like if you have laser for cutting metal then that laser cant cut skin or organic tissue (i have seen this with my eyes in china laser tube manufacturer) or it will need more power.

so to cut mirror you'll need two different wavelengths or the wavelength between those too but with much more power.

[trespire]

@kimura2Loc It can cut a glass mirror. The mirrors used in laser machines are usually made from polished copper with special silver or gold coating. Lasers work in a specific "color" or wavelength of light, and the materials used for the mirrors are chosen to reflect that particular wavelength of light with out being damaged themselves, as long as they are kept clean.

[nextgenrbv]

@trespire the copper is not polished. it is dimond turned on a highly precice cnc. polishing copper makes it shiny yes but lacks in surface flatness and will skatter the laser beam

[trespire]

@nextgenrbv Thanks for the information, of course you are correct. The high precision of the geometry of the reflecting surface is just as important as the surface finish, otherwise the laser beam shape will become distorted the further away it travels from the mirror. The beam needs to travel up to 20m in some machines with out any noticeable distortion. I knew lenses were diamond turned but not CU mirrors.

[MrJablong]

had to throw in a pun somewhere

[SwiftHDX]

And how do they make the machine that makes the laser?

[thierryxxthierry]

they think its a real laser what they are building u can get a (laser) or the real name plasma cutter for like 100 usd.... plasma cutter is a mix of conpresd air and electricity u morons-.-

[madisonelectronic]

@thierryxxthierry Smoke my pole, waffleass.

[lithium3fun]

@thierryxxthierry No. A plasma cutter uses an electric arc to superheat compressed gas, which in turn burns out the metal in a small area. A laser cutter uses light energy to vaporize the material. Plasma cutters leave rough edges and are hardly accurate, whereas a good laser cutter is accurate to within microns. Do your research before posting insults "u moron-.-".

[thierryxxthierry]

@lithium3fun maybe u should do yours because a plasma cutter is like using is straighlty by eyes and has no rough edges when u can do it good

[lithium3fun]

@thierryxxthierry Tell that to my friend who spent a lot of money on one and was severely disappointed in the cut quality. That however was a moot point in the argument that laser cutters and plasma cutters are not one and the same. Don't change the topic.

[thierryxxthierry]

@lithium3fun read this carefully! A FULLY SKILLED WELDER CAN CUT WITHOUT ROUGH EDGES!

[lithium3fun]

@thierryxxthierry I'm not saying that a skilled welder can't have an immaculate cut quality. I thought we were talking about CNC plasma cutters many shops use. Let me explain it like this: We own a small business that cuts ornaments out of wood. For the longest time we did this using a scroll saw, but when we switched to a CNC Laser engraver we were able to cut far more intricate pieces with greater accuracy and cleaner cuts, faster. I wasn't taking a shot at welders. It's a different business.

[thierryxxthierry]

@lithium3fun im a welder when u cut with a acethylin torg u get rough edges but when u get a hamer they val off and plasma dont make rouge edges

[av8rdav]

@thierryxxthierry Maybe you should consider a career in journalism. I'm being sarcastic. Your grammar and spelling is atrocious.

[thierryxxthierry]

@av8rdav maybe cause i dont get any english at school u moron i am learning it with doing it at my job u faggot!

[Nizami0077]

It's an indeed marvelous technology.

[Zappyguy111]

Dear Santa....

Hey is it wrong for me to want a shed full of tools and machines to make more machines and/or robots?

[lithium3fun]

@Zappyguy111 I have a shop full of equipment (including a laser engraver, a scaled down version of this thing), so probably not.

[guyNbluejeans]

Human beings sure are smart.

[macreviewer76]

do they use laser cutting machines to make a laser cutting machine?

[camofwerms]

@macreviewer76 Nearly all metal components of Trumpf laser machines are cut with Trumpf laser machines. Trumpf also uses their own punch machines (referred to as "stamping presses" in the video) which do mostly small holes, slots, indentations, and textured patterns. Trumpf press brakes (bending machines) are also used. Large milling machines (which Trumpf does not manufacture) do the precision machining for things like rack and rail surfaces.

[jakeharris99910]

@macreviewer76 machinamanification already asked something like that....

[meetsouder]

i love how gental, clean, and organized these laser cutter factories are compared to mass production factories

[nextgenrbv]

@meetsouder aint that the truth



[mittensthesnipercat]

that plastic cube melting is awesome

[machinamanification]

They needed laser cutters to make this ... so ... how did they make the first laser cutter?

[dbraven]

@machinamanification they used a hydraulic press?

[Digadogup]

@machinamanification they used a mill or lathe ( massive one) :D

[3ndlessSky]

@machinamanification Most ignorant comment I have read to date...

[machinamanification]

@3ndlessSky

Ass. it was supposed to be funny, but that must be a foreign subject to you.

[jimmyhoffa9]

@machinamanification painstakingly by hand with the precision of a high end watch maker.
