Rotating Laser centre/edge finder.

[@KravchenkoAudioPerth]

Nice idea. I like your presentation and explanations. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

Excellent explanation of the process...The idea came from here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paW2m6iqZs56fc0 You can now buy them from "Centerquic"

[@Stelios.Posantzis]

That's the first video on metal work making use of a laser out of hundreds I've watched. I'm surprised that machinists do not make greater use of them. Combined with reflective materials and appropriate attachments, lasers can make great, easy to make and, more importantly, cheap precision indicators. There really is no excuse for not using them widely.

I thought this was just another center finder. I really like what it can do on internal/external cylinders. Great tool!

[@howder1951]

Possibilities for my mill drill are very impressive, round column can be picked up after adjusting height of quill assembly which requires reclamping , and ease of locating that centre pin on the rotary table looks so easy now compared to working with an indicator. Cheers!

what a fantastic device. Regards from Florence

I know this is an old thread, using this, you could use a cylinder with a 90 degree notch to edge find a part. Also tram your mill by setting a cylinder square on your mill table.

😲😲😲 I don't have a mill drill machine but this is very clever idea..

Cool idea

You 'll find Dan's device within his milling video part 15 of 18

[@MotoChassisByTonyFoale]

David, I am aware of that one, but it is not the original one that I was referring to. IIRC it was a video dedicated to the laser centre finder. The device in that video had a different construction to the one briefly shown in part 15, and Dan demonstrated more uses in more detail. I have been unable to find that video for quite some time now. His channel has not been updated for 4 years now.

[@davidleach8535]

@@MotoChassisByTonyFoale Hi Tony I see what you mean. I also got the idea from that brief section and built myself a unit. In my case I designed and printed a device using my 3D printer. Like you I find it very useful.

Superclass, like!!!?

[@MotoChassisByTonyFoale]

Glad you like it.

[@lorenzocapostagno6619]

Friend, I find this device on eBay for sale, what name can I search on? Thank you, Lorenzo (Brazil).

[@davidleach8535]

Google Dan Gilbert videos and look at Pt 15 of 18 in his series of prototype making,

[@MotoChassisByTonyFoale]

Lorenzo, I have never seen these on eBay. If you need one then you will have the tools to easily make one.

Little dangerous isnt it? Having that thing spin around like that…

Different people have different risk tolerance.
