What determines the quality and longevity of a laser pointer? A low wattage type say 5mw red, is it the circuitry, the diode, the switching? Thanks, Tim S

Ha Just have ta keep prices low because most of the large corps have taken that idea to a new level. So people can't afford to pay big dollars for simple tools. Read an article in a paper I get ,back a while ago, and it was saying china labor was starting to get to expensive and they were...

sorry blended to messages with one.

Have you ever seen a bore sight? As I was looking at the components you suggested I ran on to them. If I could make some thing similar in Nylon that is what I would be looking for. The battery thing might be a problem though I would like to keep it small. Say .355 x 3inchs with the twist switch...

just looked one up, what other components are required? Lens? batteries? switch? Could I put that say in a injection molded plastic body or is there some safety issue with that?

Thank you This is just what I need, a place to build a base. No definately not more power , was just thinking a finer beam. So if I were to give the build shop these component requirements then I would just have to give them the specs of the laser body and the type of switch mechanism I...

How would the size of the laser beam effect price. And how much more would we be talking? I do have some room to work. I am just trying to keep costs low so that I can pass that on to the consumer and it will be easier for them to buy product.

It is for a tool that I am making( it will go in the tool to help aim). And basically the particular key chain laser I have is perfect(.355 in diam about 2.5 inches long), but the concerns I have are, durability ,accuraccy(which I can get around) dot size and eye damage(I believe the laser I...
