welding Advice on Choosing a Handheld Laser Welder for Workshop Use

[raojames 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I’m looking into purchasing a handheld laser welder for use in my small metal fabrication workshop. Most of my projects involve stainless steel and mild steel parts, with occasional work on aluminum. I’m particularly interested in understanding the key factors to consider, such as:

 

• Recommended wattage for medium-thickness materials

• Cooling system types (air vs. water) and their maintenance needs

• Brand reliability and after-sales support

• Real-world efficiency compared to traditional MIG/TIG welding

 

If you have hands-on experience, I’d appreciate your insights on performance, operating costs, and any potential pitfalls to avoid when selecting a model.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!
