The one I have was made by Avenger Products, model 21400. Uses G13A batteries.
The company appears to have been bought by Jewett-Cameron circa 2011 and this
particular product discontinued.

Why not take a thick bar, 2 inches diameter, and rough machine it between
centre's to something like the shape below.
You have a slightly larger diameter every inch, but thin, like a washer.
This bar can be re-used, and every time you set out to measure, you blue
the high spots and take the slight

The V2 8 megapixel camera for Raspberry Pi uses the Sony IMX219 sensor which is
a bit over 5mm wide by a bit under 5mm tall. They call it 1/4" diagonal.
Should be able to hit that with a laser beam, if the pinhole lens can be
removed.
The first model Pi camera used the (since discontinued) Omnivi

If I remember correctly the piece I used was only about 18" long but
about 4" diameter. Delrin that size is pretty spendy. I just used what I

That depends on the aim of the exercise. Is the aim to make straight
parts or to have a perfectly aligned lathe?

The problem here is that deflection of the bar, and also the
lathe, will affect the accuracy of the result.

Indeed. In fact the linear component of the error will tell you how
far from the _bed_ axis the tailstock is.

Gene - Xray film exposed to light and processed makes for a very heavy filter.
Perhaps a single dental xray would provide enough material.
Also if you know anyone who processes there own 35mm. Pan X or Plus X and maybe

Hi Gene,
I'd take the lens off of the camera so the beam directly hits the
sensor. The laser beam is co-linear so you don't need to focus it and a
lens just introduces distortion. Everything else will just be an even
colour background so you should be able to fairly easily distinguish

A circular polarizing filter, like from a pair of RealD 3D movie glasses, seems
to both dim and 'sharpen' a LASER beam somewhat. What it doesn't do is make the
beam split into a row of dots like a linear polarizing filter does.
