Anybody build Dan Gelbart angled laser centre finder?
Arbalist:
The angle will be adjustable.
I expect to make the parts for the battery but if it's problematic commercial holders seem to be available for most batteries. All it needs is a hole for the battery, a couple of contacts and a spring.
I made a small "can" out of aluminium with a .65mm hole in the end for the Laser today.

HDPE? You really didn't want laser body to make electrical contact on anything?
Looks nice. All parts in and then you'll find static balance?
How is the dot?

Arbalist:
Just playing around with some ideas really. Dot seems pretty good. I didn't have any alloy the right size for the main body so it's some grey PVC I had. The laser mount is Ertalyte TX. Just thinking about how to mount the battery.
Update:
A quick lash up to see what results I get!
1400 rpm and the battery didn't come off! The laser housing has a taped hole for locking it in place but as its a nice friction fit it doesn't have a bolt in it yet but no movement on this either.
Looks good, I just need to work out the battery housing and check for balance.
PekkaNF:
Looks the part!
Have you tried yet how does the laser "paints" the edge of the boss, hole, or clylinder (pin). I have been thinking that that angle adjustment is not essential, but it's definately a conveniece. Reduces a lot of jacking the mill knee up and down.
