I used the 2W IR laser to remove rust from an old chisel
First, remove any excess rust. I used a scourer under the sink.
Then, completely dry with a paper towel.
Before above, after below.
Measure the length and width of the tool then change the square size in xTool creative space file.
Check the size is correct by framing.
90% of the surface-level rust has been removed from just one pass. More scouring of the most rusted spots would have ensured a more even finish.
