ok, to make it easier for people to get info in the future, I'll start another thread here about eye protection for lasers cutting
I think everyone should know the laser can blind you instantly, worst case direct, but reflected or scattered beam can be just as bad.
I recenty bought a 50w 30cmx50cm Chinese machine.
There are no safety features on any of the panels that open !
That includes the tube panel, and the cutting area lid.
I double check the laser is powered down before opening anything.
With this in mind ... who has safety goggles ?
It's not mentioned in the manual, or on any forums I've read through so far ?
I don't get it ?
I've seen varying prices from £30 to £hundreds for the far infrared range laser spec of our machines
How do you know if the cheap ones work ? untill it's too late !
I thought about getting a pair, and seeing if I could cut paper, with the goggles between the beam and the paper ? would this prove anything ?
So, has anyone got any they use ?
How much and from where ?
any other views on this, please reply :)Last edited by Want2build1; 16-05-2014 at 04:28 PM.
