Lasers are a great choice for solving misalignment problems and offering correction but other tools are required to do a precision shaft alignment job.

Checking for coupling hub runout, shaft runout and soft foot are important considerations when starting the alignment process. You need a dial indicator and magnet base to complete this pre-alignment runout task. Coupling hubs bored off center and bent shaft can also be detected using this same dial indicator kit, a useful compliment to your alignment tool kit.
