   Apparently even WALMART sells these!! The reviews I have read all seem to speak pretty positive of this little devise so, for 40 bucks (no matter where you buy it), how can you go wrong? I read one review that did say if you use a fence, it can skew the lines....something to consider. I'll take a crack at it for 40 bucks....I've spent more on a bad meal and we all know how long a meal lasts.

   I found the Wixey laser to be accurate, and a great aid for older eyes. They have versions for standard drill press and radial drills, where the head can move in and out or rotate. I did some testing before starting on Christmas gifts and found the laser beams were spot on for short or long bits, table raised up high or near the base. etc.

   Nice enough, but what I want is a laser that'll cut the hole for me. ;)

   This is great, but where can you get one?
