Terry's Laser Trick - Knock Off

[mndless]

Terry posted a video back in January, where he used a laser level tool, to mark an accurate hole in the cowl... for access to the carb adjustments.

Well... I don't have one of those cool laser level tools... so... I made the poor mans laser marking tool thing...

Probably don't have $5.00 in this. You can buy these little laser modules on ebay for next to nothing. A switch, 5V regulator and a battery... done !

And, just to finish it off in full Terry fashion... I glued the laser module in place with goop... !!

Not going to be very useful for much else, but it will work for marking spots on the cowl !!

Very cool! I actually thought of that idea some time ago but kept forgetting about it. Couple times I've used it works really well!

If your laser has a frequency adjustment you could lower the frequency and it would not burn as bad.

Thanks Terry... I'll play with it... but, I think my laser cartridge is simple old, and I'm having to run things too hot and slow... Need to replace it, but they are not cheap.

This is very cool, definitely could have used this to cut holes in my cowl for sure!!

I use a $3 cat toy laser taped to a make shift, bendable stand made out of a thick wire coat hanger.
