Hi, What about a vernier dividing plate? A plate or disc is divided into, say, 360 holes plus a center hole. Over this is placed a second disc or arm with 10 holes taking up just 9 deg. which gives a vernier precision of 1/10 deg. The laser could be fixed to the top plate I have CNC equipm

Carl I am attaching my custom laser trigon, the image is but 14k. I use it for dials about one foot square with gnomons of copper sheet. Errors creep in quickly as the dial plate expands in size. Alignment takes some time, and involves the rotational axis being well aligned with the style, and
