Its worth is something you should have evaluated before saying you were going to buy it, now isn't it?

you made the offer, you're obligated to purchase the laser.

what i still don't understand is that you are justifying keeping a $300 laser because you lost $30 a year ago. :thinking:

*COUGH* and who cut/engraved that meter? *COUGH* *Tesla* flings more alphas at GBD

Re: A short session with a 1W> 532nm DHOM. this isn't laserchat, GBD :na: "/me" is less effective.

hi, i have a few Helium neon tubes coming in and need a PSU for them. the tubes need at least 7-8 mA at around 2.8 kV. if you have one that you are willing to sell, make me an offer.

the lens position varies too much to make a practical mount. sorry :(

i haven't heard anything about arctics not showing up. even though the ones that did show for the most part weren't quite up to par (mine has some of the shoddiest construction i've seen in awhile).

Well, there is the right thing to do and the profitable thing to do, it's up to you in the end.

i got a refund from WL when i sent my arctic to have it replaced, that was confusing as well. you should probably contact them and clear it up like i did.

hmmm what kind of duty cycle would one expect from a jellyfish? and, most importantly, will the jellyfish be able to pop a balloon? i ask the important questions :p

no one is forcing you to buy lasers that make me jealous lol

Heheh, the one hand rule. Thanks, its a Franceformer as well. The little guy has served me well, that's for sure.

at the voltages i was testing, i had no problem with the insulation thickness. though, i agree and would never touch the wire at that high of voltage, the point was to demonstrate that the insulation would be thick enough for most laser enthusiast's needs. as long as you don't solder with a...

any updates Glenn?

i've seen one be run at 2W over night, be sure to have good heat sinking. edit: 300th post :)

DO NOT put a co2 on one of those printers, unless you want it to destroy itself. the printer is made pretty much exclusively by things that absorb the co2 wavelength. you are pretty much limited to a 445 diode so you can cut out paper and maybe thin wood. (if you want to cut aluminum, you will...

coke: start small, learn how to handle lasers safely. after you've been here for a bit and are more used to dealing with lasers in a safe manor, then i can start recommending solid sate lasers that give immense amounts of pulsed energy. lasers like the SSY-1 are by no means a proper first laser.

point it down and give it a few gentle taps (like a ketchup bottle except gentle), keep it pointing down and turn it on. if you get the tem01, then its pocket lint. new wish blu-rays have a lot of space for lint to hide.
