You should look over leica lino ML180. It rotates itself. So you set it on the first point and put receiver on second point and it rotates itself to find second point and then you are able to make a square very fast.. 😊😊
Unfortunate you didn’t like that laser. I’ve been using mine everyday for two months now. We had slab issues so lot of custom cut stud heights. I’ve used this laser along with its receiver to square up for Snapping wall plate lines. Also used them to make sure truss layouts were square according to grid lines snapped out on the floor. All this done in full mid day sun. It’s a great laser. May just have to invest a bit more for the receiver. Awesome vids by the way!
I'm in the commercial industry and debating switching over to residential. Any work habits I should start picking up on to help me be a better framer? (Aside from the longer hours of course). Just finished my second year of schooling so I have calculations down and everything
Go get yourself a Hilti PM 40-MG just google it the thing is amazing for layout. It has a reciever and the point intersection is right under the unit so it rotates perfect over the point. You can do it 1 man setup. Put the receiver on the far end with the noise up high. Then you stay with the unit and use the dial to accurately rotate the unit untill the sound reads solid. Your on line @ square. I have two of these and it’s so fast
RR construction uses a Stabila laser to square their buildings. Kyle has a video on how it works. Expensive, but automatically squares the foundation. Give it a look.
@@stabila9706 yes out of them all I hv 3/4 sitting in my shop ! I use a Stabila 330 I think ? I am a finish carpenter and it’s great even for a lot of your work! Expensive yes! But not sitting in a corner ! He needs the receiver so he is not on the floor hunting for the line!
Next time on the end u had the target just put ur speed square standing up on your mark and you can see when the laser hits very edge so u can do it by yourself
I could tell right away as soon as you turned it on you stretched it in the wrong mode you had it locked and one click down would have been auto level that would have fixed it. you had it in the wrong setting.
Yeah it’s so hard to see outside red green its just really hard to see the line really nice inside the house the framers at work want one I just keep telling them don’t waste your money
just read other comments lasers fine set receiver on pencil mark micro adjust laser other end wait for beep sound perfect square as I said it takes a bit of time to get fast
If you want to do that job by yourself and faster, invest in a Stabila Total Station. I have one and won’t use anything else. Pricey but pays for itself.
You're a guy who might want to read the instructions. You don't level it and get it online buy having a guy rotate the entire laser at the other end of the house.
And.... you just discovered the biggest issue with that laser and that is visually seeing the line during daylight hours. It no workee. The solution is to spend some more money on the Milwaukee laser detector and that problem goes away. The specs say the range is 165 feet and while that may be true, the naked eye will not see the line for much distance at all during broad daylight. It would have been nice if the marketing guys would have been a bit more forthcoming about this.
This is a primarily indoor laser, what you want is a Stabila LA180L.
Goooood to see ya BEASTY!!! hope this week is starting off perfectly .... hello from Monday, April 24, 2023.
didn't even switch to the self-leveling mode, you had it in the locked position
Wouldn’t have mattered he’s looking for a different tool
I use laser receivers. They work everytime and super accurate.

Thanks , I’ve watched vids since and everyone seems to use the detector
If you want to use that outside you need to purchase the audio receiver
Stabila layout laser works amazing. Try that oue
They also sells or they come with green glasses to see it
Unlock the self-leveling feature. That’s the issue.
use a receiver lot quicker on your own and when sunny it take a bit of practice after a while its quick great vids by the way
Excelente video saludos 👍👌

Dont do it…. Commercial is where the money is at unless youre doing whole neighborhoods or customs
Go get yourself a Hilti PM 40-MG

Stabila layout station is the way to go in this situation and many other more.
What are your boots bro? They look sweet, not too chunky!
You need reciver with peep sound but i use Bosch 12v green laser

Stabila is the best lol
@@stabila9706 yes out of them all I hv 3/4 sitting in my shop ! I use a Stabila 330 I think ? I am a finish carpenter and it’s great even for a lot of your work! Expensive yes! But not sitting in a corner !
He needs the receiver so he is not on the floor hunting for the line!
@@stabila9706 I’d love to try yours lol I’ll send my address
@@framingbeast720 I would send you a fine bottle of whiskey for for the hard work i see you doing! the Stabila stays here with me.. lol
@@stabila9706 Im crazy intrigued by the Stabila lax 600 laser. I’ve seen videos of framers using it and loving it
Wow i just realised how close you are haha. I frequently visit the home depot on centennial/barton
I bought this to and was super disappointed to! You can not use this outside whatsoever without the laser detector. I returned my to.
Dude, you should return the laser man too.
Next time on the end u had the target just put ur speed square standing up on your mark and you can see when the laser hits very edge so u can do it by yourself
good luck
Use the old calculator and a tape , really more efficient
Ya I think you’re right
i need a framing job In canda brampton can help me with that ?
no many house now?
I really want one for doing stuff. How much for it?
It was 500 I believe
I could tell right away as soon as you turned it on you stretched it in the wrong mode you had it locked and one click down would have been auto level that would have fixed it. you had it in the wrong setting.
I think after the first couple minutes of messing with it I would've set it to the side and went back to the tape and chalk box lol
It’s not his fault his helper couldn’t hit the target with the laser
@@mikeznel6048 true ive used these for plumbing and racking the walls and they were very convenient
Yeah it’s so hard to see outside red green its just really hard to see the line really nice inside the house the framers at work want one I just keep telling them don’t waste your money
You cannot clearly see the laser line in natural light and have to use receivers.
Best for use inside tho.
Yeah, just need the receiver.
I definitely wouldn't have read the instructions either.
just read other comments lasers fine set receiver on pencil mark micro adjust laser other end wait for beep sound perfect square as I said it takes a bit of time to get fast
Learn to use your tools before going to the job site! You needed the laser line detector that works in sunny conditions! Again know your tools!
Framers using lasers ? 😧. Pinch me
If you want to do that job by yourself and faster, invest in a Stabila Total Station. I have one and won’t use anything else. Pricey but pays for itself.
Use a Laserliner
You are like @Thecrazyframer (a youtube channel)! Your job ,your voice , and not showing your face in camera, almost like him.
You're a guy who might want to read the instructions. You don't level it and get it online buy having a guy rotate the entire laser at the other end of the house.

100 %. A lot of mixed messages on how visible they are in daylight conditions
That’s true and most of the marketing videos are shot inside a building if you notice.
@@mians3955 true
lol 😂 no working May be is the tool not the brand
The pendulum is locked , learn your tool
Got to switch it to unlock at the bottom
It’s possible that was the issue but my concern was it wasn’t showing up beyond about 15 ft in the daylight
Perhaps you should have read the instructions and manoeuvred the body yourself
Ehhh. Old school never fails.... maybeeee sticking with what you've spent decades doing will be faster just because of how engrained it is
😂 wow that's some incompetence hard at work.
