Laser finishing
Is this a thing? I've read when polishing rods to do it longitudinal and in another thread I considered it for micro shaping a pushrod longitudinal.

Re: Laser finishing
FWIW, polishing rods, cranks, has been around forever and it's among the many old school processes difficult to quantify. I did it for twenty-five years and haven't done it for the last twenty-five - no noticeable difference, other than I have more time to spend chasing equally difficult-to-quantify processes.
Similar but different, relieving flathead blocks was SOP for a hunnerd years and finally someone took the trouble to flow bench and guess what? Doesn't help.

Re: Laser finishing
Something like that wondered if lasers were being used to treat surface for strength in anyway.
