I'd love to get one of these to use as a side business. Living in Iowa, there's probably craploads of stuff here that's rusted, so I think there's a good market. Unfortunately, the cost is... prohibitive for someone like me. I'm autistic, so working part time and getting disability checks won't me get one of these anytime soon. I do work on motorcycles as a side hobby (primarily old ones, current project is a 1977 BMW R100S), and one of these would be amazing for cleaning up rust, aluminum oxidation, and removing paint.

Oxidation, absolutely. Mill scale, I’m not too sure. Slightly different situation, but when I showed the scaled rusty frame example, the rust was removed from the surface of the scales, but when I scraped them off, there was still rust underneath. I would contact Fortune Laser and see if they have a machine that might remove the mill scale. Maybe they have a continuous wave machine that can do this? I have a small blasting cabinet that I’m considering getting rid of but still might use it for smaller heavily scaled rusty parts like control arms, knuckles etc.

If anyone is looking to clean a large area, you will need more than 200w pulse. It will take some time.. I have used a 100w laser, and the 200w cuts the time in half but still quite some time. You would need bigger than 500 in my opinion.

@6thGearGarage Ай бұрын

For large areas I would recommend a CW laser. The max width if the machine in this video is 50mm. Next I am getting a 2000w CW machine with a width of 800mm. Large jobs will take a fraction of the time.

It might get through some of the lighter scaling eventually. Anything to knock the scale off first will allow the laser cleaner to throughly clean the surface beneath. You could use a needle scaler, wire brush, or even a metal scraper.

Are you making any money with your laser or do you just use it in your own projects?

@6thGearGarage 7 ай бұрын

I’ve only used it for my own projects so far. If I get some spare time I might try to do some side jobs with it.

😊Great bemo, My friend purchased a 200w pulse laser machine and didn't get any settings for it, would it be possible to get the settings from you for the different types of materials if it's not too much trouble. We would really appreciate it as we are starting a new laser cleaning service. I live in Ireland so I'm not in opposition to you 😊. Regards Michael O Shea

Why does it come with a 110 plug if it needs 220?

@6thGearGarage 7 ай бұрын

I'm guessing because most of the world only uses 220, while North America uses 110 and 220, and they ship these world wide.

@cowee2012 6 ай бұрын

This might sound dumb but I need to know this before I buy one. Does it plug into a regular outlet? Like a home outlet?

@6thGearGarage 6 ай бұрын

@@cowee2012 No, it uses 220v (which is normal for the majority of the world) Here in North America, 110v is a normal house outlet. While the plug on the end of the power cord of the machine was the 110v style, it wold have probably caused damage if I plugged it into a regular 110v outlet. So I bought an adapter to convert the 110 plug to a plug that fits my 220v outlet. I would ask them if they can make a 110v version though. It may be possible because these pulsed machines are only 100w and 200w machines. They don't draw a ton of power like the 1000/1500/2000w continuous wave machines do.

Don't hold your hopes up too much. It's in part thanks to 3D printing... sorry, _additive manufacturing,_ that the prices of industrial lasers have come down tremendously. 200 watt is a nice laser output power for an entry level powder bed selective laser melting (SLM) metal printer. Both types of devices benefit already from large drops in laser cost.

BEWARE KZbinrs of these cheap cleaning lasers! (not ALL Chinese lasers are bad, but do your homework)...most of these thing are 'toys" 1. Avoid anything with a Raycus laser diode (they are getting better, but there is a reason why they are so cheap...most won't last a year...) 2. Don't get a unit that cleans AND welds (they do neither well) 3. Get a unit with USA tech support (from a dealer....avoid Amazon/Alibaba, or you WILL be sorry) 4. Get a unit that has a chiller for the diode (for a continuous wave laser like the one in this video)...pulse wave up to 300w is ok without 5. Make sure the head has an air blade (keeps the protective lenses cleaner much longer/ extends optics life) 6. Continuous Wave lasers are usually the way to go (unless doing thin material/ Aluminum / heat treat scale)....then go to a pulse laser 7. Don't use they eyewear that comes with the laser cleaner (they are always OD 5...should be at least OD 7+ @ 1.0 - 1.1 nm range wavelength) 8. Don't use welding goggles as eyewear (totally different wavelength...won't protect eyes at all) 9. Bescutter is probably the best entry level cleaning laser / bang for the buck...has a 2 year on sight service warranty 10. If USA made cleaning lasers are in your budget I'd recommend Laser Marking Technologies (1/2 the price of the big boys with better core and optics) 11. Ask for references....folks who have been using them for a while will be glad to share the good, the bad and the ugly

@6thGearGarage 6 ай бұрын

You have many good points that I agree with 100% - I'm skipping over those to keep this shorter. I disagree with #3 though. Fortune Laser is based in China, yet their customer support has been incredible. #4. The machine in this video is an air cooled Pulsed laser, not continuous. I think all continuous wave machines are liquid cooled... and yes, definitely avoid any that are not. #6. It really depends on the type of cleaning you'll do. CW machines tend to etch/overheat the surface to a point where the surface is no longer smooth. Great for larger steel items where surface appearance does not matter. I feel pulsed is superior because it's usable on much more. Ideally, owning both machines would be the perfect scenario. #7. The protective eyewear that came with my machine was correct. I'd question the integrity of any company including the wrong eyewear, as that's very important. #9 I looked up Bescutter and it's hard to justify their $57,000 200w machine at 6.5x the cost of this one... but if you're a corporation and can afford such an expensive machine then more power to you. I don't think that's feasible as a small business owner or hobbyist. I think prices will continue to drop as more companies continue to manufacture these machines.
