Nonsense post - plasma cutter

[DTJ]

I found this kind of interesting.

It's labelled as a laser cutter but I'm sure its a plasma cutter assembly.

No, that looks like a laser to me.  No visible beam.  A plasma cutter in my experience would be positioned with the nose almost touching whatever they were cutting, and there'd be a visible stream of plasma emerging from the tip like a little flame.

That being said....  WANT!!!!!

Yeah, you guys are correct. After looking again it is indeed a laser.

As its for cutting up contaminated / radioactive materials, I wonder what sort of contamination vapors it put into the air when cutting.

That being said....  WANT!!!!!
