Woodworking equipment (sliding compound miter saws, for example) use a laser to project a cut line on the material. It seems to work pretty well in light or dark conditions. I've seen low cost laser levels (<$40, iirc) that could be adapted to this. Two of them aimed at the drill bit would create a crosshair target. They wouldn't need to be at right angles and height of the material shouldn't be an issue. Phil
