6x laser cuts a wood match at 190 mA

I was wondered my SF-AW210 build can cut wood match!

We have no idea what you built.... It depends on many factors...
How about some pictures of your build...
And I would think that 190ma is far to0 low a current to be cutting wood...

BTW....

Hmm, tried it with one of my violet builds, after about a minute i gave up. It did make a
nice notch thou

It takes about 1 min and 30 secs for me

Just tried this with my SF-AW210 set at 180mA and O-like glass lens. It was fairly easy, took about 1 minute. Maybe different types of matches would make some difference.:thinking:

There are 3 AAA batteries and boost driver inside.

And I would think that 190ma is far to0 low a current to be cutting wood...

But you see in video 190ma is enough! And lazerov did it too.

Thanks!

That looks like a hefty build... nice...

I must admit I have never burnt though a match with 405nm...
so I have no reason to doubt you...

Your 1st post looked like it was a question... if your SF-AW210 build can cut wood
like in the video you linked to...

No. I just was wondered of performance of my blue-ray laser

 

[lasersbee]

You know the performance..... It cuts wood...

If you meant your Laser's output power... then you
would need to test it on a Laser Power Meter..

It is not possible to get Laser Power Meter here but I think the power is over 190 mw (as shown in this forum topic: http://laserpointerforums.com/f38/new-high-power-blu-ray-sled-sf-aw210-graph-20056.html)

Nice build! I like the russian laser warning labels! I'd love to have some!

Text in my label is "ОПАСНО! Лазерное излучение <*** мВт" (DANGER! Laser radiation < *** mw), but "ОПАСНО! Лазерное излучение <*** мВт, 405 нм. Не допускать прямого попадания в глаза!" (DANGER! Laser radiation <*** mw, 405nm. Avoid direct eye exposure!) is more correct, I think
;-D

Cool, thanks! I'll load my Helvetica Cyrillic font on my system!
