Rust Removal Made Easy!

[Can I try?]

Wow! This is nothing short of amazing - using a high power laser to remove rust. My apologies if this has been discussed here before. It's news to me.

Here's just one video showing the system in action:

There are several other (probably better) videos available, too.

Here's the manufacturer website:

No mention of a price, so I'd guess it's probably a "If you have to ask you can't afford it" type of item.

Just searched for the price , it's about one gazillion bucks , well might as well be at $380000
I guess it might come down in time , not sure if I will be still alive at that point though

Good God...$380k? I want one and could certainly use it...but I couldn't possibly get $380k of use out of it...

5 gallon bucket and some vinegar, maybe $15 bucks total. Dropped some parts in Saturday afternoon and by Sunday at 10am 90% of the mill scale and rust was gone.

I spent 10 dollars on a cup wheel and end wheel. Does that count? I got 20 tools done in about 90 minutes, then polished with wd40

Check out my first garage project thread. It's all there.
