Laser needed to burn/melt zip ties

[dragonizer]

I need a laser to burn/melt zip ties from about 2 feet. color doesn't matter. any specific models? I want a product that does what i need it to out of the box.:thanks:

Some other member's posts compiled:

1. Introduce yourself in the welcome section first.

2. Do research yourself first. Ask only if you cannot find. (I admit I was guilty of this once )

3. If you are up to no good, have fun helping yourself.

A few of my own comments:

1. Your post don't seemed like you have done any research.
- You need safety glasses.
- If you say colour doesn't matter you are VERY wrong. Different wavelengths perform differently for different tasks.

2. When working with lasers, safety of others and yourself is important, and is the first priority.

3. A laser is not a toy or a tool. It is a WEAPON.

Sounds like another one trying to hack at those game machines. There is practically no other reason you'd need to cut a ziptie at 2 feet using a laser.

PS: Most of them have locked doors or even alarms that activate if it detects something has fallen, yet the game has not been won.

Haha BUSTED. Nice one.

Hope that helped (NOT YOU, But the community),

People actually used lasers to cut zip ties in arcade machines? How lazy and douchey are people these days?

And the funny thing is those games generally don't have name-brand merchandise prizes in them anyway. Just Chinese knockoffs that look very close to the packaging.

Instead of a Sony Play-Station-Portable, in the extremely unlikely chance you win, you get this instead: JXD-S5110b 5" Capacitive Screen Dual Core Android 4.1 Tablet / Smart Game Console w/ Wi-Fi - Black - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

Hard to tell, but they ask about it all the time ..

Absolutely ridiculous... people who do that deserve to their hands locked into the machine when they try to grab the prize and the doors lock :scowl:

They should do that, have wrist clamps or some sort of handcuffs or a larger version of chinese finger traps so if you try to steal, you aint getting away

Oh god^! Or use clear zip ties

I haven't seen clear zip ties. White is the natural color of nylon used for making zip ties.

Should be white and a bit translucent. But you can always dye it.
