not sure how far out it is but it is clearly obvious to the eye when comparing it to my dewalt laser i guess about 2-3mm over 1,5-2m so pretty poor it does have a tilt feature which may be interfering with the self leveling ??? I will have a look on line to see if i can get it repaired

Here is instructions on how to Calibrate your own Laser Level from ehow website.


[h=2]Instructions[/h]

[h=3]Things you need[/h]

• Laser level
• Laser tripod
• Marking pole

• Place the level on top of the tripod and position the tripod at a distance of 32 feet from the marking pole.
  
  
  
  
• Make a measurement from the tripod to the top mark on the marking pole and mark the measured point.
  
  
  
  
  
• Turn the tripod so that the laser is pointed at another marking point at 180 degrees from the first marked measurement.
  
  
  
  
• Move the tripod so that the laser is only 3 feet from the second marked measurement. Adjust the tripod so that the laser level is in line with the marked point.
  
  
  
  
• Turn the tripod back around to face the first marked measurement. If the laser doesn't line up perfectly with the first mark then the degree of the level needs to be adjusted until the laser lines up with the first mark. Adjust the degree that the level is displayed at by turning the knob on the side of the laser until the laser lines up with the first measured mark
  

Hope this helps .

Hi Gary

I sent my old Laserline auto cross 3 to Laserlevel shop on line in London to see if they could repair it when it was damaged.

It was condemned and i bought another from them.

There are not many places that stock Laserliner but i'm sure this company can either calibrate or repair.

Shame tradetiler stopped stocking the autocross as i think it's a cracking laser.

Is it not cheaper to buy a new one? I think the Ryobi cross pendulam laser i got only set me back 40-50 quid.
