Everything to know about 200w Pulsed Laser Cleaning Machine by Fortune Laser
Today I’m answering every question about the 200 Watt pulsed laser cleaning machine by Fortune Laser.
First I’ll go over the advantages of pulsed vs continuous wave machines.
I’ll also do a demonstration and show you how well it cleans rust, paint, grease and more, as well as some tips to keep it working efficiently.
Last, we’ll talk about pricing.
Fortune Laser provides different laser machines with different laser power and price ranges. Below is the FL-C200 I reviewed:

I didn't know such machines existed. Thanks for demonstrating how it all works so clearly.
Thanks for watching! I think they will become more common in the future.
@@6thGearGarageAs is almost always the case when something is effective as you showed this to be. What's the saying? "The cats out of the bag"!
I'm waiting a few years until Dollar King are selling them for $100.
And they weld too.
😂, me too.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with me and the community. This was one of my favorite episodes.
Glad you enjoyed it! You’ll be seeing this machine in a lot of my videos. It saves so much time!
This thing is super cool!
Interesting, thanks for the review.
You bet
I follow a military vehicle restore channel , based here in the UK , I wish they'd buy one of these things , instead of pissing about with hydro blasting , chemicals and needle guns when removing paint and rust from small vehicles like cheiften tanks ect. A job that would take days , could be done in hours.
Not cheap, but they do pay for themselves pretty quickly in time saved.
Thats a fancy dancy tool!
I want one of these - so bad! I can't justify that much for my personal use, but it doesn't stop me dreaming. Excellent explanation too! That answered questions I didn't know I had.
If I wasn't able to write it off for business, I would have gone with one of the lower priced models :)
I would buy one if I could think of some side hustle that I could use it on to help pay for it
I'm considering a similar unit for my metal fab shop. Is it good at removing mill scale and oxidation from welding/cutting? Also, will I be able to forgo a sand blasting cabinet with this unit?
Oxidation, absolutely. Mill scale, I’m not too sure. Slightly different situation, but when I showed the scaled rusty frame example, the rust was removed from the surface of the scales, but when I scraped them off, there was still rust underneath. I would contact Fortune Laser and see if they have a machine that might remove the mill scale. Maybe they have a continuous wave machine that can do this? I have a small blasting cabinet that I’m considering getting rid of but still might use it for smaller heavily scaled rusty parts like control arms, knuckles etc.
great demo....holy shit 9 thousand bucks....not in a 9 thousand years
Thanks! Also, they have less expensive ones too.
Man you have no clue how much money you could drum up in business and how many different jobs you could do with this thing. This is the future of cleaning so if you invest 10 grand and get your ass up you can pay it off in a month
@@JC-bx3bg yeah fuck all that
@JC-bx3bg yeah, and have the government that regulates everything receive a bunch of taxes off the purchase of this machine and the business it creates? I'm with the previous commenter on this one. Besides, the people stealing our money and ambitions have no problem making more slaves from people who purchase on credit so let them hire the guy with the wire brush and continue to lecture us about saving the planet from all their manufactured pollution and war games. Done.
Awesome video. Can i ask.... Do you know? Will this clean masonry, driveways/statue's?
Yes it absolutely will, although it would take a very long time to clean a driveway with this particular machine.
@@6thGearGarage Dude thanks for getting back. Really appreciated. And yes. It would be time consuming for sure. But I keep thinking you could get a shed load done in an hour. The video I witnessed was from overspill of rust removal. The concrete literally went "BING" in seconds.... Thanks again. Interesting stuff....
@@returntochrist777 A continuous wave machine would be much faster for larger areas like a driveway.
@6yeargarage What is the training needed to be able to use one of this machines? Thanks!! 😊
No training is really needed, it is very simple to learn to use after reading the instruction manual. Understanding the parameters and modes helps as well.
One question: what's the expected service life of the laser itself? When these type of devices came onto the scene a few ago (with continuous laser, I assume) the laser would gave, say, a 5000 hour service life before needing replacement. Pulsed and lower power likely will have remedied this.
That's a great question and I'm unsure of the answer. Keeping the machine clean is the best thing to extend its service life.
😊Great bemo, My friend purchased a 200w pulse laser machine and didn't get any settings for it, would it be possible to get the settings from you for the different types of materials if it's not too much trouble. We would really appreciate it as we are starting a new laser cleaning service. I live in Ireland so I'm not in opposition to you 😊. Regards Michael O Shea
Sure, what is a good email to send them to?
