      Amazing bit of kit that. One of my kids is a professional welder I'd hate to think what he would do to get his grubby little fingers on a machine like that. Awesome, seriously. Be careful though! (I'm sure you are aware of the risks but it doesn't hurt to say it again...). What I love about laser welding is that you inject just enough heat into the workpiece to get this super nice consistency. First time I saw a laser weld I think was when I saw an open model of a stainless steel pacemaker and I wondered how the joint was welded so perfectly, it didn't look like here had been much in terms of cleaning up the joint. I have a 35W optical power laser head here for a cutter and that is already super impressive, what you have there is the equivalent of magic to me.
