Saw this thing weld some steel and the weld was pretty strong… was curious if it could be used as a blacksmithing tool?
2000 watt laser tool, could it be usable in blacksmithing?

I would think hammering hot metal on top of it would damage it in some way.
You use this part to weld anon
yeah i definitely wouldn't hammer anything on that. you'd probably be better off using the box on wheels.
I dunno the back end of it looks like an okay hammer
idk looks like plastic to me. hammering hot metal on plastic is generally frowned upon in the blacksmithing community, though there have been renegades in the past who insisted upon it.
Funny, now are you morons gonna answer the question now?
no.
one of PrepHole's resident Helpful Boomers is bound to be along eventually. they can't resist answering a question no matter how stupid it is. it gives them a chance to show everyone else how smart they are.
you're best off waiting for one of them.
All the Helpful Boomers only help in good threads, not moron threads spurred on by homosexual youtubers.
>All the Helpful Boomers only help in good threads, not moron threads
You keep saying that but don't explain how it's moronic
Either your moronic yourself and can't explain why it's a bad idea or full of shit
In any case I invite you to dinally contribute something useful to society and have a nice day
*finally
Fricking mobile
Nice try homosexual
Stop pretending like you didnt immediately make this thread after watching.
Video is only 8 days old with 1.8m views and 100% clickbait title.
Dont worry, I wont link it here because he doesnt deserve the views.
Ill let you post it
I'm not the OP, just someone who now wants to watch the video that has you so assmad!
It was Mr Beasts most recent video. Not sure why everyone is all up in arms about it.
>Nice try homosexual
So your full of shit then?
Also I don’t give a frick about the backyard scientists vid alright I give a shot about whether this could be useful in blacksmithing
*shit

It can only melt an area large enough to weld, blacksmithing usually requires the whole piece to be red hot. I'm not sure what you have in mind.
Welding handles and pommels to swords… although I can see where your getting at with the red hot thing
And thank you for answering the fricking question unlike 90%of the rest of the fricking thread
It would probably work for that, I thought you meant trying to forge a sword or something a tiny bit at a time, lol. For the price though, you'd probably be better off getting a tig welder and learning that.
Figures
What about filing/grinding down the blade to sharpen it? Should atleast be slightly better than doing it by hand right?
>What about filing/grinding down the blade to sharpen it?
this is called a Grindstone and you'll find almost all smiths using one.
I know what a grindstone is I’m just wondering if this can be used in place of one?
>I know what a grindstone is I’m just wondering if this can be used in place of one?
Erm, that's kind of like asking if a saw can be used in place of a hammer.
its really not designed for the job you're thinking of doing.
Son, back in the day we had Mike Hammer. He was such a Chad.
Then came MC Hammer and ruined everything. Oh well what were we talking hmm.
>those wires coming out held on by a thin metal strip that could easily damage the wires over time from constant motion and flexing or the metal strip could break off providing 0 support for the wires where they eventually get pulled out of the handle and are fricked and your $10k machine is now useless
got to love chink engineering
We all saw the moronic clickbait youtuber anon.
Which clickbait youtuber featured this amazing lazer welding machine? Because i must have missed it.
>laser
I'm far more interested in small scale induction welding. Or stir welding.
>blacksmithing
What planet are you from?
C'mon your acting like welding ain't a useful thing to be able to do
Plus "laser-sharp halberd" is an awesome sounding project and you know it
*ain't a useful thing to be able to do blacksmithing wise
bump for my favorite youtuber
I’m just bumping to get an answer to
How much power do you put in to get 2kW out of that baby?
