The sparks travel that fast, yeah, that's what I meant :-). Guess I
shouldn't post while watching football. The Giants just finished losing to
Dallas, and I'm not doing any math, so maybe I'm safe from typos and mental
misteaks (:-)) this time. We have a 1200 W Amada CO2 laser at work, but it
dates from the 80's and moves the sheet, not the laser head, so it isn't
nearly as impressive as current tech.

125 feet per minute is 85 miles per hour,

really? You want to run those figures again? G

A skosh over a couple feet per second, equalling 1.42mph, Carl.
It just _looks_ like 85mph when you see it cutting that thick plate.
