Does the laser line land exactly where the tape says?

Accuracy

A projected line is only useful if it sits on the dimension. Anyone cutting sheet goods to a laser mark wants to know the line is the number and not a couple of graduations off it, because a saw on a track follows what you gave it. The T1 Tomahawk throws its green line off the blade at the reading itself, so the line and the digit come from one measurement. Check it once against a rule and the rest of the cut list marks straight off the laser.

The video sets a board on a bench, reads 63 inches on the T1, and lays the green line across the face at that mark. A steel rule and a speed square go down beside it to see where the line actually falls against the 61, 62 and 63 graduations. Then the cut is made with a circular saw running on a track.
