Our laser guides are the easiest way to turn your saw into a precision cutting machine. All models, including the 2nd generation red lasers (LG-M01 and LG-R01) and the 3rd generation green laser (LG-M02), install quickly by replacing the outer blade flange with the laser guide unit. No confusing parts or adjustments required. The LG-M02 green laser offers superior visibility, up to 10 times brighter than red, making it ideal for bright shops or outdoor use. Every model projects a clear, accurate line to the left of the blade kerf and improves safety by showing exactly where the blade will cut. The centrifugal switch activates the laser automatically when the saw reaches running speed.

Notes: Will not fit some 12″ saw models that have interlocking arbor flanges, including some Ridgid, ProTech and Hitachi saws (see LG-M01 installation note below for more details). If your saw has a 5/8″ threaded arbor shaft and uses a nut to secure the blade, use Item # LG-R01.

Item # LG-M01 & LG-M02 Installation Note: The arbor recess on the laser guide is made to fit many machines and may have some amount of play when mounted. To address the universal arbor recess, when installing the laser guide, once it is placed on the arbor you can rotate it slightly which will allow the laser guide to self-center on the end of the arbor shaft prior to tightening down.

In some cases such as 12″ machines and those with metric arbor sizes, the blade adapter or inside arbor flange washer can protrude past the blade body preventing the laser guide from tightening down fully on the blade.  Often this compatibility issue can be overcome by utilizing a full kerf blade, or if needed, a thinner blade adapter on your machine.

Warning: Read and follow all instructions that came with your saw. Never look directly into the laser beam. Do not use if the laser guide does not secure the blade properly.
