After seeing Dean's dillema I got to thinking.
Yes, I do my best to keep an eye on my laser as much as possible but as Dean's experience shows serious damage can happen in minutes.
I my shop I have 2 lasers and heat presses they are in an adjacent room for temp & humidity control. I have my work area, then the store area.
Being a small shop it's hard to be everywhere at once.
I was wondering if any one has set up a web cam or security camera that is focused on the laser so you can keep an eye on it while working on files are dealing with customers?
Just a thought, maybe good insurance with a small investment.
