I saw this one demoed at a woodworking show:

http://www.bladepoint.com/

One thing I don't like about this type of laser guide is that it's only
operated when the saw blade is spinning. While I haven't yet tried one, it
seems like having to turn on the saw before lining up the cut would be
somewhat self-defeating. Are there any lasers with a separate on switch
like you'd find on the newer Delta saw, for example, that don't require the
blade to be spinning first?


I was going to buy one, but the guy was too busy selling them and I had to
leave. The demo was very impressive, and it really seems like this could
improve accuracy and save time (by removing the need to sneak up on cuts,
for one thing).

I'm still planning to get one, but for now I don't have any first hand
experience.
