Laser edge and center finder

Does anyone have experience with these: http://littlemachineshop.com/product...y=131031042 9 Google and Dejanews comments suggest that they may not be the best for edge finding (most comments prior to integral polarizing attachments) which I can intuitively understand, but I feel that they should be the thing for center finding. I am using one of these: http://littlemachineshop.com/product...y=131031042 9 I have no problem finding the edges with it but I am not ecstatic about its ability to find centres. I use the laser quite a bit when accuracy of more than +_ .002 is not an issue. Mine came without a polarizing filter but the dot is small enough and adequate. I had to modify the turn on and off system, the plastic piece was too slippery for my oily fingers. If you get one you'll see what I mean. cheers T.Alan |
