My new RPL-450 w/3X beam expander, photos

Just got this little baby. Traded in my 225 plus some cash. We make stuff for spectra physics so I have a few handles from bar code readers. The expander came with an adapter ring. Due to the beam never coming out straight I devised a further adaptation using a piece of "line loc" little plastic pieces that snap together to make an air snake for cooling mill bits, etc. I cut, threaded and sliced finally holding the expander in damn near perfect alignment with a "barrel nut strap" a fancy hose clamp. This 450 sure heats up fast and uses the juice fast as well. Has 1-F power settings. I usually use about 5. And I can light a match at 100feet. That is a pain in the ass to do.

Good heavens! That thing looks like a freaken uber laser cannon with that grip mounted on it! Nice work!

Maybe some beam/dot shots when you get a chance?
