Stabila FLS 90 floor laser?!?

It’s just the same as 345ing trough multiple rooms with a chalk line except you don’t actually have to do the 345. Mark laser lines and strike a line and move on off that and so on.

When setting out floors with your lasers so you just work to the laser or mark the floor and put the laser away

Sometimes either or both Andy, haha just depends how I’m feeling or what’s happening.
Sometimes I’ll project the laser over the adhesive if I’m doing something like herringbone, where you need to see your line but also need to have adhesive, or say brickbond you understand what I mean Andy?

Last question Marc
If I'm using the targets accurately I assume I can be pinging off new datum lines even though the main DL is in another room and I've no longer got a line on it because I've shifted the targets as I go (y axis then x axis etc..) Jeez sounds way more complicated when you type it out lol

Haha yes Nick, start with one datum, strike it, move along to next opening or wherever you need a perpendicular line. Set laser along your original datum and set your new datum with the new beam.

I still make and use a staff when doing multi rooms even with my starship enterprise laser.

As do I on occasion Ian, I’m a bit of a tart like that, I change my mind every day, depends if I’m happy or grumpy or if the suns shinning that day.

So I suppose my real one question Marc
Is ..... are the targets a good enough substitute for chalk lines when initially checking multiple rooms for squarity?

I know squarity isn't a word Marc but I feel the need to humour you.
And I'm not planning to do away with chalk lines (or my trusty jury staffs) - just want to avoid loads of datum lines and only snap my final tile lines. I've had mop out before cos I no longer had a Scooby what line was what!! lol

If you mean leave the targets in place while you check about, yeah I suppose they would be. The way I use the targets is so that I can see the line at greater distances. But I will ALWAYS put in one datum line to start with and go from there. To my mind you need a reference point, and mine will always be the longest line I can find thro the building.
So for instance, I’ll go to the corridor that runs in to the main area for example, centre it and ping a line. Then using that line I’ll reference each and every room from it. Regardless of whether I use that line in the end. But for me, you need one, if not two lines, perpendicular to each other. Then you can plus or minus off each line.
How does that grab you?

Wow that’s a current reference Nick haha

Square out the job in red chalk Nick then strike your tile to line in say a blue etc, that way you won't get confused.

After reading this thread and all the recommendations of this laser I have decided to take the ‘plunge’ and get a Festool t55, ( in case my wife is reading this! )
