I saw a demonstration of this LASER when it was in the earliest stage of production ..it is an amazing machine , every repair shop should be outfitted with one.
I need one. I could throw all of my sandblasting cabinets and pots over the hill. No more huge mess to clean or air compressors running constantly. The convenience of this is a huge win too.
That is amazing! You have me thinking...🤔 Curious as to how much you can turn the laser gun sideways to orient the laser vertical and pointing it straight down?
What's the texture like post lasing? Curious what kind of prep work will be needed afterward, seems just by its nature it leaves a lot of lines behind but curious what would be the next step in painting the part.
So cool! Can watch this all night. For the sake of interest....and safety,could you put something like a sausage down and laser it? To simulate what could happen to a finger,all in the name science of course 😂

@8:33 u can see removing rubber off the tires side wall.. lol seems u have to watch your background.. but a very very useful tool for sure! Looks like several other marks on the tire lol
I’m just curious about all the lines and ribs it leaves behind. Are you going to sand those or just leave as is? They’ll definitely show in chassis paint later
-- At approximately 37:55... that's a Vulcan brand screw jack. It was made by Illinois Iron & Bolt Company which is what the "II & B Co" as cast into the body of the jack stands for. That company was founded back in the 1800s. If I'm not mistaken, the shaft OD is 1¼" and the height is 14"... but don't quote me on that, I might be in error. The jack itself also might have a letter size such as A, B, C, etc and might have been sold based on the letter. The holes at the top of the jack under the swivel plate are for a lever to fit into, that's how you turn the screw to expand or contract the length thus raising or lowering whatever object it is that you wish to move. Naturally, the levers are almost always long gone but you can use a lot of things as a lever. It also wasn't unusual to ditch the factory lever for a makeshift lever that was longer, for better leverage and ease of use. Yes, they're collectible but you probably killed some of the value of yours by lasering it. How much are they worth? Like any collectible, it entirely depends on the condition of the item - the more original they are in as close to "as-made" condition as can be, the more they're worth to collectors. The jacks will also be worth more as they get bigger in size. If I really wanted to price them out, I'd look on auction sites such as eBay or search that size and brand of jack as a collectible. There might be actual price guides on the WWW for them too. Anyway, as for the usefulness of those jacks, if they're in good shape then they're totally useful. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if that jack could lift 20,000 or more pounds of dead weight. For all I know, it was rated for far more than that! Of course it's only actually useful if you have a use for it though it can look cool sitting on a shelf in the house acting as a conversation piece. If it were mine, then I would: - Disassemble it. - Clean it all the way up. - Inspect the parts for any damage to see if the jack can be used. - Attempt to facilitate repairs if need be. - Plate the bare metal with nickel & cad. - Powdercoat or prime & paint it. - Reassemble it. - Put it in the house for safekeeping and potential use. - Max Giganteum
When you've de-rusted somethings it pays to wipe over with WD-40 or something to stop the surface rusting. You could try a couple of experiments to see what works best with this method. A lot of rust converters don't work quite as well as you'd want and you need a quick secondary method to back up the work you've done - I was thinking a few different things wiped on the frame and see how they look after a month or so could be interesting to see.
Those lines are because of the galvo head. There are two mirrors in the head controlled by servos bouncing the 1064nm fiber laser. Depending the speed of the galvo, power, frequency, and how fast you move the wand, will determine if you just remove rust or rust and start etching\engraving into the metal. Seeing the line engraving into the metal, says you are too hot and slow. You should be able to find the sweet spot that just removes the rust.
@@dwaynehicks7498- I do laser reviews on my CZcams channel. The most powerful fiber laser I have is a Omtech 100w MOPA. Which is 1/10 the power of this company’s lowest model. Mine is a bench top model, and it can remove rust as well, of course on a workbench instead 😂. This is an amazing piece of machinery. Definitely a lot of safety precautions are needed, always wear proper eye protection! I saw in the video that the safety glasses were etched with a specific wavelength, and looked to be CE certified. Also another must is proper ventilation, and a respirator. When removing rust, you are vaporizing metal, and all those metal particles are now airborne. Eyes and lungs!
