Anybody build Dan Gelbart angled laser centre finder?
BaronJ:
Hi Guys,
This one seems to be very similar to mine. All the same specifications.

This is what Pekka's bought, I'd hardly call that expensive.

And it should be a simple job to mount it.
It may need the addition of something like a ND filter but these are inexpensive as well and hardly difficult to fit.
I'm in agreement with Pekka, it may or may not prove to be an effective device but it certainly need not require a great investment in either time or money to give it a try. I'm encouraged enough by Dan's video to want to at least spend a little time on it.

Sorry arbalist, I missed that one. If itworks, that would be great. I found Pekka's post and sounds like he already has a small spot size with a filter.
RobWilson:
Just a thought here lads , what about using a laser that mounts to an air gun scope ?

I did not got any garage time today, not that much progress today.
I got battery holder for two AA and a small swich. I rigged two different lasers to try it out.
5mW cross hair unit is much more nice to eye on white wall. Pretty natural, because the light is streched whole much further. This laser module was about same price. It would be usefull on some ocasions, specially considering the price. Clearly not as nice line quality as 100€ complete brand units. They have selfleveling and all that stuff.
5mW focusable "dot" unit is whole lot more involved, dot is very much more obivious and definately I would not like to stare into that beam. It's funny how much bigger and glaring the same dot appears on white surface - compared to a miniature dot agains black matte surface.
This cheap "focusable" laser is not ideal, but it could be good enough. Hope I'll have chance of rigging it on arbor tomorrow or latest thurstday.
Pekka
