    Does anyone have experience with LaserStar laser welders? 

    I have the compact model, purchased in September 2004. Looked at
    several others. Chose LaserStar based on their training and service.
    I have not had it long enough to say much about long-term issues, but
    the training and followup has been excellent. It works great on
    dissimilar materials. Since mixed metals are a big thing with me,
    believe it or not, we actually talked about how mixed materials
    should be marked in the training class, which is to say I asked the
    instructor what he thought was fair and he insisted that the most
    important thing was to get the right settings so that you get a good
    deep weld that doesn't break. 

    No regrets about buying the LaserStar. I still do a lot more
    soldering than most laser owners, but that is the nature of my work
    rather than any shortcommings of the equipment.
