Fast slag removal with air hammer!

Harbor freight air hammer and harbor freight air scraper chisel.

This totally reminds me of the “Silicon Valley” episode where the team is doing the math for the “mean jerk time”. // So I got this larger chisel and can do two holes at a time.

Hahaha. Loved that episode.

Why didn't you just adjust your parameters? What laser did you cut this on?

I need to get into air tools.

If that was cut by a laser company instead of you in your garage and they didn't clean their slag off that's egregiously bad. Nice welding table though..i run the night shift at a steel plant we run lasers and a coil line i cant fathom if a part came out of my warehouse like that. Gotta check your holes. Quality quality quality. What's worse is that part probably took an hour to cut being 3/8s with that many holes id assume its a36. so the operator stood there and did nothing. Didnt check his holes with hos finger. didnt even look at the cone or he would have noticed the dross lol...there is also no way those holes fell by themselves. Who cut it for ya?

The shop i work for does 99.9% all stainless steel. They cut this mild steel for me at a very reasonable price so i was willing to deal with the cleanup myself. They likely used the same setting they would use for 3/8” stainless to cut it. But i was cheap and they were willing so i wont complain.

@@chaunster so they are cutting with nitrogen that's what the edge looked like but was pretty quick pan over. I have cut all stainless with nitrogen my entire career. Which means they are using newer fiber lasers(which would have preset 3/8 hr parameters in its parameters log that are pretty accurate +- 10% speed right out of the box) or they are using older machines and I completely understand not making a new parameter for a customer that understands. However I'd still lose it on my operator if he didnt clean it up.Clean up will motivate you to learn parameter adjustments....or it won't lol. The creme rises to the top. I almost want to buy a laser that can go in my garage they make ones that "can cut 3/8" plate I have seen on KZbin but seeing as I can cut whatever I want anytime ever for no cost except for mat cost I don't want to pay for the divorce.

@@chaunster oh I misread that. You work at the shop also. I gotcha.

Grinder

[@chaunster]

If ran enough grinders to know this was way faster and didnt damage the surface like if i had used a hard disc grinder or burnt up a dozen flap discs
