laser alignment

[katman]

I bought a laser sighter off eBay. It is for a riffle barrel. Looks like a cartridge and you load it into the gun to line up your sights. I have other uses for it but. I needed a laser that was stright like this one. My first one needs constant calibration.

Anyway, I got it home and mic'd it up to find it was out .012" from front to back. So I reworked it in my lathe and now it is pretty good.

I will be using it for sprocket alignment as well as other uses. With different adapters and such I can use it to check frames, wheel centers on custom wheel conversions, milling machine and much more.

No, Actually I was finishing a set of bandit reducer bushings and spacers for a dude. Then I moved onto this. I thought the casing was uniform until I put it in the chuck. Has some wiggle so I checked it with the mic. wow, was it out.

Nice to have a laser now that fires straight out. I saw some on ebay for bikes but they are 50 and 100 bucks. got this one for 15.00 and I can do much more with it than the premade ones.

There are more on there for 29.00.

I saw this laser tool for chain alignment:http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...84.m1423.l2649
Has anyone bought it so far?
I don't understand how the laser is powered???
I found the answer....there is no laser.
The company is called Laser !!!
In the meantime, I found this device that I ordered:http://www.profi-products.de/shop/en...ent-Tools.html

Ill be interested in seeing what you come up with for wheel alignment. Some type of structure to get some good measurements from.
