I saw that and would like to find out the manufacturer of that tool

John, here's another video. Might be JH Norton Co? Says about $6,000.

Not many cleaning things scare me, but this one does. Not about hurting the item, but getting my hand in front of it :D

Thanks for posting this. I found it very interesting but like Tom stated above it looks like it could be dangerous if not used properly.

I also wonder about health issues connected with using it? Like fumes, radiation, not to mention heat transfer to the metal itself? It doesn't appear to, but if it did it could temper the metal and make it brittle. Also if used in one spot and there is a heat transfer it could warp the item.

Looks like for 6k, I will continue to use the wire wheel

Yea, That would really hurt the cast iron budget. ;D

Cheryl Watson · « **Reply #8 on:** March 06, 2016, 12:30:56 PM »

I believe that the one shown in the video above is more like......

$275,000

That's a lot of pan cleaning, for other people, to reach the payoff point. :D ::) :'(

All joking aside, it looked to me like they might have been working on one of those sanding tables that creates a constant vacuum to suck up the dust. I wonder how much of a risk the fine particles are as they're blasted off. I'm guessing you'd need a welder's plug installed in order to use it, too. And was that a heat-resistant body suit he was modeling whilst he lasered away?[/size]

WOW. That is absolutely amazing. :o :o :o :o

I'll bet the Germans made that. They are some very smart people. So are the Japanese. If they would have had more money we would be speaking Japanese or German, or both.

NO TOM NEITZEL NO. Don't even think about it. My money says Tom will have one of these on a ninety day free trial before the week is out. ;D ;D ;D

It is German. As soon as Harbor Freight starts to carry them I may try. ;D

Adam, if I watched/listened correctly, there is a vacuum cleaner as part of the laser head so it grabs the dust as it works.

Made a pdf on how it works from a website. Interesting.

Mark Ritter · « **Reply #14 on:** March 06, 2016, 08:48:12 PM »

Thanks Tom for posting that pdf. Very interesting!!!

I don't see how it keeps from eating up the good metal. This reminds me of how they used to do it in the hospital when they put maggots into an open wound to clean it out. The maggots only eat the decayed flesh and will not eat the new. Some folks probably think I'm making this up, I ain't.

And Tom, I'm sure you're keeping your eye on Harbor Freight. This is just amazing. :o :o :o :o :o

Perry, they put Screw Worms in my cousin's leg to "clean" it up. Funny as his Grand Daddy spent thousands trying to keep worms out of his livestock or over 50 years! ;D
They count the larvae when put in the wound and count when removed as Screw Worms can be deadly to livestock and humans as well. The last human to die from Screw Worms infestation is buried in Utopia Texas.

Price wise, I stick with my ol' Sears & Roebuck charger or now ;D

I'm glad you're backin me up on this one Duke. :)

I would say with this technology it won't be too long before they will be making an electric razor like that so you can shave with it. :o :o :o

The cleaning of wounds with maggots doesn't use screw worm fly maggots. The maggots used are the blow fly maggots. They only eat dead tissue. The screw worm fly maggot only eats live tissue.

Perry, they are still using maggots in wounds in hospitals. Leeches, too. [smiley=2.gif]
