thanks for bumping this bud, very informative thread so far.

who doesnt love a mystery? welcome to the forum and do you think you could post some pictures or the mysterious device?

Will do.

I forget which type of pcb he was looking at but it was a specific material most efficiently dealt with by use of UV.

Welcome aboard! Lots of info to be had here. Enjoy it! I like i here alot because everyone gets along as friends and for the most part things are pretty informal and relaxed. see you around! Tschüss, Hanz

hey no sweat bro

Check out local welding and gas supply shops for exotic gasses lots of times you can find liquid nitrogen at those places. Thanks for the tips guys, i dont know if that will be a viable option for sustainted pcb cutting sessions but i will pass the info along.

Hey guys. I am back after extended hiatus. I don't have a lot of posts or a lot of lasers, but i do have a 500mw red and a 1200mw blue i got from survival when they were still selling complete units to the USA. they are still running great too! since then i have picked up a couple of cheap...

personally i would put a switch between the power leads and the module. this offers more control, and though a laser in that range isn't going to get hot fast, i started observing strict duty cycles and safety protocol on my first green laser, before i moved up to the higher power ones. also...

Re: the lowest power laser can kill the Mosquito pick up a can of circuit chiller. Will flash freeze the offending hornet and not leave any residue on your electronics.
