Your laser operator has to know how to set it up correctly to get a clean cut but it is much more efficient and expidious than other methods. The power supply nor the tube took up anywhere near 50 x 50 and we could cut 1" thick carbon steel them. The unit holding the resonator and other equipment was about 15' long, 8' high, and 3' wide.
Really? I'll have to have our MR&D folks look into upgrading theirs.
