Soooo cool
How does that not bounce around everywhere?
very cool, thanks for sharing
it be a cool micro hand torch.. too bad its a giant co2 laser
A light saber style torch would be sick!
A geeky friend has been bugging me to make laser rigs. Instead of torches heating ti, a laser

I think that's what the brick under it is for. As far as I know length isn't adjustable on normal lasers. I've had lengthy discussions about making rigs with lasers attached. We talked about having something catch the lazer when the domless is removed. I know you an adjust heat, width. Not sure about length though.

Whoa! That is freaking awesome!
Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank.

Focal length is controllable on CO2 lasers.
Is it cool? Yeah, it is. Is it practical? For 99% of stuff, I'm not too sure. It seems like technology for technology's sake, rather than to fulfill a real need.
It strikes me as a little like buying a Segway to go 100 feet across the street to your neighbor's house. Yeah, the Segway is cool. But just walking over there is a lot cheaper and easier. It's hard to see anything in the video that couldn't be done just as easily - and a lot cheaper - using a torch.
Yeah but I believe that opens the possibility to make objects in zero gravity.
I've seen instructables on using the laser out of an old DVD burner to make a paper laser cutter. Maybe you can focus it well enough to heat up the end of your nail?
Like this? http://science1.nasa.gov/science-new...apr_zeroglass/

awesome link thanks menty

that second video they cut the tube have it a perfect polished opening and then seal it back together in about a minute pretty impressive.
i imagine it would be used for the same reason they use lasers for welding aerospace stuff, theres a 0% margin for error if its something that has the potential to be extremely hazardous/expensive if it fails. a regular beaker like that it does seem ridiculously over complicated, but also the technology has to start somewhere. for those glass tubes that pipe liquid sodium i would rather trust a cnc laser lathe with a built in x-ray or whatever it is to make sure its a perfect weld.
i imagine the heat is extremely focused compared to a torch. resulting in a thin heat affected area?

im sure we could put together a short co2 laser or a diode laser with a focus lens in a hand held version or a torch mounted version where you could use a beam spreader to have a larger heating area...
Very cool! I am currently building a dual moving chuck, CNC Glass lathe sized similar to my Litton F Lathe. The Litton is just too slow in moving parts in and out. Nice machine, but I need 10-15 units to get the production requirements. Will mostly be making vials and inserts from borosilicate tubing. I also have 2 of the Keyence micrometers show in the video. Very well made stuff from both companies. Thanks for posting Trevor. Was curious if anyone had done a dual moving chuck before?
