Re: I'm New here

Peter:

Very good point you raise here. I am very aware of the reflected beam
that can arise with lasers and will do my best to encase the table while
the laser is on and/or working. Anyone who comes near the machine while
the laser is on will be required to wear special glasses as well. Also
the machine will have it's own room for working that has only one window
and a lockable door.

Thanks very much for mentioning it to me.
