Using a focusing lens pulled from an old rear projection TV I was able to burn holes though a piece of paper in seconds using a "5mW" 405nm Ebay pointer! :eg:
Although the holes are hardly visible to the naked eye and I know the ebay lasers can be quite overspec but the beam shined right through. It was pretty neat even after blasting through countless items with my 445nm.
Gave me a new respect for optics. If only I could get my 445nm focused do finely!
I was also thinking maybe it would be a better trend for newbies already armed with 5mW pointers instead of Pot "Breaking" :crackup:
Id post a picture but my camera charger is MIA at the moment
