That's because most cheap tools have a laser or two now, the lasers
they use are inaccurate (not set correctly), and bright enough to
blind you for the rest of the day (probably intentional so you don't
see how off they are).

I don't know if you can make laser crosshairs fine enough to be useful
for PCB work, the ones I have seen on saws and drill presses would be
worthless for the purpose because the line is too wide.
