Re: Laser rust removal
If some of the replies are accurate, the cheapest one is $7K. The one shown is 6 figures. I doubt that my local Sears Hardware will have one for a while.

Re: Laser rust removal
It's going to be out of the consumer and small shop price range at any rate. If that portable unit was under 20K a shop could pretty easily make it pay for it's self and then some.
I think this is the one in the http://www.adapt-laser.com/ourproducts.php?id=21

Re: Laser rust removal
There are units on the 'net for 27k that could do the job. They're not as powerful as what's in that video but the price isn't not out of the reach of many shops. But it's China made no-name stuff so quality is questionable. Then again, seems like most everything is China made these days.
