    How should I choose a burning laser?

    NO NO NO:thumbsdow:banghead: It is not safe to use a laser wearing welder's goggles; they offer no protection and only hinder your vision. You have to match the goggles to the wave length you want to cut; say for a 455nm laser you need goggles that cut out the 455nm wave length. Welder's...
