    I am apologizing to Andy at Stuller when I say this, but the PUK
    welder is only good for pre soldering assembly.  I have played with
    this welder and it is so limited in what it can do.  It is the best
    tack welder on the market, but if you for one second think it can do
    even 1/10th of what a laser welder can do then you will be
    disappointed.  Yes it will tack titanium, but it will not penetrate
    the core of the metal, just the outer edge.  I was humored by the
    original claim that why spend $28,000 on a laser when the PUK is
    only 10% of the price.
