[Shop-talk] Laser Rust Removers- The future is here!

[eric at megageek.com]

Fellow gear-heads and ‘shop’aholics!  I wanted to follow up on the laser 
rust remover that I finally bought.
I found a vendor that youtubers had purchased from with good luck.  After 
asking them questions, they were happy to point me to their source.  
http://www.fortunelaser.com/
The first thing I found, was that this is a Chinese company and I was VERY 
hesitant to do business there.
I contacted their sales staff and found Jason, an amazingly patient and 
quite well-spoken rep that took time to promptly address all my questions. 
 I finally settled on the laser that seemed to be right for me.  At nearly 
$10,000 (with shipping) it wasn’t a casual purchase.  But I figured, hell, 
I’m not married, why not!  8>)
Then I found out that I must do a wire transfer to a Chinese bank and a PO 
to complete a purchase.  No credit card protection or anything like that. 
I was VERY concerned.
Then fate dealt me a small windfall and I decided that I would take a 
chance.  So I did the deal.  Then, when the laser finally arrived, it was 
damaged! (Clearing in shipping.)  However, Jason, worked with me 100%. 
First, hey sent me a new power supply, but when I put that in, there were 
other issues.  We tried local troubleshooting over email.  No joy.  It was 
decided that I would ship the unit back (at their cost) and they would 
send a new one.  Again, I was VERY concerned.  However, during every step 
of the way, Jason answered questions, gave me updates and did 100% of what 
he said he would.
So how does it work?  I don’t even know where to start.  It cleans 
ANYTHING.  Hell, I even tried it as a laser hair removal system on my arm 
(which it so far seems to work.)  It will take plating off base metals. 
Ink off off paper, paint off of metal, vaporize anything between the laser 
and surface.
Here are some videos of it from me…

The videos didn’t come out that well, and I’m not that experienced with 
it. There are tons of settings with it to control how much ‘removal’ you 
get. But it is super easy to try things as long as you can keep it at the 
right focal point.
If any of you are near NJ and want to come and try it out, just let me 
know.  There are many different types of lasers (pulse and continuous), 
power levels, 100W to 3000w, and some even can weld and cut also!  So 
there is a lot to learn about this new technology.
PLEASE read this next part carefully…
If you want to buy one for yourself (the prices are coming down) please 
feel free to contact Jason at  jason at fortunelaser.com  and tell him I sent 
you.  He will be more than happy to help.  I do not get ANY consideration 
if you do this.  HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable dealing oversees and 
making huge bank transfers to China, not to mention that you need to be a 
business or get hit with tariffs on their end. I will be more than happy 
to be an intermediary.  But I would charge a small percentage for my 
effort, time, and risk.
But feel free to ask me any questions, come over and try it out on your 
own projects, or contact Jason directly.
These lasers really are the future! 
Moose
