Abstract
The measuring device described herein relates to an automatic wood marker attachment device. The device can be selectively attached to a chainsaw or power saw. More specifically, the device is clamped to the handlebar of a chainsaw or power saw using clamping arms. A pair of independently operating and articulating laser sources are used for projecting linear laser beams. The laser beams provide markings on a wood log to enable an operator to make accurate and precise cuts using the automatic laser markers. The laser sources are controlled using a control button to independently operate the laser sources. Further, the laser sources can be adjusted to any desired angle to allow automatic marking at any predeterminable direction and spacing.
Claims20
A laser marking device for marking a saw cut, the laser marking device comprising:
- a pair of laser light sources;
- a clamp for mounting said laser marking device on a saw;
- an adjustable arm for adjusting a height and a reach of said pair of laser light sources;
- said pair of laser light sources project laser beam lights onto a log;
- said laser beam lights comprise at least one linear light line to act as a guiding marker for an alignment of said saw;
- and
- said alignment of said saw corresponds to said saw cut.
A laser marking device for marking a plurality of saw cuts on a log, the laser marking device comprising:
- a pair of laser light sources mounted to said laser marking device;
- a clamp for mounting said laser marking device on a saw;
- an adjustable arm for adjusting a height and a reach of said pair of laser light sources;
- said adjustable arm articulates to adjust a position and an angle of said pair of laser light sources, wherein said pair of laser light sources project laser beam lights onto the log at a predeterminable spacing;
- said laser beam lights include linear light lines to act as guiding markers for an alignment of said saw;
- and
- said alignment of said saw corresponds to said plurality of saw cuts.
A method for marking lengths of saw cuts on a log, the method comprising:
- providing a pair of laser light sources mounted to a laser marking device;
- clamping said laser marking device on a saw;
- adjusting a height and a reach of said pair of laser light sources;
- articulating a position and an angle of said pair of laser light sources;
- projecting a pair of linear light lines from said pair of laser light sources onto the log at a predeterminable spacing;
- and
- aligning said saw with said pair of linear light lines, wherein said saw, when aligned, corresponds to the saw cuts.
