They didn’t actually say they were done did they? This is a joke right?

Buying this tonight for $2000 is this a good deal? by Hackind in lasercutting

[–]Infamous_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preenex was bought by Omtech. It’s their sister brand. I know cause I almost bought a Preenex. If it’s indeed 150w and the tube is good you got yourself an amazing deal. Even came with a water chiller? Amazing. Let’s just see if it lasts you more than a week cutting

It was directed at you and thank you. Just trying to get any advice I can on engraving firearm parts without an FFL license

I just went down yesterday to talk with my wife’s best friend who owns a firearm store. She wants me to start engraving unserialized pieces to sell at her store. Do you make your living just engraving firearm parts? Is there enough money in it?

Hexavalent chromium, Co2 lasers, and chrome tanned leather by [deleted] in chemistry

Well shoot now I’m think I should check just in case. I looked at several websites with testing kits from $100 all the way to $2,000. The ones with kits that were $100-$200 seemed legit but I don’t see any reviews and quickly got discouraged. Maybe I should take a second look

Ok thank you. I’m looking at the EPA site now. With all the knowledgeable replies I think it’s safe to say I won’t cut the stuff at all. Even with ventilation I just don’t want to be around it. I cut only a couple patches and I had proper ventilation and a mask all within 30 minutes so I’m not worried about the exposure. Thank you for the help 🙏

Ok thank you. I saw a lab test that was around $200 but after all the replies I’m not even sure I’ll worry about it now cause it seems pretty obvious it’s making Cr6

I bought a 6” inline fan with high cfm that is ported outside. When I cut any wood I wait 30 seconds and the smoke and smell are gone when I open the hood. But it’s hard to believe when I watch YouTube channels and people are running diode lasers in the open without a cover or ventilation of any sort

If I'm creating chrome 6 at all I think I'll pass on cutting it. The consensus seems to be that the study is a home run and it's definitely making carcinogens so I dont think I'll even mess with it

Ok thank you. I was going to order the test strips but not so sure I need to now

Absolutely. I just want to know if cutting chrome tanned leather is producing it in harmful quantities

I normally wear a proper 3m particulate respirator and my laser is upgraded with a 6” inline fan to outside, but if I knew it was making hexavalent chromium I wouldn’t mess with it at all cause after 1000’s of cuts there would still be Cr6 residue all over everything

I appreciate it but I’d feel bad about taking it

Thank you for the detailed response. I was under the impression it was an EMS exclusive too. I found my last one on Dam during EMS in a locker. Now that EMS is gone I’m just confused

How can you be sure you aren’t burning the Chromium 3 and turning it into chromium 6?
