The laser guide I would suggest is one that bolts onto the blade shaft
and when the blade spins faster than 600 RPMs the laser lights up and
draws a line exactly where the blade will cut. This is especially
helpful when cutting compound miters.


The problme is, the blade is turning about 4000 rpm in a second or two.
While holding the trigger to keep the blade running to keep the light on,
you have to line up the cut with your other hand. I really don't care what
you do, but when my blade is spinning, my other hand is firmly in place, far
from the carbide tips. Reminds me of playing Russian roulette.

Thats one of the reasons I opted for the dual laser on the CMS I
recently purchased. It can be turned on or off w/o having to run the
saw. I don't want to be moving stuff after I turn it on. And it
doesn't use watch batteries!
