A laser apparatus for projecting the axis of rotation of a rotating member is provided. The apparatus includes a lasing element mounted in a housing for projecting a high resolution laser beam. The housing also has a mounting stud extending therefrom substantially colinear with the laser beam but extending from the opposite end of the housing. The mounting stud is adapted to be mounted in a rotating member such as the chuck of a rotating tool. Rotation of the rotating member with the laser apparatus therein causes the laser beam to generate an annulus on an object spaced therefrom. The center of the annulus defines the true axis of rotation of the rotating member. The rotating member and/or the non-rotating member then can be realigned with respect to one another to accurately position the axis of rotation. |
