Is it possible nowadays to get a budget laser to burn stuff (matches, etc...)? What specs (color, wattage, nm, etc...) am I looking for to get the most heat in the least amount of time at ranges of 2-3 meters?
What sorts of glasses will protect from accidental exposure to the laser?
I have decent soldering skills and a very good solder station, so if I can get more for less by doing a bit of work, I am open to that, also. Though with China pumping out lasers so fast, I don't know if it's possible to save money that way anymore.
