Thanks for the video!
I have looked at laser welders at Fabtech, and the one thing I noticed right off was the weight and size of the gun.
I noticed you were holding your part sometimes to try and accommodate for the gun size and weight correct?
Do you think this would work at all, for out of position welds?
I can see this having a place in the shop but not as a production welder, what do you think?
I look forward to the cutting side of it. Are there plans to mount on the plasma table?

Excellent video, Craig. I am very interested in the stainless steel aspect of this device. Please keep the videos coming. I would like it to weld an SS polished tubing about 1 inch in diameter. The hand unit looks hard to deal with for that type of work. I am patiently waitingâyouâre a born teacher, my brother.

First off, the gun weight isnât to bad. Itâs a bit more awkward to use than a MIG torch. The downward force needed to make the safety connection is not trivial. I think some of those laser welding video creators are circumventing their safety system.
Out of position welding is fine as long as your dragging. For production, I think the laser will be better. Its much faster, little operator training, consistency.
We have plans for CNC automation, more on this later.
Welding aluminum and SS will be upcoming videos. We did try a little aluminum and weâre not successful yet. Still figuring out stuff there.
The laser gun has a specific motion thatâs for sure. When youâre welding thereâs not that much going on, just your trigger finger pull in and keeping the gun tip in contact with the material.

I like it. Donât know that I could justify it, and at this point certainly canât afford it.

This is Old School Tool Day
Had to make a little testing box today. It has a TTGO T-Display-S3, SD card socket and 2 RS232 ports. I could have soldered everything but went old school, like 70s old school. I wire wrapped it. When I started with TTL electronics decades ago, this was standard practice. Works great BTW. You have to use 30ga âkynarâ wire, just strip, twist and youâre done. I did this so much that I have a dedicated 30ga kynar wire stripper, Erem 502. I was gifted a spool of kynar wire and a 502 at my second IBM co-op job 1986. Still have both.
Doubtful that any of you have wire wrapped something. Anyone? Maybe some you distinguished gentlemen have.

Never heard of it, and I can see the benefit.

LOL! Wire wrap! Man! I canât tell you how many thousands of pins Iâve wrapped in my day! This was the go-to technology before fast turnaround multilayer PCBs became available!
I even had a side business selling a post processor that post processed a popular schematic capture program to create Wire Wrap lists for commercial accounts. It was very popular in its day. We called it âWrapidâ.
Thanks for posting!

That surprises me that you would have a tool that I didnât have! 
NOT!!
