Materials
The laser is from Amazon, model SYD1230, just Google that, you will need a 3V battery, I used a NT123A and a switch.
I used 18mm MDF, 3/4" for those who object to mm :)
Tools
Shaper Origin
6mm Cutter
Instructions
I took a bit of time calibrating this, just slight angle adjustment of the laser then locking with thin CA glue. Cut the battery approx 12mm deep, hex out the switch and laser holes. Cut the inner circle as an outside cut down to 15mm, cut the outer circle (note the indented 90 Degree section, this clears the pin on Origin and allows indexing of teh cross hair) as an inside cut. You will need to adjust the offset to fit the battery and switch, I had to clear out the corners of the switch aperture to fit. Assemble, wire, fiddle, fix the laser (I used thin CA glue) and play.
