I would like to buy an argon laser

^ What is that in your sig?

Best way to explain is the info from Danasoft's site

"The cool thing about this graphic is that when people see it, they think their private information (like their city or IP address) is being publicly shown on your Myspace background, layout, blog, or forum, and they think that other people can see their private info! Their first thought is, "hey, how did my IP address get on this website?!", or "why is this website telling people where I live?!" In reality, they are the only one that can see their private info, because the graphic is created in real-time for each person who sees it. When you see the graphic, you will see your IP. When others see the graphic, they will see their IP."



"This sign makes people realize how vulnerable they are when surfing the web. If you're visiting this site wondering how we know your IP address, you should know that your IP address is automatically shown to every website you visit, including this one."

The shipping calculator doesn't even work for me. But I'm not gonna take the risk with that one anyway.

I can tell you that shipping is supposed to be $80 to my town. Good thing I have access to a forklift..

Can Argon's put out like Watts of power? For burning stuff? Or are they weak like HeNe's?

Large argons are a wild beast... but they can be tamed. (i couldn't resist posting more pictures of my laser... I love this thing)

(Yes... that is in watts on the 10's scale... just under 8W of output)

The idiot staring at the "bright pretty lights" on the ceiling is me. :thinking:

 

[Hemlock_Mike]

Gus -- How much water does a 2 Watt (7 KW input) require ?? I guess I stepped into this BIG argon race.
By the way, What's the sensor head on your 364 meter?

Haha, i was just about to ask "who's that?" as i was looking over the pictures

Stop making me jealous man! I need to get some of that LARGE FRAME ion action, but it's so hard to find in the UK!

Well - Not all good news ----

I won the 2 Watt ArIon laser but the seller is a dud. Poor communications. After a day of posts asking for shipping costs, I went into ebay/PP and saw "FREE" shipping - docummented in my files. I paid it with PP and they confirm payment 3 days later.
Now after 3 days New Life Electronics2 says I owe an additional $115 for shipping after PP said only $80. They don't reply to my mails or cell #.

Beware the turds on ebay.

Fck. My sympathies, man.

I'm in a similar situation, but with only $22.50 on the line.

Update --- I paid $93 shipping for this 2 watt laser. OMG -- It's in a 4x4x3.5' pallet box and now weighs 240 POUNDS. I'm glad I have a forklift available! The sellers appear to be OK people but the system arrives untested. I'm glad the welding shop has high current 240 volt outlets and 240 volt 3 phase just in case. I'll need garden hose for water cooling.
