I just ordered the tool to end all tools. It's from Italy, but it's not a Lamborghini, although it costs like one. It's a laser that will deep engrave and actually cut titanium, and has a beam width of a strand of hair. It will be a highly awesome thing to mess with. The beam travels at 5000mm/ second! I've looked for such a thing for years on end and finally found what I was looking for. I'l likely keep my existing laser for wood type stuff. It's a month out, but I can't wait to play, I mean WORK with it. :smile:

when you have down time..

Bruce, 5000mm / sec is 5 metres / second. Is that the cut speed or the light beam speed? If it is the cut speed then that is a seriously cool bit of kit but if that's as fast as the Eyeties can get a light beam to travel then just get them to drop it off at my house and save you on the shipping to the States. Alternately, tell them to take it past the Hadron Collider (sp) for a bit of vroom vroom:biggrin:
 
Congrats Bruce!! That is one VERY serious bit of laser!!! LOL I'm with Charlie on this one!!

Geeze...what you will be able to do now!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Can I come and and watch you play...I mean work one day?? Promise not to leave too big of a puddle of drool!
 
I'll finally be able to do that geared pen that moves gears and levers around when the barrel is twisted to extend the point. It's going to be fun!

Don't you at least need to put a *gloat* disclaimer in this thread somewhere!?

I guess it's not longer an issue of pushing the envelope -- you'll just burn right through it.

Cha ching. It's in the six digits. My wife and I have a standing agreement. I actually have always wanted a Lamborghini but it's not too practical. It needs to be yellow and a Mercialago or whatever the newer models will be. She says I can get my Lamborghini when I can pay cash. Ain't going to happen any time soon, but I can only hold out hope. :tongue:

Here's a tip for you.. those "Take A Penny, Leave A Penny" things?
Some people even put paper money in them! Especially the ones with
the picture of Jerry Lewis on them..
 
It's a whole different playing field for those that afford those kinds of cars. I guess the baseball or acting skills just aren't up to par.

We have a Lamborghini dealership in a mall near by. They usually only have a couple on display, but they change out fairly often. The ones with price tags are about a quarter mil, and they don't tell you the price of the expensive ones unless you're buying them. It's the old "if you have to ask you can't afford it" thing.

In the same mall, directly across from the car dealership, is a piano store. They only have about six on display, and the most expensive one I saw there was $450,000.00; more money than the car!

Both stores do quite well.

So where the *&^*% did I go wrong?!
