Mitre Saw Laser Tip

Hi,

I have a cheap CMS with a laser. It is badly positioned (at the back) and
when you cut wood, it shoots ALL the dust / chippings at the laser. This is
incredibly hard to clean, because it's recessed a little. I have a solution!

Give the laser a good clean, (toothbrush, cotton bud) and then apply a small
piece of sellotape (see-thru sticky tape). This then gets rid of the recess,
and is easier to clean. This in fact works like a filter on a camera for all
of you who are photographers :)

Sam

There's something about a simple solution that appeals to us all. And for
the duct tape aficionados, they'll love this!

Hey Leon, if you're picking on me I'll find out you know - someone always
tells me!

I mean't those who like simple solutions, like duct tape users...oh never
mind... it's *that* season again, isn't it.

(Rabbet season, no, duct season, Rabbet season....)
