Very cool! 

 

Ive got the Laser set up now but was not sure which way to go to power it. I like what you've done with the Makita battery, could you share the parts list? Id want to use my DeWalt batteries but they are 18v and the laser is supposedly 12v, not sure if thats an issue or not? 

the makita one is only 5v output , the makita code is DEAADP05

 

i did just try and look what the dewalt output is but i can't seem to see it... however, phones are normally charged at 5 volts so i guess it must be 5v output too

Thanks.  Whats the cross over parts you've used to attach to the battery?

Is your Laser designed to work with just 5v?

Some beech and macrocarpa from this week.

Yes, the mill is overkill for most of the logs but it's the only milling bar I have for the 880
