Laser Indicators
« on: February 03, 2014, 03:17:58 PM »
Anyone interested in making a deep hollowing system with a laser marker to show the location of the point of the tool.

Lidl are selling them at £2.99 each (from last Thursday).
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

thats a good idea,I have one off of a circular saw that went up in smoke after soninlaw got it wet,which is battery powered,could fit a bracket to the deep hollower handle with the laser in line with the cutting tip,would have to be l shaped to clear the work,would be a cheap option though,cheers,

Eric.

oh forgot to mention,I have some 6mm brass rod knocking about the place and some of those aluminium brackets from ,modern pushbikes + scooters that been broken up that could be adapted for this task,will let you know and take pics when I`ve had a go at it.
