Re: Drill Press

I'd suggest two crossing lines with the lasers attached to the drill table.? You can often buy "line" lasers that put out a line rather than a point.? If you have difficulty finding some, I'd suggest taking apart some very cheap laser line levels for parts.? It's just a laser pointer with an odd lens.? If you can, 3D printing is likely your friend.? You want a holder that's sturdy, but still attaches to the table to give you a maximum size.

You could also mount a TV camera under the table, with a 45 degree mirror, put a set of crosshairs on the monitor, and that works as well.

I just bought a quality drill motor and drill press from Jameco and need help with a laser siteing idea to put a laser dot under board in center of hole to be drilled.
Has anyone done this that has a parts list I can adapt to my press? How about a cross hatch on top of board? Which would be best? I am open to ideas and looking for assistance.
