IMPORTANT: Laser safety glasses SHOULD be tested with a laser power sensor to be deemed 100% SAFE. I have not done this with these glasses. Use at your own risk. Test with a power sensor to be 100% confident in any pair of laser safety glasses you own.
I just ordered a pair with your link. I was skeptical of this brand when I found on Amazon but after your video I am confident with the purchase. Thank you!
Interesting video. I just bought a used K40, and was looking for glasses. I have read that "simple" polycarbonate clear safety glasses work as well. Have you tried those? Thanks
No problem. These will hold you over, CO2 is pretty easy to block, but I've got an updated video coming out in the near-ish future that shows off some really high quality ones from a trusted manufacturer so keep an eye out for it.
Hey alex. Happy New years buddy. Quick question for you. Everyone talking about laser safety, but no one ever mentions or makes reccomendation to protect against scattered radiation. How are people protecting themselves against that?
Are these glasses safe to use for diode lasers as well? I don’t like the green tinted glasses I have because it distorts a lot, I need a clear and transparent alternative which can protect my eyes effectively.
No, unfortunately diode lasers are *visible light lasers* and as such - blocking the beam inherently means you're blocking part of the spectrum that you see in. For a list of eyewear we trust to protect your eyes against 455nm lasers check out our buying guide at lasereverything.net
Oof yeah I design optical filters! Gotta make sure you have something that blocks the right wavelength. And even then they can still do damage! Safety first!!!!
You really don't need to spend extra money on special laser goggles for CO2 beams. 10.6 micron deep IR light is blocked by many (not all) plastics natively and literally any $10 pair of normal clear polycarbonate safety glasses will work fine, see the 1993 paper "The Protective Characteristics of Polycarbonate Lenses Against CO2 Laser Radiation". In fact you may be able to get thicker lenses in common impact safety glasses that would provide longer protection against burnthrough than the thinner material specifically used in the goggles shown. I do wonder if you are aware that you are only a few miles away from the world's second largest and highest energy laser....

Just got myself a K40, so wanted some good glasses. This review really helped, thanks mate :)

Gotta be safe to play with lasers!!!
Time to go shopping!!!!!
Have fun!
I have laser cutting machine.. Now i wan check usage hours ..
how can i usage hours check?
I'm not sure what laser you're running so hard to say.
"shot through it like a laserbeam" 🤣
Imagine!
