I have a Delta DP that came with the laser and would not miss it if quit
working. Am I missing something here? Now I will admit that for coarse
locating I am ok with it but not for accurate repeated drilling.

Obviously, you feel that the lasers aren't reliable enough for
accurate repeated drilling. Would you use them if they were or are you
of the old school frame of mind ~ preferring the method you've always
had to use?

I think they are reliable but I have not yet seen one that you can get a
repeatable mark to say 1/32" of an inch. The lines are too coarse.
Like trying to measure 32nds" of an inch with a rule that has 1/32" wide
markings.

Here ya go, old man: http://goo.gl/K4Hv6
Now maybe you can see those 1/64 and RCH lines on the better tapes.

I don't have a problem seeing the markings, as long as they are not
under the wide laser beams.
