Now we can cut nails with 445nm lasers :D

I see a definite medical use here. Treatment of ingrown nails. instead of yanking them, cut them with a laser!

What are they using now for toe nail fungus?
I guess 405.

It's Wayne, Photonaholic. I respectfuly disagree with him, though.
If you want to burn stuff, get 445nm laser. And all other colors too.

"Why burn up hydrocarbons when you have 400mw+ of blu ray?

Thank you gentlemen for your sig knowledge. At least I was right with the words if not the author, and they sort of say similar things. [A courteous bow from me]

Pretty nasty looking. I wouldn't purposefully do that to the skin. Possibly inducing a sarcoma?

Dont ya mean burn the hell out of? LOL im sticking with clippers

 

[Benm]

Seems like an unpractical and smelly way to clip nails...

And disappointing, from the title of the post i figured you meant nails - the kind that you hammer into wood.

 

[godmonkey]

i thought that too, i was sure he wsa talking about the metal kind of nails and i was a bit disapointed when it wasn't. The shower of sparks would've been pretty...

Ya burning metal nails would have been far better. Btw if you get the overwhelming urge to burn your fingernails I'd suggest using nail clippings instead of putting one's finger that
much in harm's way. Also may I suggest using a magnifying glass in sunlight or those novelty plasma balls.

Ya know when I saw this, I fully expected to see an IRON nail in a board being cut by a laser. TOTAL LET DOWN.

 

[Eudaimonium]

Hahaha, I knew somebody would say that sooner or later.
Is there any other expresion for fingernails in english?

ReNNo, should change thread title... or don't, it'll be more fun for those who haven't seen the thread yet!

 

[psi seeker 34]

Now I know what to do when I get a Co2 laser. I'm going to make a video showing it cutting through metal nails. :umbrella: On another note leave the thread title the same because the irony is hilarious. :crackup:

I was bored once and put my 445nm to infinity, pointed it at a leg hair and found it was cool that it instantly was chopped in half. Then 10 secs later the smell hit me... Ack!!

Can't nail burning possibly burn the under-skin below the nail? I can just see people watching that video, seeing black on your nail, and going "I'm going to tattoo my nail and tell people I did it my self with a laser!" Or did I speak too soon? =D

Well actually as soon as the nail gets charred by the burning , no light will go though it... right?
Besides, why worried, if it hurts like hell ReNNo would not do it a thousand times by now

Hey ReNNo did the smell vent out by now?
