indeed :cool:

today someone was cutting slots in a piece of 12 ga sst, the programmer put in the wrong y axis into the laser cutter and the swing arm crashed into the chambers wall bending the head of the 5 kw laser burning a hole through the chambers wall then hit the water cooling system, as the ram head of the laser still pushing twords the dimension, there was water leaking onto the floor super charged with electricity. ran over to the laser cutter and the power cut off switch is near the consol by the cooling system where i couldnt get to. so he ran to the other end of the shop and cut the power. and if anyone knows gas lasers they dont just shut down like any piece of equipment, and it remained powerd for another 10 mins causeing fires internaly costing the corp thousands. what im trying to get at is alway check the programs code before you run it, people make mistakes and i swear it could cost you your life.

Thats why its important to let the tool do the work for you. the more pressure you add the more resistance there is between the metal and the wire wheel.

Make sure you use your gloves when bending steel with a 55 ton brake press with a fly wheel :)

Dodge: I love er70s-6 hardwire also, this new job I run 98% of the time e4043 alumumium wire, not much now because I pretty much run the fly press

My names Levi, im an AWS certified welder and have welded for about 10 years, I love steel and I love welding new ellimits. I did get tired of just welding day after day and learned how to run a laser cutter and break press. We call that flypress the thumb breaker. It
