I'm a growing hobbyist, and it just really bothers me that I cant burn it!! haha.@joescj - What are you trying to do with the laser?
@joeyss - Good advice on safety, but 445nm really wouldn't work as well as other options - specifically IR.
Haha, yes a torch would do this very well. :yh:808nm is not nearly as energetic, so you would need significantly more power.
445nm properly focused will burn/melt some materials, but generally the power that's available to us is not sufficient.
I'll stand by what I said before... IR, only you need a lot more power.
Still didn't answer what this is for btw
Lol, now you did
Btw, don't double post, many people here have a bug up their behinds about that (personally I don't care:shrug. Use the Edit button to add to an existing post.
For burning white, melting, etc, I highly recommend one of these:Amazon.com: Blazer GB2001 Self-Igniting Butane Micro-Torch: Industrial & Scientific
Yea, I've read a lot about blu-ray 405nm being much more effective at burning. I've also read a lot the says otherwise.For burning white, go for a >700mW 405nm

I see that you actually have one, is it capable of melting stuff like white plastic close range?
Thanks! :yh:
Awesome! Can't wait!!Please give me a link to such a statement.
I´m going to look for some white plastic
Awesome! Can't wait!!
:drool:
Haha, I literally just closed 7 tabs talking about wavelengths and absorption rates. Give me a few minutes.Before you have to answer me my red question above.
