Lasers and there confusion

[Andy Tiler]

Had the pls 180 for 5 years until I dropped and have invested in leica lino 2 , in my opinion a brighter and better laser !!

I've got the Leica aswell nice bit of kit

was that aimed at me?.........proberbly not...it will be aimed at other "tilers" on this site!!!!........but I am very familiar with 3*4*5.........its a pointless excercise in 2013 because we have lazer square's that can do it in a fraction of the time...........oh and I still own a chalk line.......and I use it almost daily........to mark my 060k laser line!!!!!!.........I even use hairspray and every thing.....

I herd of this method years ago but I am not to sure what the adhesive manufacturers would have to say about it. It may be a bit like putting washing-up liquid in a mortar mix they did it years ago but is a bit of a no no now but I could be wrong.

Well if you've got enough money I cant recommend this highly enough.

Bosch GLL2-80P + BM1 - 360 Degree Vertical and Horizontal Line Laser + Wall Mount

Brilliant bit of kit imho , I use it all the time for setting out. stick a screw in the wall hang it on there and bobs ur uncle. Battening up , stick it on the floor and with 360 degrees put all the battens on in one hit.
Along with my multimaster its the best bit of kit I'ver ever bought tbh.

I have had the Bosch above for just over 2 years now. I think it is fantastic. Worth every penny.

Right I have finally saved some money for a laser.level but do I go for the bosch gll 250 cross line which self levels or go for the bosch tl30 (I think) laser which doesnt level but projects 3 lines and righ angles to each other? :whatchutalkingabout

Theres a trade show on this weekend so thinking to try and look at them but some reviews woul be good from you guys.

Also can a crossline be used to quickly project a right angle onto a floor?

always self levelling for me. that way when you move it round a site you dont waste heaps of time re setting it...

Bet you still double check with spirit level that your batons are correct !

I've got the stabila lax50, don't think much of it to be honest, very flimsy, pole stand thing is useless but once set up and secure works well.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Clear tube of plastic and filled with water - finds it's own level!

I use a Stanley self levelling cross line. Cost a fair bit like never let me down yet customers still seem amazed when I get it out.