@@CTmoog- No problem! I do laser reviews on my channel l. Same laser technology, just 1/10 the power of their lowest model 😂. Plus my highest power laser is a Omtech 100w MOPA Fiber, it is a bench top. More geared to etching and carving into metals for projects. Of course it can also remove rust. Given it is a wand, you are going to want to have more like the motion of a person laying paint with an air gun. Guess that is my best analogy. Very smooth, and consistent. I would definitely mess with power, and frequency, and wand motion speed on test parts. I would still prep the surface first. knock away any scale and wire brush\wheel it. Then air house, pressure wash, degrease, rinse, then dry. Basically the same prep work as if you were doing a rust converter. Then attack with the laser! Have fun! That is a laser I would definitely like in my gao👍
-- As I see it, parent metal loss is the downside of using laser tech for the purpose of rust and/or paint removal. Speaking of loss, it seems to me that a LOT of parent metal is being removed which is what you do NOT want! While the idea is to remove the rust, duh, losing solid metal becomes seriously problematic as you're weakening the part you're attempting to clean. Example? I would love to closely examine the driveshaft to see how much cratering there is - from what I could see, it looked like the surface of the moon. When it comes to body panels, eroded metal looks like hell and warpage is a serious concern due to heat buildup. Even if you avoid warpage, the panels will require Bondo to repair the metal loss where they shouldn't have any and wouldn't if traditional metal prep techniques were used. The moral of the story here is to dial down the power to the point where the rust comes off but the good metal is left alone 100% of the time. Ironically, I don't know of a single guy that's a traditional bodyman that uses laser tech - including the ones that can easily afford it. Why? They all agree (so far) that the loss of good metal isn't worth the use of a laser. That might change in the future but so far... they're all sticking with the tried and true methods. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds. - Max Giganteum
It works best on thin surface rust. If it's really bad you will have to do some prep work to know of the top layers. I'm still learning how to use it. You can adjust the power and frequency setting to achieve different results.
I know you are just trying the system out, but it seems to me that your work would be safer and benefit by having a worktable with shields around it to prevent the laser from striking objects (and maybe people) behind the object. I saw at one point in the vid where you were doing small parts laying on the frame and the laser cut into a tire behind the part, even though it was several feet further away. I believe you can buy laser shield films similar to those for welding areas.
Damn it, Mr. CT, where did you get yonur hands on that thing? It's outrageously expensive stuff.. Sure you remained speachless at the beginnning.. Hehe, I still prefer regular sandblasting for extensive projects, since I'm pretty sure sandblasting would be faster. Obviously you need a decent system to do that. I was really sceptic at the beginning, while I was searching for a decent system, but then I found it. I got a 5 cubic meters per minute compressor and a Mamut system with 7 mm nozzle, which is quite decent with a lot of settings and capabilities. It was an investment, but I'm planning on a "return" on the first project. =) Anyway the laser is way cleaner, faster for small parts, no setup at all (except plugging wires) and noiseless with no mess left around. Absolutely cool. How much power does it require? I think it's quite hungry.. Well, every system has it's own good and bad, but in any case it will save you a loooong time sanding and wirewheeling, that's for sure. Good luck, good work and keep 'em coming! 😉
That is some space age stuff! My original thought was dipping would get into things that were bolted or riveted together. The more I watched, I though with all the bushings and things that would have to be taken apart anyway I'd get it then since it is so fast! I would become addicted and forget to eat and have a $40k electric bill! lol I'm sure you know If that truck has a king pin front end in it drill it and insert grease points! My dad had a 72 and we had to replace those a few times with heat and a sledge hammer. A shop did it once, they told my dad never to bring it back!
Yes, I wish we had a good dipping place around here. That is the best option to get into all the areas. This laser is pretty cool and it works great on some things. Yes, those old king pins can be a real pain. Thanks man!
This tool could really open a lot of doors. One stop shop. Get your truck de rusted, tattoos removed, eye surgery, teeth whitening, heir removal and a game of laser tag. It’s limitless.
