Thanks Mark
I don't think it came from you. I bought it at plant worx. I will have to play hunt the invoice. I didn't realize they had a 3 warranty. Yes I do use it on a grading beam.

Oh ok, sadly it won't have been us as we don't go to trade shows.
Pursue the invoice / warranty route, and you know where we are if you need any further help

I have a cr600 and have been wondering if its better(more accurate) to mount it higher or lower on the dipper/bucket? I've run it everywhere from the side of grading bucket to the top of dipper....

There is no right or wrong location as long as it has a good line of sight to the laser. It obviously entirely depends on the plant you are using and that particular job in terms of where it is best positioned. Although because of the magnet position it can only be mounted on the left side and then has a 270° pickup.

In terms of accuracy, this is determined by the laser not the detector and so it will just pick up and display the datum you are working to, although the unobstructed line of site is critical.

Some of it also comes down to the individual operator in terms of what works best. As I say to all customers, lasers levels / detectors etc... are there to support your existing method of working but just speed up the process. Not replace the years of expertise and the methods you use to get the job done.

There are a number of youtube videos that shows the various setup positions people run the CR600 in which may also help. Just search spectra cr600.

I liked it on the bucket because you could reach and grade and just worry about keeping bucket level.

I understand the reciever and laser will have the same accuracy if your dipper is always perfect vertical, but if your off a little and its at the top reciever is still inline with vertical, if it's down lower it's moved more.

As I say it depends on the exact project you are doing as to what is required... and how the operator is working. The CR600 will cover most projects for varying size plant.

However, for more complicated projects (requiring significantly more budget) the reason models like the LR50 and LR60 exist is to allow the operator to also have a plumb indicator in the case of the LR50 and on the LR60 a Plumb Indicator as well as Angle Compensation.

Can't wait to give my new CR600 and Fukada tru grade thingy a whirl on Monday morning. Perfect job, a dig out for a patio sloping away from house.

Is the issue not that if the dipper is pissed then the whole stack is lower down? A hypotenuse being longer than a vertical line, if you take a 1m vertical line and set it at 10 degrees the overall vertical height has to be less.

or the other way round.

That's how i find it works , dig pretty normally and just watch for the flash of green and hear the beep that tells me i'm not far off. When I need real accuracy there is usually someone on the staff that I've used to set the laser to. What isn't happening anymore is getting out to check levels and finding that surrounding visual cues have put me a foot out

I've been trying to figure out what radio remote display setup works with #9 and haven't had any luck.

Hi all,

It was recommended we post our company details here for future reference.

We are Laser Levels Online. A family business based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, who unsurprisingly based on the name, solely specialise in Laser Levels

Selling mid-range (Fukuda) or premium brand (Spectra Precision) Rotary and Cross Line Lasers as well as supporting accessories (Tripods / Staff's etc..) aimed to meet a wide range of customer budgets and requirements.

So whether you are doing General Groundworks, Field drainage, 800m of Fencing or any conceivable application in between, we have a Laser Level option for you.

All products we sell are kept in stock and are checked and calibrated (where applicable) by us before dispatch. We typically use DPD Local which is a free next working day or free 2-day service to Ireland courier service for all orders placed and paid for Monday - Friday before 3:45 pm. Excluding weekends and all Bank holidays.

If you are unsure which laser you require, give us a quick call on Freephone: 08000 869 769 and our extremely knowledgable team will talk you through the various options. It is often best if you can see our website in real-time so that we can talk and show you the different laser level choices based on your budget.

All lasers we sell are backed up by full repair & calibration facilities. This is important as so many online tooling retailers nowadays are simply "moving boxes" with little onward support and limited product knowledge.
At the end of the day you are buying precision levelling equipment (not a hammer) and we think it's nice to know that be it a week after purchase or 6 years down the line, you can always call us up and talk through your particular levelling application and receive guidance on how to get the most from your Laser.

Be sure to check out our website here: www.laser-level.co.uk or call Freephone: 08000 869 769

Thanks

il be looking for a new dual grade laser myself
Currently run 2x Hilti and
A geomax dual grade

Here, dumb question, but how do you guys set up your laser and receiver? Don't want to look like more of a knob than neccessary first thing tomorrow morning

I have 150mm to take out on a slight gradient. I can set the laser up OK on a tripod and program the fall no problem. Do I just set the receiver on the dipper so it shows green at the start of the dig then move it up 150mm? Or what?

sounds like a plan

That's how I do it.

Do you use the beeps or the lights?

I've been using the lights because the beeping is super (I won't mess up the Google ratings) annoying. I'm thinking of giving the beeps/tone a try and just looking at the dirt/bucket interaction....

The other option is to use the staff and receiver and dig a small area to the desired height then sit bucket flat on that spot and set dipper receiver then. Just make sure you account for best height on dipper for receiver when setting tripod up

 

[Canal Navvy]

I tend to dig a small section and check with the staff same as GazCro. Once i've got the level I set the bucket full open just above the dig level and put the receiver on at that. I'm usually digging in Cotswold brash so anything poking up comes out and gets finer stone pushed back in it's place so the bucket teeth work as a rake.
