Last night I was algning my new 100mW laser module with my computer controlled scanner... made this vid BTW.

Anyway,
the laser is almost TOO bright to even use with the scanner,
even though the beam widens a good bit and defuses, you still dont want it hitting you in the face alot.
I couldnt bare to look at the scanners at ALL while trying to align the laser.
And I havent picked out a pair of laser goggles yet,
so, I used a pair of my welding goggles.
They did a great job of blocking the laser, at least to my eyes, it seemed to be doing well.
And I could easily align the laser, being able to see the actual dot, and mirrors.
But, are these safe to use?
Just cuz the dot was nice and dim to my eyes, and easy to look at, does that mean thats its safe?
thanks
