Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?

james,

first, there is no telling what each of us get when ordering from china. assuming specified power means something, the 5mW red focusable laser i purchased for about what you paid is not very bright - see my recent post in this thread.

At the time i installed it, it was just usable. since then the lights were upgraded to LED and now it is hard to see.

FWIW, unless one builds a better holder, in my experience the factory supplied holder is not steady and requires frequent adjustment. since my ceiling is 12¡¯ tall i chose to now place the LED on wall. if it needs adjustment i can get to it with a stool.

hope this helps people trying to install the LED to aid in straight line ripping. looking fwd to hearing about the 50mW green laser brightness in well lit shop environment.

I bought this 660nm 5mW Industrial Focusable Laser Line Module/Locator Laser with PSU&Bracket (only $15) last year, and have not installed it.

I made this purchase myself as well..I'm looking at various ways to mount it to a platform off my ceiling so it hangs about 9 feet off finish floor, but about 5 feet off the sliding table so hopefully the line will be a bit more crisp..Also wiring it to a switch off the wall, so I can turn it on and off at will.

No need to do much hacking:

It includes power supply and a mount.

?Thanks @ahazi.
I've been thinking of retrofitting one of my laser levels for this purpose, but never had the time. Didn't know I could buy a green laser unit like this. I ordered it directly. Was told I'd get it in February.