I think for a similar price you can get the one that welds as well
Actually a lot cheaper! I initially looked at the 3-in-1 welder/cutting/cleaning machine, which was about $3k cheaper. It's a continuous wave laser though, so the cleaning isn't as good for certain surfaces. I already have a mig welder, so I really needed a machine to do cleaning.
Does a great job on aluminum....looks like new and its so hard to get that way....and my truck has to be white....
The aluminum is the most fun to clean because of such a huge difference in the before/after.
Would this work to remove powder coating from alloy wheels? Would the next size down be enough for just wheels?
@@tukn22inch It would absolutely remove powder coating. Gloss white will take a little longer than other colors. Black will remove the easiest. A 100w machine should be similar to the 200w machine, it will just take more time to clean due to less power.
good job, is there 300W 750W 1000W available？
Thanks, They have a 100, 200 and 300w pulsed machine. I think I might have seen a 500w too. Their continuous wave machines start at 1000w.
Do you still need one set laser cleaning machine, sir? This is Jolene from TIPTOP laser. Always serving in the laser cleaning industry, paint, rust, stain and others attached to different materials can be washed away with laser. Do i have a chance to talk with u? believe our price will appeal to you. )))
will it remove slag from stick wellding?
I have not tried it personally, but I read that it can.
that would be a big time saver
yes
Hey dude, good presentation, could you please send me the contact information for your supplier. Well done.
Thanks! You can email Jason at jason@fortunelaser.com. I also have his WhatsApp, if you prefer to reach him there.
what about using ultrasound?
I did do some testing with an ultrasonic cleaner to see what it could remove, and it didn't do very well at rust or corrosion: kzhead.info/sun/qq2qhd59aqZ7h6M/bejne.html
Minor nit-picking @2:24 The laser energy _ablates,_ not _abelates,_ all the crud, paint and rust. "Abelation" has an "e" too much. Sorry for my OCD acting up.😅
Thanks for the heads up! This video was the first time I had ever used that word lol, I'll remember that in the next video!
yeah theres no chemicals in the process but the by product is the chemicals in the burnt off materials. Iron oxide is carcinogenic
Are you making any money with your laser or do you just use it in your own projects?
I’ve only used it for my own projects so far. If I get some spare time I might try to do some side jobs with it.
Why does it come with a 110 plug if it needs 220?
I'm guessing because most of the world only uses 220, while North America uses 110 and 220, and they ship these world wide.
I could see paying to have the underside of my vehicle laser cleaned. Id pay extra for the first person laser cam footage too lol.
I will say... DON'T laser clean anything rubber lol. I learned that first hand.
Hell yeah ...the price will drop on those just like 3D printers and CNC machines.
both of those still cost an arm and a leg....
I can't believe how much the prices have already dropped since 2020 when they were $100k. I think in a few more years it won't be uncommon for diyers to have one of these in their garage.
Don't hold your hopes up too much. It's in part thanks to 3D printing... sorry, _additive manufacturing,_ that the prices of industrial lasers have come down tremendously. 200 watt is a nice laser output power for an entry level powder bed selective laser melting (SLM) metal printer. Both types of devices benefit already from large drops in laser cost.
It's a shame they do not just list the prices. How much you ask, well how much you got.
I noticed that none of the laser companies list the prices on their website. I think it's because the technology is constantly evolving and they're getting cheaper. Also depends on your location because they cover shipping/tax/customs fees.
Less talk, more laser
Check out my YT Short videos. I have some more laser cleaning vids there. I also used it in the engine paint video to clean the block, head and accessories.
I was interested all along, thinking maybe priced like high end plasma cutters for example but then…..the price. Stopped the video right there.
Understandable... I'm lucky to be able to use this as a write-off. They also have less expensive models on their website.

One second of not paying attention and you and everyone in the room is blind. Permanently. No thank you Sir.
I wouldn't be too worried about that. Just wear the glasse, don't clean in a room full of people, and don't let people put their faces next to the surface being cleaned and it should be fine.
You are completely delusional. This is at the very least a laser class 3 machine. Even a reflection from across the room would blind anyone. There's a reason for very high safety standards when working with lasers. Clowning around in your garage with china laser goggles is NOT safe in any way.
It only has strength for a few inches as he demonstrated in the video. So I do not believe it would blind anyone unless you put your eye in its target zone.
Change your vocal delivery a tad, and you become Christopher Walken.
I gotta have more cowbell!
So cool. The only good thing about living is southern commiefornia desert is rust isn’t really an issue here.. but man that 😊laser is hella sweet to watch remove rust
It sure is. Also, I need to buy my next project vehicle from down there!
