I don't own any kind of saw with laser guide, so have little experience of

laser useless, so I gave it away - lasers just confuse you on curved cuts
anyway.

On a circ saw or SCMS how do they cope with the kerf of the saw blade?

Assuming said kerf is 3mm, is the laser to the left or the right of the
kerf, in which case you could cut over or under by 3mm, or is it central
which would give you 1.5mm short either way?

I have a laser on my Buy and Spew CSMS but my problem is, I can't see it
outside, because of the brightness on the sun. To get a laser to be seen
in those conditions you would need to earn a licence and have a key to
switch it off when you were not using it. I have used those in the
aerospace area. I once tried to calibrate my laser level and I had to
wait till the sun was almost set before I could do it.

I have never used a builders pro laser level, so I don't know what
training the users have to go through.
