ABSTRACT:
A power tool having a work surface and a spindle attached to the power tool and defining an axis of operation of the power tool. In one embodiment, the power tool may include a bracket above the work surface. The bracket may include first and second bracket receptacles and first second holders movably supported in the first and second bracket receptacles. A first laser generator may be mounted in the first holder at a first angle relative to an axis of the first holder, and it may adjustably project a first fan beam. A second laser generator may be mounted in the send holder at a second angle relative to an axis of the second holder, and it may adjustably project a second fan beam. The first and second fan beams may be adjusted to intersect along the axis of operation of the power tool.
