To laser or not to laser that is the question

All I know is, I've seen YH's mug in his videos. I can't speak to the laser exposure but I would definitely avoid mirrors with that thing😁

I have no lasers here. Never had one. All my figuring by eye up to 25' 30' out before I need a tape. As my eyes get older and can't  see so far
I just might get one.

I know, it's a curse!  Me, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, we all have the same problem, but somehow we learn to cope!

I built a laser for mine a couple years ago. It worked for a while on the saw but I mounted it in a spot that I occasionally struck it with piece of my jacket getting hooked on it so I removed it. By that time I became pretty good at reading the log for cutting so I wasn't using it much at all.

If you want to know about what I made, I did a blog post about it then

I purchased the same laser that I saw on youtube from the channel sawing with sandy.  I really like it.  I mounted it pretty much like others on this thread by the sawdust chute.

definately easy to see indoors.  I mill inside my barn.  saves me time and wasted materials by not taking off as much accidentally. 

I paid about 150 all in with brackets .
