    Default Stabila LAX 50 laser Question

    to the guys who own and use the stabila lax 50 laser. Ive just got one and been using - love the tool and think its awesome. question is - how do you guys get the bubble in the middle of the circle? or doesnt it matter too much? Ive been wedging a tile wedge in between the laser and the pole to get the bubble in the circle!!
    Any easier ways?
    thanks

    Self leveling is far more accurate, I had one with centre bubble far quicker with a level..

    the lax50 is self levelling but still has a small bubble in the centre, ive checked it with a level even when the bubble is out of the circle and its still level. Just got to get used to the new bit of kit i guess!

    Bubble on the Lax50 is just a guide. It is a truly self levelling laser. It will give off a steady beam when level, and flash when it is not

    thanks Blocko, was just a tad worried when I saw the bubble was out of the circle and I'd been working from it! Good news.

    Blocko is correct.
    I've never even looked close enough at mine to notice that it has a bubble - oops!.

    That said, I can't remember when I last use it either - I tend to prefer my spirit levels.
