jim:

 :thumbup:  :thumbup: YES - I think thiese last adjustment posibilyties is a "must" !

How precise is it to use -  can you in fact:

1) center when drilling ?
2) find the edge ?
3) align the vice ?

If it's stable I'll try to make one too.

Best regards

Hi KSor

YES - center when drilling ?
YES - find the edge ?
YES - align the vice ?

websterz:
Just ordered myself a couple of laser pointers.   :proj:

boatmadman:
This is a great solution, but I have one question.

With just one ring of adjusting screws how can you be sure the pointer is parallel to the axis of the spindle?

If you set it up at a distance - say 50mm from the workpeice and adjust to get it central, then if you move it to say, 150mm, if the pointer is not true then it will be off centre - ok, just a little maybe, but its there.

If you fit two adjusting rings, then this could be corrected.

Hope this is clear.

Ian
