Miter saw laser line adapter

I've played with one, but don't own one, and don't get the advantage. I think it looks neat and high tech, but not for the money.

For me, a shop made zero clearance insert and fence works just as well, if not better, for much less money.

FWIW I have the single line laser on mine. I really like it. Some say it's a waste, but everyone has their own opinion. I just ordered one for SIL for Xmas. He likes coming over to use my saw just for that reason. Once you get used to it, it's hard to use a saw without one.

Last I checked, Norm was still using the original PC model, nothing newer. Always interesting to observe what he uses for more than a single season regardless of what the sponsor is selling. If I see him using a newer model for more than one season, then I'd consider it.

For a while, I'm pretty sure he was using a Makita router with the logo taped over (though easily identifiable by the color).

I have one on my Hitachi C10FS sliding compound miter, and it's a nice-to-have -- certainly not a need to have.

That said, I have one mounted to the ceiling above my Unisaw - the laser is the exact width of my blade. This makes it very easy to see exactly where the blade will cut (most of the time - doesn't work for tilted blade cuts).

I find the later application a lot handier than the first.

Thanks for your feedback. I was hoping I'd get more responses but that's the way the wood dust flies. After researching a few Laser guides I decided to get the LASERKERF. I will post my comments after I install and play with it.
