I am convinced you need Glasses for cutting. My collection is a 5mW, and a 50 mW ( tested to be within +/- 5 mW) green laser pointer and getting a red 200mW burning laser, which I won't start burning until I get proper glasses.
Now my question is how many here say you need glasses, yet will be using the wrong ones, or cheap ones, giving false security to the eye.
Now this can be more dangerous then not wearing any glasses, simply for the fact you think your safe, so don't take any care or worry if you get a reflection back to the eye.
At least wearing no glasses. Since you know if you get a reflection back into your eye you will try to avoid reflection back to the eye.
I had read not only do you have to have the right wave lenght, but right density also for the laser your using, so for basically each new laser you buy, the chances are you need an indivual pair of glasses, so it's not a stright forward afair.
You may be wearing laser glasses, but the wrong type and desnsty for that laser, and that is a false sense of safety which is even more dangerous.
Ok what pair do I accually need for a red 200mW laser pointer? And where are some good places to buy them?
I don't want a flase sense of security. I know on here there had been the odd recommendation, but how safe is that reommendation, and are you accually having a false sense of security as glasses alone don't mean your safe if they are the wrong ones?
And can bet here some are using the wrong ones without knowing it, even though you know you need glasses, you need the right ones which is a study all in itself also to make sure you get the right one for the job and not assume just because they are meant for red, or green lasers they are safe?
So think maybe there are some myths even when it comes to glasses, would I be correct?
