?? removal of molten material?? at second 13 we get a view of hte cut interface. Ouch! Fine for slabbing I suppose. There's always a critic! ;-)

Wonder how many Gigawatts for this LASER. They consume about 7 times their rated power. Require Oxygen assist as well so either a 02 concentrator or bottles. And a terible cut! One pace were oxyfuel still reins.

Most of the bigger ones at the shops around here seem to be 3000+ watts. This one might be in that range. It does make a nasty cut though. Waterjet might be alright, but that leaves a taper.
