Anybody build Dan Gelbart angled laser centre finder?
vtsteam:
I spread it on the surface plate with a brayer, no thinner if new, maybe a drop if it's getting too thick. Works for me.
Dykem Hi-Spot worked slightly better than Prussian blue artst's oils because a little more intense and non drying. But the old tube had a white painted outside, and bits of this flaked off and drove me nuts wrecking rubs until I masking taped over the tube.

I'm beating this thread to death......
Anyway, I'll be sanding and painting living room roof. Swinging beltsander overhead is brutal for officeat. Then I'll remove carpet and grind concrete flat before laying hardwood floor. Should keep me busy week or two.
I tested a little pin hole...I pricked a little pinhole on black carboard, cut it round and fited between spring and lense. It worked pretty good.
I removed tha sticker and found out that rear end screws off fairly rapidly revealing the contol board. I wonder if the control board could be mounted remotely or turned 90 degrees to make the whole thing shorter. Looks like a simple regulator, wonder if it needs to be immediately next to laser diode, or could it be moved a little further.

Damn it. Frgot to add the pictures :bang:
Arbalist:
I think I've decided to go with these bits. I don't believe I'll need a filter but I will use a small aperture plate to improve the dot shape.
Just need some spare time now to put it together.
PekkaNF:
Looks good.
How are you going to hook up the battery? Do you have parts for battery holder?
Are you going to build adjustable mount for the laser or use fixed angle?
I'm starting ti think this as an accessory to centrefinder.
