I have seen many advertisements on the social media about the new "miracle" laser welders that can also remove rust as well as weld easily.
Whilst I can MIG, TIG and gas weld well, I am intrigued by the rust removal process.
Have any of you enthusiasts had any experience with any of these Laser type machines, if so I would be greatful for any comments.
Happy Miles.
Bryan.

Have seen those ads too ... pal of mine has a proper pro laser welder and it is an amazing thing ... however it takes skill to use, is really dangerous if not used properly and very expensive .... the one's on social media strike me as too good to be true.

A work colleague of mine never lost his tools. He was a helicoptor service technician with the RAF. When he had finished the work he always checked his tools as, often, the pilot would come to test fly and invite him along. As he said, concentrates the mind somewhat.

I have the same type of problem and it maybe as in my case old age or ' automatic pilot syndrome', where the brain switches off when you are doing repetitive tasks eg how many times do you go into the kitchen to make brew and then when you get there you can't think why you went in there.

I have a further problem, its called Sue and no matter where I put something down its always in the wrong place and moved without telling me. Strangely it never applies to anything she puts down, even when we both know it's in the wrong place
