Wow, ran across this for removing paint and rust. Completely out of my budget, but I thought it was interesting.

P-Laser is the product. P-Laser Industrial Laser Cleaning : degreasing, mould cleaning, anilox roller cleaning, selective paint stripping, removing oxide layers, car restauration

Here is a video showing some applications:

Yeah I saw that about five years ago. Pretty interesting. Haven't seen any places that seem to offer it wide spread. Seems to me would have caught on by now. Must be expensive equipment or something of that nature.

There are a few members here who priced them out for their businesses. Maybe they will chime in. I forget how much the systems were, but they were expensive! Hopefully one of those things that will cost $29.95 from Harbor Freight in a few years! What a game changer that would be.

Looking at around 500k for the 1000 watt model. Still pretty cool!