When you use the laser cleaning machine, please don't point the laser to wire harness and air hoses. Or you can use stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or fireproof cloth to cover the wire hardness to avoid burning
It's remarkable, good thing Rusty's still not around. ;-) It's way out of my price range, but it would have been handy when I was living and working on steel boats. Maybe if we bought 100 of them, focused them all on some tritium, we could start a sustained fusion reaction. I'm wondering about how much electricity it consumes.
Cool tool. CT, not to be critical, but when will you get back on the VW? I was following you through all of your body work and the other things you did on the VW, and then the work (or at least the filming) just stopped. Sorta like jumping around from the VW to the Porsche to the Ford truck, etc. But I never see a completed project. Thanks.
Thanks! Not bad. We have really good airflow. It was mostly just rust removal. I think if you are doing paint removal it would smell but you want to have open air space or a really good fume extractor.
Prefer shot blasting. It does a better job of removing heavy rust and scale, as well as keying up the surface for coating. I also like how it gets to all the nooks and crannies that a laser can't.
Wow, wonderful machine it would be nice if we could hire one to do our cars at home the price of $13699.00 is a little bit high for the do it yourself guys this looks like science-fiction when I first saw it on the Internet a few years ago but I live in the UK and I have seen Edd China to his Land Rover chassis with it exactly what I want to do, but it will have to wait till they become available for hiring at a reasonable price 😊👍
Yes, they are a bit pricey. Hopefully the prices will come down over time. Kind of like flat screen TVs did back in the day. Great to have around the shop if you can justify it. I would take your projects somewhere and have them sandblasted or chemical dipped for now.
After some research, the best ones, which have been around for a long time are in the plus million dollar range. Takes a good minute to find replacement lens at decent prices, remembering you get what you pay for ... you hope. Once on the market for a good bit, then the prices will go up like anything else we buy. I have been wondering just if mind you.... and this would be a real hoot, when those pesky flies and no see'ms come flying around ... just think if you could someway blast them also... let me know if that is just crazy or a possibility to do. The old misquotes would be on the run for once.
Its a great piece of kit, but $10000 is a bit steep. I love to remove rust, but only to the extent of $9500 less. Ill stick to sandpaper and discs amd sand blasting and rust remover. Could watch it for hours though. Its like ASMR for the eyes.

Yes, they are a bit pricey. Hopefully the prices will come down over time. Kind of like flat screen TVs did back in the day. Great to have around the shop if you can justify it. I would take your projects somewhere and have them sandblasted or chemical dipped for now.
After some research, the best ones, which have been around for a long time are in the plus million dollar range. Takes a good minute to find replacement lens at decent prices, remembering you get what you pay for ... you hope. Once on the market for a good bit, then the prices will go up like anything else we buy. I have been wondering just if mind you.... and this would be a real hoot, when those pesky flies and no see'ms come flying around ... just think if you could someway blast them also... let me know if that is just crazy or a possibility to do. The old misquotes would be on the run for once.
I wonder what it does to concrete oil stains
Good idea! I can try that in the next video! =)
@CTmoog I also wonder how much heat it will put into the concrete. Maybe it will start cracking and poping the c9ncrete too.
You might want to invest in the new product:
Frame Patch.
Cool old.truck
Keep your fingers and toes inside the vehicle at all times!!!
You are literally beaming up the rust.
(cue Star Trek theme)
Will it cook a sausage, I'd be interested in seeing what a finger shaped piece of meat would be like after it got in the way of the beam.
I'll try that this week and put it in the next video.
Its a great piece of kit, but $10000 is a bit steep. I love to remove rust, but only to the extent of $9500 less. Ill stick to sandpaper and discs amd sand blasting and rust remover. Could watch it for hours though. Its like ASMR for the eyes.
The rust can't repel firepower of that magnitude.
hahah! =)
I would like to watch the video of you finishing the Beetle car. thanks.
I'll be working on it soon. Need to install the glass and few other things. Can't wait to take it for another drive.
Is there a company that rents this machine.
Not that I know of.
Comprou um brinquedo então, esse é bom pra tirar ferrugem.
