BAWHAHAHAHAHA!!! :crackup: Classic! Stainless steel has my vote. (I'm allergic to most metals.)

I'm the last born, so either perfection was finally acheived with me, or my parents decided they couldn't do any worse... :eg: I just ordered my first real laser this morning: JetLasers PL-E pro 1.7W 462nm It was suggested to me that I build one before buying. After reading your post and...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Pi R Squared, I didn't notice it until now, you're in Snohomish County. I was born in Monroe (in Snohomish County). I don't remember it though, as I had moved away before I was one.

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm I'm happy to know there are other Alaskans on here. Even cooler that you have been to the place I told my story about. I was on Nabors 33E for a winter to help drill an extended reach well.

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm That's a great point, Atomicrox. Especially if I were to try popping a mylar balloon... lol It wouldn't have dawned on me to consider the beam reflection from a regular balloon. Sounds like a necessary experiment.

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Pi R Squared: I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you like to know how big around everything is...? :p Thanks for the story. I didn't mean to talk trash on a nasty accident a guy had. I was just picturing myself doing something careless with some...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm I would like to go on record and say: If I spend $300+ on a laser, there is absolutely NO WAY IN HELL I'm going to set it on a table where it could just "roll off"! :cryyy: I would feel very sorry for the poor bastard who let such an expensive insterment...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Thank you for your comment, I have considered it carefully. With regards to your #2 I have found this: Safety of Class 4 visible-beam lasers and have read it thoroughly, along with this: Laser Pointer Safety - Sentences for laser offenses I understand that...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Deffinitely. That's a great story too. When you look uppon something that massive, that also eats meat, your weak little mortality lets itself be known. It is deffinitely a humbling experience being that close to something that could take two steps and then...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Yeah, to a brown bear, people are better left alone. To a black bear, people are just as easy to mess with as other animals. To a polar bear, if it moves, it's food!

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Thank you both for your input. I am sold on the 463nm now. Also, I did goof on the title. I meant 445nm and not 456nm. Anyways, I appriciate the comments. I understand the high powered lasers are dangerous. As to weather or not I've been properly "schooled"...

Both of those lasers look awesome! I am jealous. :drool: I'm new here (32yr. old Alaskan) A question: Would you take a 2W 445nm or a 1.7W 463nm if all other specs were identical? I can't decide between two JetLaser PL-E pros. The 463nm is a prettier beam, but would it be noticeably different in...

I just took your advice and thank you. I started a new thread. I know your comment looks harsh on the surface, but I appriciate the input more than I take offense to it. I am brand new here and am just happy I didn't get cussed at! Anyways, thanks for the help! (I deleted my origional post here...

Hello all. This is Philip (I'm new here). I'm 32, I live in Alaska, I'm currently at work in Prudhoe Bay. The internet (here at work) is lousy (to say the least). I have been having a difficult time trying to find the right thread to ask this in, so I just made this one instead. I've spent the...

I apologize. I re-read the thread title and realized my mistake. I was under the impression this was a discussion on 463nm lasers. Please forgive my stupidity.

Re: Laserbtb.com the source for all laser needs. (6%: 109058640691) Thank you for answering me. By "not much difference" do you mean to say there wouldn't be any noticable time difference between poping a balloon with one or the other? If that's the case, I'd be inclined to go with the 462nm...
