simplified laser cross-hair for Wabeco™ drill press

thingiverse

This model is for mounting a cross-hair laser to your Wabeco™ drill-press. Inspired by this video by "Offys Werkstatt" (https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oZdQoxT2HQ), and the design by Magnetic (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4607189), I opted to design a simplified version. Key features: - only a single part to print - laser modules can be aligned flush with the bottom so you do not accidentally mess up your focal adjustment - sufficient accuracy if the distance to your workpiece is reasonable (if your requirements sup) - cut-out in the back and holes for cable management (for hiding your solder joints or simply using the holes for cable ties) Required hardware: - two line-laser modules (Ø12mm) Note: I suggest adding a strain relief with some heat shrink tubing - 1 bolt M8 x 30mm with nut (the size is mainly for aesthetics) - electrical wires and a battery box or usb connector to supply 3V-5V to the laser modules (I use some velcro to attach a battery box to the body of the drill press) - optional: two small machine screws to keep up the clamping force required to hold the laser modules in place Calibration: - do the main focal adjustment of the laser modules before mounting them - install a small size drill bit to your drill press and use some pliers to gently rotate the laser modules so their lines meet right at the tip of the drill bit
