That was very generous of you RayFoss! I know O-like and their products have been highly regarded by many of us on the forum. Your products are of impeccable quality as well. Kudos! And I had to Rep you for this post.

Just as an update this laser has stopped working twice now due to connection problems. Each time I have been able to find the problem and correct. If you are planning on buying this laser be prepared and buy a set of mini screw-drivers. If I were not such an adventurous and knowledgable laser enthusiest this would have resulted in an RMA to the manufacturer. Power has been re-tested with a large quality IR filter and verified at 475mW average with peaks over 500mW. I still recommend this laser to anyone who wants lots of power for cheap. Not for those who are looking for a nice tight beam, comprehensive warranty or certification.

So the crystals have had it. They are dead. They put out around 70mW now and it isn't pretty. I have since removed everything down to the c-mount diode. This bad boy is a beast. I am guessing around 2 watt. It burns the hell out of everything including white paper. I am going to have to find a lens to focus this puppy. Suggestions? I am happy not all is lost but I am not happy that this laser lasted for such a short period of time. Now you all know about the quality of this laser.

I guess now I'm glad you didn't send it to me for testing, I would have hated for it to crap out while it was in my hands.
From your 1st review until it just died looks like 1 months time, have you contacted them about getting it repaired?
How much total operating time do you think it had on it?
With IR it doesn't take a heck of power to burn stuff, even 1 Watt of IR is going to be a real fire starter.

Yeah that would have sucked big time if it died in your hands. I have pretty much been using his laser everynight since I have owned it. So hours wise probably about 50. Not much considering the shape it is in now. I have not and do not plan on contacting them for repair as I have completely dismantled this laser. And destroyed all of the lenses and crystals and such. I have now turned it into a 2 watt burning machine. I used a small jewelers loop and harvested the lenses. The laser internally now is missing a bunch of parts but from the outside it looks the same. I set the burning focal point to 2 ft as that seems to be the sweet spot before it becomes a long thin line. I think that between green and IR green has more burning capabilities but maybe that is just the way it feels on the skin. 1 watt of green hurts big time immidiately.
