Hiya, It's been years since I used my green laser, I'd left it in the care of a relative who didn't do a great job of caring for it when they used it. Long story short the lense in the middle of the housing section (not the focusing end) was damaged beyond repair and the brass casing dented...

Hi, Does anyone know of a reseller (that is not O-like) that send out good quality diodes and drivers? I've had 2x 200mw diodes sent from o-like in the last 2 months, one died within the first few cycles and the other was dead on arrival. I'm not looking for the cheapest (nor the most...

Hey guys, It's been a long time since I've posted here and I'm rusty with lasers in general now. After someone (points the finger at his missus) broke my green laser diode by trying to force the wrong battery into it and breaking the driver off along with the legs of the diode, I finally got...

I've had my 200mw o-like for a while now and was wondering, how on earth do I alter the divergence on the unit? I'm guessing they used loc-tite on the lens or something because it doesn't turn, unless i need to try harder? I don't want to break the unit though! Any ideas anyone?

Hi, just got my 150mw green from O-like today, they have changed the design of them a little from what they used to be...(see attached pics) The new style comes with a new switch to bypass (if you need to) I found it easier to remove the switch (4 pin contact) and solder a solid link across the...

This is my new Argon, pics of inside of head for the purpose of identification of parts and head I think its actually a single line argon as per the model number on the back... :P

Hello.. again! My argon laser needs a shiney new fan for the head, its a 120mm fan currently running on a seperate plug to my PSU, I've seen a 335cfm fan, but would that cause too much air pressure inside the head?

Herrows! I didn't want to hijack Rathat's thread but also wanted to get some info on where to pick up a cheap multi line argon ion laser, complete with PSU (single phase). I live in the UK so if anyone over here knows where I can pick one up, I'm looking in the range of around 200-350...

Anyone got £16,000 I can borrow? :P http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1500-WATT-FERRANTI-MF1500-Co2-LASER_W0QQitemZ320425612766QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_BOI_Metalworking_Milling_Welding_Metalworking_Supplies_ET?hash=item4a9adad5de&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Very impressive machine :)

Hello all! I've been watching the goings on in the forum for a month or two now, reading up on bits and pieces to get my basic knowledge up to scratch! I first became interested in lasers after seeing that awful kipkay "hack" as he likes to call it, though in the process I managed to crack the...
