Friend bought a kapex and is concerned about laser in sunlight

[honeydoman]

What do you guys do to see laser in sunlight while cutting ?

I recommend red glasses as one solution. I told him to work at night

So what are your solutions ?

Kreg,

I know that you are a music guy - Total Eclipse of the Sun?

Realistically, lasers in sunlight are a crapshoot.  Red glasses might be the best option.

Rock on Dude!

Are you sure you don't mean- Total Eclispe of the Heart, performed by Bonnie Tyler, written by Jim Steinman (the same Jim Steinman who composed, Bat out of heck, Bat Out of heck II: Back into heck, performed by Marvin Lee Aday aka Meatloaf)?

I see the titles got edited, heck replace the proper name of the albums.

What about a pop-up work canopy? If you could keep the direct sun off the laser (and off you) it might be helpful

There are several ways of dealing with direct sunlight, if the sun is behind you then your shadow will allow you to see the laser, if the sun is anywhere else then you can just block the sun with your hand and position the workpiece.

Option 3: move to Belgium

Why would you plant grass on a laser?
