Cleaning a $20 waffle maker with a $20,000 laser.

You’re off by a lot. These lasers can be bought new for well under $10,000.

Still a lot of money to clean some cast iron when a wire brush is a couple bucks, but it’s not nearly as bad as you’re saying

Ya a tiny laser that does 10mm wave width or something are cheap. That is like a 50 cm 1000w 480v 3ph laser the way it cleaned. I've used these, btw.

You can get 1kW out of household 120/15a. Why would it need 480 3ph?
