Allright I have an interesting video showing just how fast a focussed 445nm laser can cut a wooden q-tip/match stick...
Driver is a Die4lasers driver set at 1.68A at 4.65Vdc.
This is amazing show of just much power one of these diodes can deliver optically.
I have successfully melted silver solder, set steel wool on fire. (not difficult even with a 6x blu-ray), burnt /vaporized carbon, set paper on fire from 20ft away.
These are extremely powerful even though they produce a multimode beam with a high divergence, still plenty powerful to do SERIOUS damage.
edit: had to add this info. Lens is a 405nm coated Aixiz lens. Gives a nice solid (thick) beam when set for infinitive focus that has the ability to burn at quite a distance.
