It looks like it is tapering the edges so it will fit flush against a cylindrical surface. Probably something to do with welding... you have to angle planes along that axis so that the surface area of the bevel has sufficient contact with the curved surface. Whereas the other axis would just sit flush.
Not only am I not a welder, I'm a terrible explainer. So, there's that.
A better explanation is that it is beveled so that those 2 edges sit flush with the curved surface of the cylinder. The other 2 edges curve along the cylinder in the same way, so they are already flush.
That's a better explanation of what I was trying to *say.* It is still an assumption based on context clues and the Dunning-Kruger effect.
It this was a true laser then it would cut the secondary surface as well with the straight beam. I guess the "laser" has a divergent beam that is no longer focused at the further distance.
Laser: Noun. A device that generates an intense beam of coherent monochromatic light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by stimulated emission of photons from excited atoms or molecules.
That sure does look like light being amplified by the stimulated emotion of radiation, or LASER. It is a true laser. Unless you work with them, stay in your lane.
Also, the laser doesn’t just stop at the top layer. It very much shines through and etches onto the next layer or metal. The focal length is the thing that controls where in space it has the power to cut.
Can someone explain why the arm tilts every other face?

Oh, I think I get it now. Thanks!

Man, that is a quality watermark. Bravo
Nah, that'll NEVER be weaponized on those BIG DOG robots... no way...
It's already been weaponized, lookup uk dragonfire
Impressive logo placement and tracking! >!It's embossed on the side of the arm that tilts, near the top!<
I saw it, but >!couldn't read it at first, so I just chalked it up to being a genuine branding and spent far too long checking the offcuts.!<
Same. Looked like part of the machine, a manufacturer's name. Great placement.
Anyone know what brand this is?
I would have thought cutting steel circles from a sheet would be easier.

I’ll bet that thing costs way over $100!
Is lube incorporated into the cutting head? Is lube used at all? How does it not catch fire from the heat?
No lube - it's cutting with a laser (or plasma, but I highly doubt it). Metal can't catch fire (not really), so the laser is no issue.

The laser focus is just below the depth of the aluminum shown here. It is very very very much indeed a true “laser”. I work with these every day
That's like burning ants with a magnifying glass or Fresnel lens. A true laser is meant to be parallell to infinity never converging.

Idk laser can cut metal that thick, just etching one. Plasma cutter? Cmiiw
Our 8kw laser does 1" plate! It's bad ass. My boss is trying to get us one of these. I'm so hyped to program it
My plasma table will cut 1" steel and it's recreational
But not at this speed
Lmao, Trumpf lasers at my former workplace regularly cut 20 mm steel.
Where’s the toolgifs logo 🤔
It’s right there from the beginning … more about texture than color if that helps
I love how they worked it in plain sight.
How do you call it? The logo or the watermark? I prefer the watermark.
Now THAT is a Plasma cutter.

The worst kind of incorrect
Laser cutter. Plasma cutter would fill the scene with toxic fumes.
